At Lagen Island Resort, a 45-minute boat transfer from El Nido Airport, manager Jen Zafra knows that spectacular natural settings can enhance life’s most romantic experiences.

The resort offers 42 villas all with a private balcony which boasts of having breathtaking views of both sunrise and the sunset. Guests across the globe choose to linger at the island’s floras and faunas, stroll along its 750 meters long beach and snorkel to encounter the mesmerizing underwater scenery and its diverse marine life.

A lot of people would agree that the Philippines is a traveler’s paradise. We have mountains that are perfect for any time of hiker, coral reefs that can dazzle any scuba diver, and beaches that are admired the world over. But having the most beautiful islands comes with a prize – the responsibility to take care of them in every way we can.
