Palawan, often hailed as the Philippines’ last ecological frontier, is a haven for luxury seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. This island province is renowned for its postcard-perfect scenery, from dramatic limestone cliffs rising out of turquoise waters to lush jungles teeming with wildlife. Palawan has over 1,700 pristine islands and islets scattered in its four main destinations: El Nido, Puerto Princesa, Coron, and San Vicente.
The enchanting lagoons of El Nido and the hidden coves of Coron in the North offer unparalleled opportunities for exploration, relaxation or cove hopping boat tours. Meanwhile, the Puerto Princesa Underground River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, captivates visitors with its subterranean wonders. Take a guided boat tour into the St. Paul cavern, and journey through an underground realm of towering stalactites, intricate cave wall formations, and serene, crystal-clear lagoons. Explore the surrounding rainforest, part of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, offering world class hiking and birdwatching opportunities.
Trekking into Kayangan Lake you will find the most iconic and photographed spot in Coron: the view of the sea from an elevated cliff on the way to the lake.
Nacpan Beach, located about 45 minutes from El Nido town in Palawan, is a pristine, unspoiled stretch of paradise often regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines. Known for its soft golden sand, clear turquoise waters, and gently swaying coconut trees, it offers a tranquil escape from the busier tourist spots in the area.
For divers, the UNESCO Marine World Heritage Site Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, is a haven boasting some of the most spectacular coral reefs and marine biodiversity in the world.
Palawan’s dedication to eco-tourism ensures that its beauty is preserved for generations, while its luxury resorts and private island retreats provide an exclusive escape. Whether you’re diving shipwrecks, kayaking through hidden lagoons, or savoring sunset views from a private villa, Palawan offers a bespoke journey into paradise.
