An island voted as “The World’s Best Island” by Travel + Leisure for two straight years, Palawan definitely stands as the ultimate tropical island destination. An archipelago with 1,780 islands located on the western region of the Philippines, Palawan boasts of crystal clear waters, fine white sand, and a limitless number of private islands, lagoons, and caves to explore.

With islands spread apart, uninhabited beaches and mountains, and a rich tourist infrastructure, Palawan is the perfect setting to enjoy the spoils of nature in your very own private luxury villa. The island’s main airport is located in the province’s capital, Puerto Princesa, with direct flights to the country’s capital of Manila, as well as the international airport in Mactan, Cebu, another amazing island destination in the Philippines.

Palawan’s two main sites for stunning beaches and natural offerings are in Coron, which is on the southeast region; and El Nido, located to the north of the main island. The world famous Underground River, which was included in the list of the World’s New Seven Wonders of Nature in 2012, is located in Puerto Princessa, which is the jumping point to the rest of the archipelago. But if your cup of tea doesn’t include tourist spots and hubs, the island is still rich with hidden gems and of-the-beaten-path locations that are definitely just as worthy. For a more rustic, raw, and unspoilt feel, Palawan’s southern region of Balabac are a definite must visit.

Plenty of luxury hotels are found in El Nido, but if you’re looking for a more private and exclusive accommodation, Palawan certainly does not lack in such high end luxuries. Private villas, luxury homes, and private islands for rent are aplenty, each offering unique experiences that will surely make you feel like you have an entire tropical island paradise all to yourself.

With thousands of islands, beaches left to right, Palawan’s selection of private villas, homes, and private islands are yours for the taking. From villas located on an entire island all to yourself, all the amenities of a 5-star accommodation are yours to enjoy. Dining, private sunset cruises, and island hopping to secret coves and inlets are just some of the exclusive activities you can enjoy.

Witness the magnificent beauty of Palawan right from your master suite, opening to the vast sea in front of you, and be served by private butlers and personal chefs – creating an unmatched tropical vacation.

If you wish to be nearer to the island’s capital, the airport, or tourist spots, then a private villa in El Nido or Coron will definitely deliver. Either located right on the beach or on top of a hill, these villas create private sanctuaries where you are embraced by Palawan’s dream island environment, and allowing you and your companions exclusivity that no 5-star resort or hotel can provide.

Private villa properties or estates are available on the island, where you can choose between a villa for two or 15; or a private island that can host an entire party of 20 people.
