Villa vacation rentals in El Nido

The Airbnb was very beautiful. It is a two bedroom three bathroom set up. We had the necessities that we needed. Very IG-able. The pool was amazing because on a hot day you can just soak in there and be cool. The design is very interesting mixing Mediterranean with classic traditional Filipino interior design, such as the bamboo bahay kubo. Smart. Lots of room in the kitchen if you want to cook your own food. There are some minor repairs here and there, but that is expected with the Philippines such as the air conditioner that was leaking on the third floor. The first floor shower also is slow on bringing up the hot water, but it is there. And the shower knob in the first floor is kind of weird because you have to pull something but I feel like there’s something missing. The staff is very responsive and very nice. There was a day where we asked the laundry to be done first thing in the morning, and they said that they would have it delivered by the end of the day, but it wasn’t.

We had the most wonderful stay! The place was always clean, the pool was beautiful. Fab location with a place to buy necessities just across the road. Ken was amazing and couldn’t say enough thank yous for the help he did. Made sure everything was clean, sorted TukTuks, really made our stay. Couldn’t recommend the villa more as a place to have a relax and recuperate whilst being able to go to restaurants and do other things like the Zipline.

Cute little house with very nice and helpful hosts!

Amazing experience, the villa is a 10 minute trike ride (which are always available) from El Nido and extremely walkable to some of the best restaurants in the area. As other reviews have mentioned, the villa is part of the boutique hotel across the street, so you have access to a front desk and all the hotel amenities you could want, so this place is the best of both worlds. 5 min walk to the beach and beach is home to many awesome restaurants and bars. The hotel was extremely accommodating, holding our luggage when we had a late flight out on check-out day. Great rooms and very comfortable stay.

We had the best time with Bahala na Villas! Service is 10/10, staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back. Feels like the Four Season’s hotel in a better budget. Definitely recommend!

Genisis is unbelievably helpful and we could not have enjoyed our stay nearly as much without him. The area is entirely walkable and peaceful, although the bugs can be quite serious! Shops nearby as well in case supplies run low.

The place is very nice and clean. I would prefer Diwatu Villas again for my next visit to El Nido. Thank you for hosting us.

The best thing about this place is the host, Justine and the staff at reception. Justine recommended a private boat trip and it was the best day of our entire holiday. Definitely recommend a private catamaran day trip island hopping. Ask the captain to take you to places without the crowds. The reception staff is always there to help with anything. I got bad food poisoning on my last day and reception brought me medicine and when that didn’t work, helped me get to a medical clinic for an IV drip. This was almost midnight and reception accompanied me there. The villas themselves are beautiful, amazing decorations and really uniquely made. We had a problem with our fridge and they moved us to villa harana, which has its own little pool. Another guest mentioned the villas are perfect but in the wrong location, and there’s a bit of truth there with construction work all around, but unfortunately that’s everywhere these days. Overall fantastic though

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Perch, the views were amazing and it was great to be up in the mountains away from the business of the town. Rooms were as described and service excellent, Kim was amazing and super helpful with all of her communication and the driver taking us up and down the hill on request made everything really easy. I highly recommend Perch if you are looking for a peaceful getaway

We came here after abandoning a different villa and we were very lucky to get for three nights whilst we stayed in El Nido. The staff were exceptionally helpful and kind, went out of their way to make it a great stay for us there and of all the places we stayed in Palawan this was a stand out - even if we didn’t book it in advance (which you should do). Good room sizes, space and the pool were private and hidden which was perfect for the hot days. Don’t think twice about this place it’s fantastic.

Staying at this private villa was such a treat! The space was beautiful, clean, and incredibly relaxing. Having our own pool made the experience feel extra special — we spent a lot of time just lounging and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The villa was well-equipped with everything we needed, and it was clear that a lot of care had gone into the details. It felt private and secluded, but still close enough to get around easily when we wanted to explore. The host was great — responsive and made us feel welcome from the start. Honestly, it was the perfect getaway. We'd love to come back again!

The place was a big positive surprise,.. everything really works well together,.. hard to capture it in words or a picture. You can see someone has put their soul into this. Other then that,.. staff, location,..10 on 10!

The most relaxing place in El Nido! We had such an amazing stay, the house is tucked away from the noise of the busy street, but so close to so many restaurants/shops/the ocean and it was amazing!! Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in El Nido with a larger group.

Our stay at this stunning villa was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a private paradise. The villa itself is absolutely breathtaking – beautifully designed, immaculately clean, and equipped with every comfort imaginable. Every detail, from the luxurious linens to the serene outdoor spaces, was thoughtfully curated to create an atmosphere of complete relaxation and indulgence. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the outstanding service we received. Jo Ann was a phenomenal host – warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless, offering wonderful recommendations and always being available when needed. Her hospitality made us feel not just welcomed, but genuinely cared for. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. This was hands down one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had, and we’re already dreaming of returning.

Words can’t say what I really want to say this location blew my expectation and more the staff was very!! Polite the location had a lot of amenities its was so peaceful and beautiful location I far pass highly recommend this location A++++++ will definitely stay here again

Mathieu is the greatest host ever. Honestly the villa felt like home and Mathieu gave us amazing recommendations that made the entire experience that much better. He had lots of things prepared at home that guided us to pick activities and restaurants. Mathieu was with us every step of the of the way. This is our first time in the Philippines and because of Mathieu we didn’t feel lost (didn’t know what to do). Amazing local guide and amazing human being. The villa is very clean and private and it was exactly what we imagined from a private villa. We will definitely be back! Thank you Mathieu!

Stateing from Rochelle was really like being at home, we felt like family! All the staff is super welcoming and kind, always available and smiling! It's like feeling in a small community, where everyone is welcomed with open arms and children can roam peacefully! The food is exceptional, the room is super clean, and they also offer laundry service (which is really comfortable after 10 days around!). The beach in front is beautiful, all to be discovered, with a beautiful barrier and blue corals! We can't forget some great things that can't be found in other places, like Italian wine and espresso! A very special thank you to Rochelle and the staff for the welcome and to Alberto for the nice evenings to chat!

This is a very special place indeed. My family had a wonderful time. During our 2 week journey through the Philippines, this private getaway was hands down our favorite. We were there for 4 days and each night/day was full of different adventures. Guy and his team are very responsive to any and all questions you may have. Definitely do the all inclusive option! Note that the journey from El Nido airport to stepping foot on the property will take closer to 1.5 to 2 hours. Make sure to eat prior or request the taxi to stop somewhere in town before getting on the boat. While the all inclusive is very helpful, they do tell you in advance that soft drinks/beers cost extra. Be mindful of this when they pack your lunches on your island hopping adventures. It would have been helpful to remind us of the extra costs as they had packed all beverages in a cooler. Finally, your all inclusive includes taxi costs so if the driver asks for more $$.. don't. We plan to return in the future!

Overall great stay & super friendly personnel!
