The idea
Why this works
A private pool, time on the beach and a few days exploring El Nido make a lovely base for a holiday with family or friends. This suggested seven-night trip uses Pangulasian Island Resort as one example of a stay we recommend for groups wanting privacy, luxury and a pool villa. One villa suits up to three guests; for larger groups, we can arrange two villas and request that they are close together. Cauayan Island Resort and Lihim Resorts are two other options, each with two-bedroom pool villas for four guests staying together. ZOMA organises comprehensive trips around you and your needs, bringing accommodation, airport transfers and excursions together.
What sets it apart
- A Pangulasian Pool Villa with a private plunge pool and bay views
- One villa for up to three guests, or nearby villas requested for larger groups
- Two-bedroom pool villas at Cauayan Island Resort or Lihim Resorts for four guests together
- Three suggested outings: Hidden Cove, Ille Cave and Kiminawit Village
- Private airport vehicle and boat transfers arranged subject to availability
The plan
Day by day
Open any day to see where you are, where you sleep and what the day holds. The map follows along, and every point on it opens the day that belongs to it.
Leave your first full day open for the beach and your villa's pool. There is time to settle into the island without packing everyone straight back onto a boat.
A suggested outing to Hidden Cove brings a change of beach and time beneath El Nido's limestone cliffs. Pangulasian's published excursion includes a picnic basket and bottled water; we request a private arrangement for your group and confirm the route, availability and cost.
Keep the day for swimming, reading and time together at your villa. We can arrange dining or other resort experiences around what your group enjoys, rather than filling every hour.
Ille Cave offers a land-based contrast to the beach, with prehistoric fossils and ancient artefacts in Dewil Valley. We check walking conditions and suitability for your group, and coordinate the boat and van connections for this suggested excursion.
Pangulasian's Cultural Escape offer introduces Kiminawit Village by speedboat. A guided visit gives your group time to learn about a coastal community; we confirm availability and suitability and arrange the visit at a respectful pace.
Spend your final full day at the beach and pool, with room for whatever your group has enjoyed most. We can help with a dinner reservation to finish the week together, with meals quoted separately.
Keep the morning for breakfast, check-out and your return boat and land transfers. ZOMA coordinates the connections with your flight, with private services confirmed in your quote.
