Cauayan Island Resort, El Nido
Voted one of the most beautiful places on the planet, any resort located in the incredible Palawan Province can't fail to impress. Surrounded by beauty, with awe-inspiring limestone cliffs and unspoilt jungle, El Nido really is a must stop on any visit to the Philippines. Cauyan Island Resort, a four star hideaway, is tucked away within one of the picture perfect coves, with a small but sublime beach and a charming local style - totally in tune with its environment. Accessible with flights into El Nido airport from Boracay, Manila and Cebu, the island team will collect you on arrival for your short boat ride through islands to the resort.

Twenty-three simple but cosy rooms are spread through the picturesque gardens, Beach View Villas are hidden away behind the beach, whereas Lagoon Villas offer a slightly more intimate space with wooden terraces overlooking a manmade lagoon and waterfall. Water Villas sit on stilts over the turquoise waters with uninterrupted views of the ocean from your drop lounge bed. Large Beach Front Villas sit right on the powdery shore with outdoor showers and private gardens. For the ultimate,Cauayan Pool Villas are perched on the top of the hill with uninterrupted views and the privacy of your own pool – it doesn’t get much more romantic than this!

Why Choose Turquoise?
Family Owned & Run
We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.
Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
