EL NIDO - PALAWAN - PHILIPPINES
Back to nature, in touch with your inner soul !
A dream eco, healthy and self-healing pampering holiday in a picture-postcard country unknown until 30 years ago, made of limestone karst outcroppings, rocky crags jutting proudly from the sea blanketed by primeval rainforest, birdsong.
The Palawan grouping comprises 25 percent of all the national islands yet it hosts just fraction of the population. Consequently, nature enjoys an ample run. Peace and privacy are the currency in this region of gin-blue seas, hideaway coves and magnificent ocean vistas.
Set on the emerald west coast of North Palawan, El Nido Resorts runs two spectacularly-sited properties with rustic villas on stilts backed by soaring limestone crags looking over a sandy coral cove and startlingly blue waters.
This resort believes in respecting its natural resources through responsible tourism. The resort work closely with the local community in the prevention of illegal fishing, promotion of coastal clean-ups, environmental education campaigns, monitoring of snorkeling sites and dive sites, and installation and maintenance of mooring buoys. Having been operating in El Nido since 1981, the resort has gained extensive knowledge of the area. From this knowledge and experience evolved a distinct quality of service that allows guests to have an enriching holiday.
The staff works hard to keep things spotless and a staggering 1,000kg of non-biodegradable junk is collected each year. Guests are encouraged to do the same and limit their own litter.
In-room there's an informative chart detailing local marine life and fauna with pictures.
The resort offers activities as diverse as the environment. Sunbathe or have a picnic lunch in secluded beaches, kayak in secret lagoons, explore isolated islands, take a mangrove tour, snorkel with colourful tropical fishes, have a relaxing massage or spa treatment, rock climb or go scuba diving. There are more than 20 diving sites, all easily accessible from the resort!
