El Nido Resorts PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES
Cradled by the limestone cliffs of Bacuit Bay, El Nido Resorts offers access to one of the Philippines’ most spellbinding seascapes. Accessible only by boat from El Nido town, time here is structured around tides and shared moments on the water. On Pangulasian — the ‘Island of the Sun’ — a
wide sweep of sand runs almost the length of the island, backed by forest and a shallow lagoon. Villas are positioned to maximise privacy and views, with direct beach access or elevated vantage points. Just offshore, coral gardens support fish and turtles, and snorkelling is possible straight from the shore. At Miniloc, the atmosphere leans towards
exploration. As the first of the resorts, it retains the character of a coastal village, with thatched cottages tucked beneath towering karst walls. From here, Bacuit Bay’s iconic Big and Small Lagoons are reached by kayak. Days are often spent island- hopping or paddling between coves, while evenings bring guests together through Filipino traditions, including boodle fights where seafood, rice and vegetables are shared on banana leaves.
Newly renovated, Lagen at El Nido Resorts is
the most secluded of the three islands. Framed by forest and limestone cliffs, the island unfolds as an eco-sanctuary shaped by shared experiences — from guided nature walks and dawn birdwatching to lagoon kayaking and sunset cruises. On land and water, at the table and through sustainability- led initiatives, Lagen’s signature experiences are thoughtfully designed to foster a sense of place, creating opportunities for genuine connection and meaningful encounters. Dining plays a central role, with shared tables, beachside barbecues and local menus. Overwater villas extend into shallows, while communal spaces invite conversation, reflection and a deeper sense of place. Thoughtful practice links all three islands. Solar
power supports operations, menus follow seasonal produce and cultural experiences — including weaving workshops — connect guests to Palawan’s living heritage. El Nido Resorts in Palawan forms Ayala Land Hospitality’s premier island destinations, setting the benchmark for eco-luxury and nature-driven experiences.
DON’T MISS Beat the crowds with a dawn kayak to Big Lagoon. Guests get first access, while the water is serene and the lagoon feels untouched
