Palawan is a tropical paradise that consistently beckons even the most discerning of travelers. The province and its 1780 islands and islets, regularly appear in prestigious rankings for global best lists, most recent of which is Travel + Leisure’s Top 25 Islands in the World published just this September.
With immaculate stretches of white powdery sand and aquamarine waters, lush forests and limestone formations, as well as eye-catching exotic creatures above and below sea level, our very own heaven on earth is a bucket-list destination for locals and tourists alike. Whether you prefer rustic charms or cosmopolitan vibes, the Philippines’ last ecological frontier is a fitting stage for life’s precious moments—your special day included.
Setting your sights on tying the knot in paradise? Here are nine exquisite intimate wedding venues in Palawan to get you started:
1. ANGKLA Beach Club & Boutique Resort
Angkla is the ideal beach escape for globetrotting queens looking for a place to unwind. Both Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa were recently spotted here spending quality time with their beaus. This boutique resort successfully balances contemporary design with native elements, seamlessly easing modern delights, such as a gorgeous infinity pool, with the natural landscape. Ask them to tailor-make a package for your intimate wedding, and your affair to remember will certainly dazzle with the same sophisticated yet laidback appeal.
