El Nido · Palawan
A hillside hideaway above the sea, where the only thing on the schedule is the sunset.
Rooted in Palawan
Atalaya means watchtower — a place to look out, breathe deep, and lose the noise.
Perched on a forested hillside in Lamoro, just minutes from El Nido town, Atalaya is a boutique eco-resort of thatched ocean-view villas, an infinity pool that meets the horizon, and a kitchen built around the island's own harvest. Small by design, quiet by intention — and yours to book directly.
Moments made on the water
What you do with them is the only decision you'll make.
Slip into the infinity pool as the sky turns to fire over the Bacuit islands.
Kayak the cove, chase low-tide sandbars, and let the boatmen find the quiet lagoons.
Hillside calm, slow mornings, and a healing rhythm you set yourself.
Palawan ingredients, open fire, and a table that looks straight out to sea.
Stay
Five ways to wake up over the sea.
A serene retreat with a private balcony and the first light off the water.

A wide-windowed perch built for slow mornings and longer sunsets.
Room for everyone, with the island just beyond the threshold.
The full hillside experience — private pool, sweeping deck, total seclusion.

The resort
Considered comforts, quietly delivered.
Flavours of the island
Open fire, Palawan harvest, and the catch of the morning.
Our kitchen is built around what the island gives — line-caught seafood, farm greens, and slow-grilled plates served as the sun goes down over the water.

Guest reviews
Best choice for our trip to Palawan — incredible views from our room waking up to those islands, and it may be the best food we had in El Nido. Do not leave without trying the Kalamansi Pie!
Amazing hotel! Spacious rooms with a stunning ocean view and a breathtaking sunset. The staff is amazing and the chef’s food is delicious. Would definitely recommend and come again!
The hotel was truly excellent. The property was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the view was absolutely stunning — especially at sunset.
The views are genuinely unreal, especially at sunset. The rooms are beautiful, the restaurant serves amazing food, and the staff are wonderful. We’ll 100% be coming back next time we’re in El Nido!
Loved my stay at Atalaya! From the peaceful setting and beautiful villas to the yummy food and super friendly staff — such a relaxing and memorable trip. Already missing the sunsets and slow mornings.
An incredible stay — I can’t say enough good things. The staff made the experience exceptional, and our villa had the most beautiful view and a stunning modern-rustic design. One of the best trips we’ve ever had.
