Cottages Over Water

Cottages Over Water

The Water Cottages of Miniloc Island Resort sit on stilts over the water. The rooms are ideal for couples wanting a bit more privacy and a great view of the bay.

Miniloc Island Resort

Miniloc Island Resort

Starting life as the humblest of dive camps in 1985, Miniloc Island Resort retains its rustic, paradise-in-the-middle-of-nowhere feel even after expanding into a 43-room property. With Water Cottages built on stilts, Seaview Rooms with an awe-inspiring view of the bay, Garden Rooms surrounded by tropical plants, Beachside Rooms built right on the beach, and Cliff Cottages nestled in the limestone cliffs, there’s something for everyone’s inner Robinson Crusoe. Snorkelling can be done right off the pier, landing the snorkeller right in the middle of schools of colorful reef fish.

The pier at Miniloc Island Resort, El Nido, Palawan, Philippines is the jump off point for the fun, adventure, romance, and everything else in between that you've been craving for.

Sunset on Lagen Rock

Though working on an island resort can get pretty lonely at times, sights like this one are one of the perks.
