The property
The Island of the Sun
Pangulasian is the most refined of the El Nido Resorts group, set on a steep forested island with a long white beach on one side. Its position in Bacuit Bay means the karst towers are the backdrop in every direction, and the Big and Small Lagoons are a short boat ride away. El Nido Resorts has one of the better environmental track records in the Philippines — reef monitoring, waste management and a no-single-use-plastic policy across the group.
