Set on the slopes of a hill, facing El Nido Bay and Cadlao Island, Atalaya El Nido Resort announces the opening this November 2025, offering guests an intimate blend of barefoot luxury, world-class design, and authentic Filipino hospitality.
Nestled between limestone cliffs and turquoise waters, Atalaya El Nido features only 16 villas and suites — each crafted with natural materials, private terraces, and panoramic sea views. The resort is designed for travelers seeking exclusivity, tranquility, and a deep connection with nature, all while supporting sustainable tourism practices in Palawan.
“Our vision was to create a sanctuary where luxury feels effortless and the island’s raw beauty takes center stage,” says Ramil Morales, Operations Manager. “We wanted to showcase how five-star comfort and sustainability can coexist in harmony.”
Guests can enjoy curated experiences such as island-hopping, diving, private sandbar picnics, and wellness rituals inspired by Palawan’s natural elements. The resort’s dining concept highlights farm-to-table locally sourced ingredients and modern Filipino flavors, complemented by sunset views of the bay.
Atalaya Resort El Nido also partners with local artisans and community groups to ensure that every aspect of its operations — from architecture to amenities — respects the environment and community.
Key Highlights:
- 5-star boutique property with 16 private villas/suites
- Signature restaurant, beach lounge, and holistic spa
- Bespoke island excursions and marine conservation activities
- Eco-friendly architecture and locally inspired design
Atalaya Resort is located in El Nido, Palawan, just 10 minutes by car from El Nido airport. The resort is accepting advance bookings for stays beginning December 2025.
