IN THE HEART OF TALACANEN ISLAND

Located in the breathtaking municipality of Taytay, Floral Island Resort sits in the heart of Talacanen Island, just a short boat ride from El Nido. The resort is surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and crystal-clear waters, making it a natural haven for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Unlike crowded tourist destinations, this private island ensures that the only footprints in the sand are yours, giving guests the rare chance to immerse themselves in Palawan’s untouched beauty.

PERSONALIZED SERVICE

At Floral Island Resort, luxury lies in the details. With a small guest capacity, the staff is able to deliver highly personalized service, anticipating needs and creating tailor-made experiences for every guest. Whether it’s arranging a private beach dinner under the stars or curating island-hopping adventures, the team ensures that every stay is as unique as the travelers themselves. This dedication to warm Filipino hospitality sets the resort apart as one of the best resorts in Palawan for intimate and memorable escapes.

DINING EXPERIENCE

Dining at Floral Island Resort is an experience in itself, blending local flavors with the day’s freshest catch from the sea. Guests can enjoy meals in a variety of stunning settings—whether on the beachfront, in the open-air restaurant, or as a private candlelit dinner under the stars. With dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, every meal highlights the rich culinary traditions of Palawan while catering to individual tastes and preferences.

ACTIVITIES

From adventure to relaxation, Floral Island Resort offers activities designed to make the most of its natural surroundings. Guests can snorkel among vibrant reefs, go kayaking along the coastline, or trek around the island to discover hidden viewpoints. For those seeking tranquility, a quiet day of beach lounging or yoga by the sea provides the perfect retreat. With so many ways to connect with nature, the resort ensures every traveler experiences Palawan at their own pace.

ISLAND RETREAT AMENITIES

Floral Island Resort combines rustic charm with modern comfort, providing amenities that make island living seamless and indulgent. Guests can enjoy spacious beachfront villas, open-air lounging areas, and exclusive access to private stretches of sand. While maintaining its eco-friendly philosophy, the resort offers everything needed for a luxurious stay, from Wi-Fi in common areas to curated excursions. It is this thoughtful blend of sustainability and sophistication that makes it one of the most memorable resorts in Palawan.

THE ACCOMMODATION

Floral Island Resort offers a stunning range of accommodations tailored for privacy, comfort, and island charm—ideal for couples, families, and small groups. Guests can choose from seven beachfront rooms and a secluded honeymoon cottage perched on a cliff, each with design touches that harmonize with the island’s natural surroundings like open-air bathrooms, tropical villas, and bamboo hut-style elements. Every dwelling is crafted to maximize views of the shoreline or lush foliage, with amenities such as private verandas, refreshing sea breezes (or air conditioning/fans depending on the unit), and high-quality service.

HONEYMOON COTTAGE

The Honeymoon Cottage is the island’s intimate cliffside retreat — built with local materials and native finishes to give a romantic, rustic-luxury feel. It’s described by guests and blog reviews as a cozy, private cottage with a queen bed, open-air elements and a veranda that looks out over the boardwalk and Taytay Bay, making it an ideal option for couples seeking seclusion and dramatic ocean views.

Expect hand-crafted timber and bamboo details, an open-feel bathroom in some reports, and easy access to the island’s cliff lookout and communal dining areas. The resort positions the Honeymoon Cottage as the most private of its accommodations, so it’s popular for proposals, anniversaries and quiet getaways.

BAMBOO COTTAGE

The Bamboo Cottage is a compact, air-conditioned bamboo villa (~31 m²) designed for couples or solo travelers. It features a queen bed, private bathroom, and a spacious shared veranda with a hammock — a simple, authentic island stay that emphasizes natural materials and breezy beachside living.

Amenities include complimentary breakfast, welcome drink and complimentary use of non-motorized water toys (kayak, paddleboard, snorkeling). The suite is an excellent option for guests who want an honest island cottage with direct beach access and comfortable modern touches.

SUPERIOR ROOM (2 Rooms Available)

The Superior Villas are a step up in space and layout, often listed with a king and an extra single bed, making them flexible for a couple who needs an added bed for a child or friend. Complete with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a balcony/veranda with sea or garden views.

They’re positioned for guests wanting more room than the bamboo suites but without moving into the larger Designer/Presidential villas — a comfortable mid-tier choice with straightforward island finishes and the same access to the resort’s activities and dining.

DELUXE ROOM (2 Rooms Available)

The Deluxe Rooms are beachfront bungalows with larger floor area and a private veranda set steps from the sand. They commonly include a king bed plus a small single, a private bathroom, and are ideal for couples who may travel with one child or want extra indoor space.

These rooms emphasize easy beach access and relaxed indoor-outdoor living — think wooden finishes, veranda seating, and straightforward island comforts paired with resort inclusions (breakfast, non-motorized water activities).

Beachfront Bedroom No. 6

Beachfront Bedroom No. 6 offers guests a serene retreat just a few steps from the shoreline. Designed in traditional Filipino style with a touch of tropical elegance, it combines simplicity and comfort in one seamless beachfront setting. The room’s open layout, wooden finishes, and airy ambiance allow guests to fully embrace the tranquility of island living.

A private veranda provides an unobstructed view of Taytay Bay, perfect for watching the sunrise or relaxing after a day of exploration. With its seamless connection to nature and the sea, this room is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic beachfront escape without sacrificing comfort and charm.

Beachfront Bedroom No. 7

Beachfront Bedroom No. 7 is a bright and inviting coastal hideaway situated directly on the sand, offering panoramic views of the turquoise bay. Its interiors are crafted from local materials, exuding warmth and natural beauty, while providing a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The spacious veranda opens directly onto the beach, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

Perfect for couples, this room embodies the essence of barefoot luxury — intimate, peaceful, and steps away from the island’s calm waters. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the veranda or a sunset stroll along the beach, this space invites you to experience the pure simplicity of island living in style.
