Hotels in Palawan

Often called the Philippines' last frontier, Palawan is a long, slender island province where jungle-covered mountains meet some of the planet's clearest waters. The main draw is its staggering natural beauty, best experienced on a boat trip through the otherworldly lagoons and karst cliffs of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park or the Big Lagoon in El Nido. For many, the ultimate destination is Coron, famous for its crystal-clear Kayangan Lake and the sunken Japanese warships that make for incredible wreck diving.

Most visitors fly into Puerto Princesa, the capital and a practical base for exploring the underground river, but the true island magic is found further north. El Nido, with its dramatic Bacuit Archipelago, is perfect for adventurous couples and solo travelers seeking island-hopping tours. Coron, reachable by air or a longer ferry, caters strongly to divers and those looking for a more remote escape. Families often prefer the more developed amenities in Puerto Princesa or the beachfront resorts lining the road to Sabang.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 64 places to stay across Palawan, reflecting its range. Accommodation is dominated by charming, mid-range boutique hotels and beachfront bungalows, especially in El Nido and Coron, alongside a solid selection of budget-friendly hostels for backpackers. A handful of full-service luxury resorts offer seclusion for a special occasion.
