Discovering Darocotan Island
Located just off the northeastern coast of El Nido, Darocotan Island is a secluded tropical paradise surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and lush coconut palms. It’s one of North Palawan’s most captivating islands, offering a unique and serene atmosphere perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in nature’s quiet beauty.
With water temperatures averaging 28°C to 30°C, Darocotan’s calm lagoons invite guests to immerse in its natural pools and coral gardens. While the island can get visits from day tours, LXV carefully times private visits—before or after the usual crowds—offering an exclusive and tranquil escape few ever experience.
Though LXV typically curates off-the-beaten-path destinations, Darocotan Island’s beauty and allure make it an essential part of our luxury yacht charters and bespoke Palawan island expeditions. For our most distinguished guests, LXV can arrange private island experiences, complete with fine dining setups, beach loungers, and staff service for the perfect luxury retreat.
