The Island life: Discover El Nido, Philippines

El Nido is a surreal place: Endless beaches, crystal clear waters and an underwater world, that will take your breath away.

El Nido is the primary base for exploring Palawan's star attraction, the stunning Bacuit Archipelago. Tiny swiftlets build edible nests out of saliva in the immense limestone cliffs that surround the ramshackle town proper – hence the name, El Nido (nest in Spanish).
