The husband-and-wife-run Qi Palawan is a beautiful top-end option on El Nido's remote east coast. Eight stand-alone bungalows dot the lush grounds; the two-storey beachfront family villas with massive open-air bathroom stand out. It has a fully equipped kiteboarding centre (season: November to April), a dive centre, and yoga, kayaking and mountain biking on offer. A generator provides 24-hour electricity.
Transfers from El Nido (45 minutes) included.
