Araw Beach

Araw Beach itself, located on Culion Island, is currently a more pristine and less-developed destination, offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion and raw beauty. While the beach itself is public and often features basic local amenities and camping, the ultimate luxury lifestyle experience is secured through nearby, high-end resorts and curated expeditions within the broader Culion/Coron/El Nido area (often managed by the larger Araw Hospitality Group).

For guests seeking the highest tier of private luxury, we recommend exploring the Two-Bedroom Premium Villas or equivalent exclusive accommodation in partner resorts, such as Lihim Resorts in El Nido or similar properties in the region, which offer private plunge pools, personalized butler service, and complimentary luxury inclusions like airport transfers and spa treatments. Please inquire with your LXV Lifestyle Specialist for our hand-picked, most private residences near Araw Beach.

We prioritize a seamless, stress-free transfer experience. The journey typically begins with a commercial or private charter flight to Busuanga (Coron) Airport (USU). From there, your transfer to Culion Island and Araw Beach is often arranged via a private, air-conditioned van to the port, followed by a dedicated private speedboat or luxury yacht transfer. This option not only ensures comfort and speed but also offers exclusive viewing access to the stunning Calamianes group of islands.

LXV Note: We coordinate all legs of your journey, ensuring immediate, personalized pick-up from the tarmac to the sands of Araw Beach.

Araw Beach’s secluded location in Culion allows for truly bespoke, crowd-free experiences. Our exclusive offerings include:

We understand that privacy and impeccable service are the hallmarks of a true luxury escape, and we ensure this through a meticulously managed high staff-to-guest ratio across our preferred partner properties. For our clientele, this translates to having a dedicated team discreetly available around the clock, guaranteeing every preference is met immediately and seamlessly. On the culinary front, guests are offered complete bespoke dining customization, moving far beyond standard menus. This includes access to a private chef who curates meals based on specific dietary needs, sophisticated palates, and a desire to utilize fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, all served privately in your villa, on a secluded beach, or aboard a yacht.

For the modern luxury traveler, ethical and sustainable travel is paramount, and Araw Beach, while naturally preserved, is supported by our commitment to eco-conscious tourism through our exclusive resort partners. We prioritize properties that implement rigorous environmental standards, such as zero-plastic policies and advanced waste management systems, which are essential for maintaining Palawan’s “Last Frontier” status. Furthermore, your travel directly contributes to local conservation efforts by supporting marine protected areas and encouraging low-impact activities like guided snorkeling tours that educate guests on coral reef preservation.

By choosing LXV’s curated experiences, you are not just enjoying a private retreat but also actively investing in a responsible tourism model that economically supports local fishermen and farmers through authentic farm-to-table dining initiatives, ensuring the pristine beauty of Culion is maintained for generations.
