Secret Paradise Resort & Turtle Sanctuary

Tucked on Palawan’s west coast in San Vicente, this beachfront resort sits across two private coves with four white‑sand beaches and its own waterfalls. It’s about 25 minutes from San Vicente Airport and conveniently placed between the town and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River. Fronting a protected 28‑hectare turtle and marine sanctuary with two coral reefs, the property is known for its secluded vibe and award-winning resort status.

Rooms are small-batch and simple‑luxury: eight air‑conditioned suites with private furnished balconies or patios, refrigerators and mini‑bars (some stocked with complimentary items). Bathrooms feature showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. The grounds are coconut‑lined and backed by virgin tropical forest, so expect sea‑breeze mornings, sunset views to the west and an intimate, nature-first décor.

Relax with spa treatments, a massage room and a sauna, then stroll to private beaches and explore the on‑site turtle and marine sanctuary and coral reefs. On‑property extras include a beachfront bar and restaurant, picnic and barbecue areas, a tours desk for island excursions, ferry shuttle service and airport transfers. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, concierge service, daily housekeeping and laundry/dry‑cleaning keep stays effortless.

The resort offers a 700 sq ft (65 m²) event space for intimate meetings, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout, express check‑in/out, luggage storage and a ferry terminal shuttle. Dry cleaning and laundry services are available for longer stays.

Dine beachfront at the resort restaurant and unwind at the bar/lounge. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily and limited‑hour room service is available for relaxed, in‑room mornings.
