PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES
Your home in El Nido
Right in the heart of Lio Beach in El Nido, Palawan, Pandan Villas, a unique four-villa property that exudes a perfect balance of space and flow.
With its dynamic design, sustainability practices, and excellent service from local Palaweño staff, Pandan Villas appeals to families and groups of friends who value privacy in the luxury of their own villas with Lio's restaurants, bars, and shops within reach.
“Most hotels have either a king bed or two twin beds, so families have to book two rooms. In Pandan Villas, it’s an all-in-one package. You have the space for yourselves.”
Family
We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for families of all ages.
Couples
Couples need to spend quality time together to nurture their relationship.
Friends
Pandan Villas' open living area is perfect for hanging out with friends or small groups.
Stay
Whether you’re traveling with your partner, friends or family, our villas were carefully designed to make you feel at home.
Our private space and personalized attention will surely give you the relaxation you need during your well-deserved El Nido holiday.
Dine
Pandan Villas offers a personalized dining or feasting experience for the guests. A private chef will be dedicated to prepare and cook for you and your loved ones, all the food that your hearts (and tummies) desire, in the comforts of your own cloistered villa.
Explore
Indulge and explore the islands like a local with the best off-beat activities. Explore the islands, walk the 4 kilometer Lio beach, trek natural trails, kayak at Lio’s inland nature reserve, and explore by bike the forest and barrios.
A guest who chooses to stay at Pandan Villas, who walks over to Kalye Artisano for an amazing breakfast at Islas Makinas (the locally smoked Palawan bacon alone is worth it), who eats lunch at the lovely beachfront restaurant Yoga Tayo, and books a boat for island hopping is helping sustain the island’s efforts to protect itself—despite or because of tourists.
Cadlao Lagoon
The best way to experience the stunning Cadlao Lagoon—sometimes turquoise, sometimes emerald—is by kayaking. A tour company like Bellita Tours takes tourists to the lagoon and then rents kayaks from the boatmen. It’s quite a sight seeing the rows of empty kayaks being pulled by a single kayaker approaching the boats.
There is something about El Nido’s limestone cliffs that quiets your soul. Maybe it’s the knowledge that these were formed millions of years ago without help or interference from humans, making them even more beautiful in your head. And when you see their reflection on the water’s surface, or a single colorful kayak gliding through the entrance of the lagoon, the cliffs just take your breath away.
