Hong Kong-based The Pavilions Hotels & Resorts has signed its first property in the Philippines and will plant its flag in El Nido, Palawan Island come 1Q2022.

The 96-key El Nido Beach & Spa Resort will be a pool-villa property occupying 10 hectares of the beachfront estate, promising panoramic tropical ocean views, an adventure park, dive center, waterfalls, and adventure walks, a signature spa, and wellness facilities, as well as unique dining experiences.

The group will offer its signature Curated Journeys bespoke travel itineraries at the new resort.

Accommodation options include one- and two-bedroom luxury villas, as well as 20 Maldivian-style over-water villas, each with a private plunge pool and direct access to the ocean and the house reef beneath.

Commenting on the development, Gordon Oldham, founder, and owner of the boutique hotel group said: “The new resort truly embodies our philosophy of delivering unique experiences to our guests. We’re also very excited to be the first international luxury resort brand in El Nido.”

Gemmalyn Crosby will lead the El Nido Beach & Spa Resort as president.
