El Nido
Selected entries from the current guide for El Nido.
El Nido, Philippines
Amianan sits on Pangulasian Island in El Nido, Palawan, where the Sulu Sea frames every meal and the surrounding reef and forest define what reaches the kitchen. The dining experience here belongs to a small category of island-resort tables where geography is the menu's primary logic. For the Philippines, few settings compress natural abundance and culinary intention this tightly into a single address.
El Nido, Philippines
Cauayan Restaurant belongs to El Nido’s island-resort dining tier, where the setting does much of the framing and the kitchen is judged by how well it handles Palawan seafood, tropical produce, and resort logistics. Its Bacuit Bay address makes it less about street-level discovery than about a contained island meal shaped by tide, transfer, and the Philippine coast.
El Nido, Philippines
Clubhouse Restaurant sits within El Nido’s island-resort dining culture, where meals are shaped as much by limestone views, boat transfers, and resort pacing as by the plate. It is better read as part of Palawan’s broader hospitality rhythm than as a destination tasting-menu room: informal, coastal, and tied to the slower tempo of Lagen Island.

El Nido, Philippines
Occupying its own island in Bacuit Bay, Pangulasian sits at the premium end of El Nido's resort tier, recognised by Tatler Asia as both Best Resort and Best Service (2025–2026) and named Philippines' Leading Boutique Resort at the 2025 World Travel Awards. The address is the proposition: private beach frontage, limestone karst views, and direct access to Palawan's protected waters, without sharing the island with another property.
El Nido, Philippines
Positioned in El Nido's Old Town on Palawan, The Funny Lion occupies a different tier from the island's remote-island resorts: 49 designer rooms at street level in the working heart of the town. The property offers direct access to the Old Town's network of restaurants, boat terminals, and local markets, making it a functional base for island-hopping itineraries as much as a design-conscious retreat.
El Nido, Philippines
Part of the Great Hotels of the World collection, El Nido Resorts Lagen Island is a 5-star, 51-room eco-luxury property set on a forested island within Bacuit Bay, Palawan. The resort pairs direct access to the Bacuit Archipelago's marine environment with a culinary programme rooted in Filipino ingredients and local fishermen's catch. Advance booking is strongly advised given limited inventory across all room categories.
El Nido, Philippines
Cauayan Island Resort occupies its own private island in Bacuit Bay, earning World Luxury Hotel Awards recognition as Global Winner for Luxury Island Resort and Continent Winner for Luxury Honeymoon Resort. The property positions itself at the upper end of El Nido's private-island tier, offering seclusion that the mainland cannot replicate. For travellers prioritising genuine separation from El Nido's busier corridors, Cauayan is the clearest option in the bay.
El Nido, Philippines
Lihim Resorts sits in the hills above Sitio Caalan, positioning itself among El Nido's premium hideaway tier with two Luxury Lifestyle Awards to its name, Regional Winner for Luxury Lifestyle Resort and Country Winner for Luxury Hideaway Resort. The property operates in a part of Palawan where the gap between a forgettable stay and a genuinely absorbing one comes down to how attentively the experience is managed rather than how large the footprint is.
El Nido, Philippines
A MICHELIN Selected property on Palawan's Lio Tourism Estate, Piece Lio sits within El Nido's planned eco-tourism zone where low-density design and protected coastal access define the address.
