Four Nights in a Luxury Beach Tent in El Nido, Palawan

Four nights glamping in a beach tent at Nacpan Beach in El Nido, Palawan, with sunsets, barefoot dinners and happy hour by the water.

Getting to El Nido is half the fun. We left from NAIA Terminal 4 in Manila on a small AirSwift flight and landed in one of Palawan’s most famous corners of the Philippines.

Home for the next four nights was a luxury glamping tent on Nacpan Beach. We walk you through the tent and its facilities, then spend the time where you’d expect: on the long stretch of sand out front. Evenings meant happy hour and dinner right on the beach, which is a hard routine to give up once you’ve settled into it. For more ideas, see our Philippines page.
