Dos Palmas Island Resort & Spa

Puerto Princesa


The only established place to spend the night in Honda Bay is here on private Arreceffi Island. Choose from wood-floored cottages perched over the water or larger, concrete beachside villas. In addition there’s a luxury spa, an infinity pool and a fully functioning dive centre. It’s a 50-minute bangka ride from Santa Lourdes pier, with four free scheduled transfers per day for guests.

Day packages are available for P1800/900 per adult/child including lunch and transfers. The resort has set up its own research centre to help monitor and protect the health of marine life in the bay.
