The El Nido Conservation Region in the Philippines is a stunning seaside resort in the north of Palawan Island. Tourists are received by the small town of El Nido, which gave the name to the resort. From here, guests head to beach hotels scattered along the scenic coastline or lined up on nearby islets.

The architecture of the luxury hotels is so well integrated into the environment that the buildings merge with the pristine landscape. In 2019, El Nido entered the top ten resorts in Southeast Asia.
