El Nido - Venue & Concept

Home

Feet in the sand, cocktail in your hand, eyes to the horizon admiring sundown. This is you in one of the most breathtaking and enchanting islands in the entire world, El Nido in Palawan.

Southwest of the Philippines, north of Palawan, the island contrasts between the mundane and the sublime.

El Nido was named after the edible nests of swiftlets (collocalia fuciphaga), found in the crevices of its limestone cliffs. These nests, nido in Spanish, the main ingredient for the gourmet nido soup, are being sold at approximately US$ 3,000 per kilogram.

There are but a few places on earth that are left untouched and El Nido has some of the most beautiful sceneries you will ever encounter. This cluster of 45 small islands off the tip of Palawan is surrounded by white sand, magical lagoons, stunning limestone formations rising majestically above the bright blue turquoise glasslike waters teeming with vibrant marine life and coral reefs.

Bask and appreciate all the beauty in beaches and paradise islands that never end.

Experiences, Tours & Landscapes

Bring Me to These Islands

They call it remote, secret, and wild, but one thing that’s common in these islands is that each one is a surreal, awe-inspiring paradise

Big Lagoon Adventure

Explore the majestic Big Lagoon, located on the eastern side of Miniloc Island. Your boat will dock near the entrance, and you’ll kayak into a breathtaking world of emerald waters surrounded by dramatic limestone walls.

As you move deeper into the lagoon, the scenery opens into a vast natural amphitheater — one of the most iconic sights in El Nido. Calm, crystal-clear waters let you see vibrant marine life beneath your kayak as you glide along. A signature Miniloc Island experience that showcases the grand beauty of Palawan.

Small Lagoon Escape

Venture into the enchanting Small Lagoon on Miniloc Island, a peaceful sanctuary reachable through a narrow limestone passage. Once inside, a serene pool of turquoise water welcomes you — perfect for swimming or leisurely kayaking.

Though smaller than its famous counterpart, the Small Lagoon offers quiet corners, hidden caves, and intimate scenery where you can enjoy nature without distractions. It’s a magical escape, surrounded by towering cliffs and postcard-perfect views unique to Miniloc Island.

El Nido Bay & Cadlao Island Experience

Sail across the stunning El Nido Bay and take in the panoramic beauty of towering limestone cliffs, clear tropical waters, and vibrant island life. As you cruise toward Cadlao Island — the largest island in El Nido — you’ll be greeted by lush jungles, hidden beaches, and dramatic rock formations rising straight from the sea.

Explore Cadlao’s serene lagoons, snorkel above colorful coral gardens, or simply unwind on secluded sandy shores with breathtaking views back toward El Nido town. This unforgettable coastal journey blends relaxation and adventure, showcasing the very best of Palawan’s island paradise.
