WHAT MAKES ARIARA PRIVATE ISLAND SPECIAL?
ABOUT ARIARA PRIVATE ISLAND
Ariara is an exclusive, fully-staffed private island retreat in the Linapacan archipelago of Palawan, Philippines. Stretching across 125 acres, it accommodates 2–20 guests in luxurious beachfront villas, cottages, and jungle suites. Designed with environmental sensitivity by Filipino architect Jorge Yulo, the resort offers exceptional privacy and panoramic views across coral reefs and uninhabited islets.
PRIME LOCATION IN EL NIDO
Nestled in Linapacan—between Coron and the Palawan mainland—Ariara is surrounded by some of the Philippines’ most idyllic landscapes. Its prime positioning grants easy access to the shimmering waters, hidden lagoons, limestone cliffs, and emerald bays of Coron and El Nido, while still offering a tranquil, off-the-beaten-track haven.
PERSONALIZED SERVICE
Ariara offers truly personalized hospitality with a dedicated team of around 30 staff—including a European manager, private chefs, activity coordinators, security detail, PADI dive instructors, and butlers—ensuring an elevated, seamless stay for guests.
DINING EXPERIENCE
Meals are a focal point of the Ariara experience. Guests enjoy bespoke, full-board dining crafted to their tastes by resident chef Jonnal Sotto, using locally sourced ingredients—from freshly caught fish to produce from the island. Dining settings vary from candlelit beach dinners under the stars to intimate villa tables.
SIGNATURE TOURS BY BANWA
Ariara offers immersive water-centric adventures: scuba diving with PADI instructors to spectacular reefs and shipwrecks, snorkeling in private coral gardens, island hopping aboard crewed yachts to secluded coves, exploring Coron’s limestone lakes and lagoons, or enjoying jet-skiing, windsurfing, kayaking, and other watersports.
AMENITIES
Guests can unwind at the infinity pool overlooking the beach, stroll along the lengthy pier into the reef, or gather in The Lodge’s elegant central hub with vaulted ceilings, marble floors, vast dining hall, cinema lounge, and panoramic views.
