Isla Tala

A beach villa · from $9,500 a night

A private island in the Bacuit archipelago, where limestone cliffs rise out of lagoons so clear the boats seem to float on air. Eight villas on the sand and in the trees, a chef who grills the morning's catch on the beach, and a fleet of outriggers to take you into the lagoons before the day boats come.

  • Among the lagoons of El Nido
  • Eight villas on the sand
  • The lagoons before the day boats

Handled for you

  • A car at your door, and at every door after it
  • Bags collected at home and unpacked before you arrive
  • A concierge on call, day and night, until you are home
  • Every flight, seaplane and boat timed to the minute

Best time to go

December to May

December to May: dry, sunny and calm, with the clearest water from March. June to October is the rainy season.
