The protected nature reserve making up the majority of Bacuit Bay and El Nido has helped make these weathered limestone islands into the ultimate island honeymoon getaway.
El Nido is sufficiently secluded to prevent any large influx of visitors (you either endure an eight-hour drive from the closest major airport in Puerto Princesa, or you ride a chartered aircraft onto a tiny nearby airstrip), and the islands are gifted with white-sand beaches, hiking trails, dive spots, mangrove forests, caves, and a range of resorts from inexpensive to five-star.
Take on all these natural endowments as a couple – whether you’re kayaking into a hidden cove on Bacuit Bay on a boat built for two, or enjoying an intimate dinner on the beach, you can make plenty of romantic memories in El Nido.
