Location: Located 160 miles southwest of Manila, this private paradise is easily accessible, yet still remote and exclusive.
History: Ariara Island, in recent years, has been mentioned for its unparalleled experience, in such world-renowned titles as Harrods Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, The Spectator, and Wine and Dine.
Service: Guests won’t have to lift a finger, should they choose not to, with their own personal chef, as well as a team of personal staff to attend to their every need.
A 125-acre private island in the Palawan region, Ariara Island is one of the most stunning resorts in the Philippines. Unlike most resorts, we only allow one party to book the property at a time, giving guests ultimate exclusivity. The resort has beach cottages and jungle villas, each with a large bedroom, a four poster style bed, and a walk-in wardrobe. There is an enormous marble bathroom with either a wooden bath or a marble bath hand carved from a block of Romblon marble, and an open-air shower. The cottages are surrounded on two sides by wide verandas with cooling ceiling fans which provide ample room to relax and enjoy the view with comfortable seating, hammocks and a breakfast table. Relaxation is the name of the game here, but more active guests can enjoy various watersports.
