Palawan
This exclusive resort has rows of deluxe cabanas built directly over the water, which at night is illuminated by spotlights, turning it a translucent green. The offshore island nature reserve means there’s nearby coral and marine life, perfect for snorkelling, and a range of other water-based activities.
It's in northern Taytay Bay, about an hour by boat from the port in Taytay; the four daily scheduled boat transfers are free for guests.
