Cauayan Island Resort was founded in 2008 after its owners fell in love with El Nido’s landscapes and community. With no prior experience in hospitality or construction, they took a chance and built a resort focused on sustainability. Today, the island runs on solar energy, uses desalination for clean water, and implements waste reduction efforts, including plastic-free alternatives and composting. The resort also sources ingredients from its garden and supports local businesses, ensuring that its operations benefit both the environment and the surrounding community.
Visitors can enjoy a mix of relaxation and outdoor activities, from diving and snorkelling in vibrant marine ecosystems to island hopping and sunset cruises. For those seeking a slower pace, the resort offers spa treatments, scenic hikes, and quiet moments by the beach. Dining features fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a mix of Filipino and international flavours. With thoughtful service and a commitment to conservation, Cauayan Island Resort offers a comfortable escape while staying mindful of its surroundings.
