Luxury 4 Days / 3 Nights Private Expedition El Nido - Coron

The Journey

Day 1 — El Nido to Your First Secret Island

Your private expedition departs El Nido as the sun warms the towering limestone cliffs.
Spend the day exploring hidden coves, private beaches, and coral gardens, selecting stops based entirely on your interests — snorkelling, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the silence of untouched nature.

As evening approaches, you settle into a secluded island retreat. Your private chef prepares a sunset dinner over white sand and calm tide. Drift off in the comfort of your exclusive beach villa or luxury tent as the stars blanket the sky.

Day 2 — The Passage to Ariara Island

Your day begins with a calm cruise across Palawan’s bluest waters as your private vessel makes its way north. The landscapes become more dramatic and untouched — hidden coves, soaring limestone cliffs, and reefs glowing beneath glass-clear sea.

By early afternoon, Ariara Island emerges ahead of you: a perfect curve of soft sand, lush greenery, and elegant villas tucked discreetly along the shoreline. As you step onto the long wooden jetty, Ariara’s warm and attentive team welcomes you. With a guest limit of just 22, the island feels peaceful, spacious, and wonderfully personal.

Your villa is a beautiful blend of barefoot luxury and tropical comfort — timber details, high thatched roofs, wide open spaces, and verandas with views of the beach and the ocean. Fresh island breeze flows through every corner, and it already feels like your own serene retreat.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy:

• swim or snorkel directly off the beach,

• explore the reef by kayak or paddleboard,

• curl up in a hammock with the sound of waves below,

• or simply take in the quiet beauty of a place designed for slow, soulful living.

As sunset approaches, the island glows gold. Your chef prepares a beautifully curated dinner — fresh seafood, local flavours, and tropical touches — served on the beach or in Ariara’s charming open-air dining space. Lanterns flicker, waves whisper, and the sky melts into stars.

With so few guests and so much space, Ariara feels wonderfully intimate — a private-island experience shared only with a handful of others on the same wavelength.

Day 3 — A Full Day of Play, Exploration & Island Indulgence

Wake gently to the first light of morning as Ariara stirs with soft waves and warm breeze. After a leisurely breakfast, the island becomes yours to experience however you wish — with a curated selection of optional activities that let you shape the day to your own rhythm.

Choose an early-morning guided hike to the island’s mountain viewpoint or wander the forest trails that circle Ariara. Keep an eye out for the island’s impressive giant monitor lizards on a relaxed “safari,” often spotted sunning themselves on rocks or moving quietly through the undergrowth.

If the sea is calling, slip into the water for optional snorkelling on Ariara’s thriving private reef, or elevate the adventure with watersports such as wakeboarding*, waterskiing*, donut rides*, or sub-winging*. Scuba divers or beginners can join an optional Discovery Dive*, complete with a pool session and a gentle shallow-water dive guided by professionals.

Prefer something slower? Enjoy a peaceful morning with a book from the island library, challenge your group to chess, backgammon, beach volleyball, or boules (even under the floodlights at night), or simply float the afternoon away in calm turquoise water.

Wellness lovers can indulge in optional full-body massages* or soothing aloe vera treatments*, perfect after a day under the sun.

As afternoon melts into evening, the island’s most sought-after optional experience awaits: a sunset cruise* aboard the 43ft Lagoon Power catamaran. Glide around neighbouring islands as the horizon burns gold and rose, sipping drinks and savouring the slow, beautiful glow of Palawan’s end-of-day magic.

Whether you pack your day with adventure or choose pure relaxation, Day 3 offers the freedom to create your perfect island experience — in a place that feels designed just for you.

Day 4 — A Gentle Farewell & Scenic Voyage to Coron

Wake slowly on your final morning at Ariara, enjoying one last walk along its quiet shoreline as the island glows in early light. A leisurely breakfast is prepared for you — fresh fruit, warm pastries, and the soothing rhythm of waves marking the soft close of your stay.

When you're ready, your private vessel departs from the long wooden jetty, beginning a beautifully scenic journey toward Coron. The route winds through some of Palawan’s most dramatic seascapes: towering limestone cliffs, hidden islets, and water so clear you can see corals glowing beneath the surface.

Along the way, you have the option to stop for a final swim, a snorkel in a calm turquoise bay, or simply stretch out on deck and soak in the last moments of open sea and island solitude.

As Coron’s iconic karst formations rise ahead, you feel the shift back into the world — but with the deep calm and richness that only four days of pure island living can bring.

Arrive in Coron refreshed, fulfilled, and carrying the kind of memories that stay with you long after the journey ends.
