About

Nici Island is a small, forested island ringed by living coral reef, close to Coron in Palawan, the Philippines. It is rented as a whole: when you stay, there are no other guests on the island, only you and the people you came with.

What it is

A simple, off-grid house with three bedrooms (one king, two twin) that sleeps up to six. There is no mains electricity, no running water, no air-conditioning, no wifi and no daily housekeeping. Drinkable water is brought from the mainland, an emergency generator is available if needed, and food can be arranged in advance and cooked on site.

Who looks after it

The island has a new owner who is working on repairs and basic amenities over time. The aim is to keep the quiet, rough-around-the-edges character of the place while making it comfortable enough to enjoy: reef snorkelling at the door, jungle on the hill and some of the best stargazing you will find.

Who it suits

Small groups, couples, families and friends who are happy with a basic setup in exchange for privacy and nature. If you need electricity, air-conditioning or a restaurant on site, this is probably not the right place.

Booking directly

Bookings are handled directly with the owner by email at [email protected]. We can also arrange the transfer from Coron town and a boat crew for the length of your stay. See the contact page for details.
