Villa Verde Safari & Pagi Dive Center

El Nido


Villa Verde Safari & Pagi Dive Center occupies lonely Dagmay Beach on El Nido's northern peninsula, about 2km north of Duli Beach the way the crow flies (4km on a rough road if you're not a crow). It has three comfortable fan cottages, kayaks and a dive centre.

To get here, turn off the National Hwy around the Km 294 marker and continue 7km on a very rough road (follow the signs).
