WHY WE LOVE THIS HOTEL

DETAILED DECRIPTION

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.
