Nestled in the heart of Cadlao Lagoon is Araw Lounge, a quaint and rustic island nook by Ubugon Cove built with reverence for the lagoon’s natural landscape. You can find yourself here snorkeling or kayaking, or taking an afternoon nap in the shade of tropical trees.

Araw Lounge offers a bespoke brunch or late lunch to replenish yourself after a day of water activities. Enjoy specials from their private tour’s menu including the day’s freshest catch, fruit nectars, and coconut water straight from the shell.

View El Nido’s famed sunset in Tubigen

Float in the sea with a stunning view of the shores of Pinagbuyutan Island in Tubigen Lounge

Frolic in cool waters, linger until sunset, and toast to luxury in simplicity in Tubigen Lounge. Nestled along the shores of Pinagbuyutan Island, this lounge floats just above rock formations and offers unparalleled views of El Nido’s famed golden hour.

Surrounded by lush greenery, guests can enjoy hammocks, woven mats, sun beds, board games, swings—and everything else you desire for a perfect day of relaxation until sunset. Bespoke meals, midday snacks, and libations are also an option when visiting this favorite sunset destination.

Lounge in the fine white sands of Sabang Beach

Beach lovers will love the simplicity and tropical scenery of Hayag Beach Club in the small fishing village of Sabang Beach

An oasis of serenity and tranquility, Hayag Beach Club in Sabang Beach is a private lounge and bar for beach lovers burrowed in a small fishing village. The rustic and quaint location is set for intimate beach soirees with Aperol Spritz in hand as the perfect way to enjoy the tropical scenery over cocktails with friends and family.

When you book a tour with Lihim Resorts, guests can curate their own feast of seafood specials, tropical nectars, lounge music, and fine spirits. Activities include water sports, trekking through the forest, or just lounging on the beach admiring its blue-green waters.

Go off the grid in Balinuad Beach

With its powdery white shore and endless stretches of beach, the King Kong Lounge in Balinuad Beach is the perfect place to get away from it all. When viewed from the sea, the contour of the hill that backdrops the beach resembles the head of a gorilla. It is this resemblance that has earned it its popular moniker.

The sea breeze can either caress one into a restful nap by the beach or energize long hours for nature walks, snorkeling, and kayaking. It’s an off-grid, undisturbed island revelation where travelers can truly unwind by the sea, luxuriating all day long in its famous white fine sand.
