Premium Sea-View Villa, El Nido's Quiet East Coast

The Premium Villas are the most private way to stay at Eastwind Beach Villas, a small off-grid retreat of eight villas in a sheltered, east-facing cove on the quiet east coast of El Nido, Palawan. There are only two, set apart from the main villa row.

THE VILLA

Each Premium Villa opens onto a covered veranda that looks out to the sea, with its own path down to the beach. It is made for slow mornings at sunrise and long afternoons with a book.

Inside is a calm, light room: off-white walls, linen curtains and an open clothes rail, with warm handmade touches in the woven rattan headboard, soft wall sconces and terracotta accents.

- One queen bed
- Sleeps up to 2 guests
- Air conditioning
- Private bathroom with hot shower, toilet and bidet
- Satellite TV and Starlink Wi-Fi
- Mini-fridge, electric kettle and in-room safe
- Desk, bathrobes, towels, linens and toiletries
- Key-card lock
- Complimentary coconut juice

The two Premium Villas share one structure and sit about 100 metres back from the shoreline, with views over the sea, the courtyard and the pool.

THE GROUNDS

Eastwind sits on about two hectares beside the sea, with only eight villas on the property. The 10 x 20 m pool (1.5 m deep) has a newly finished deck of cool, high-grip white concrete and an octagonal plunge pool beside it. The restaurant and bar on the ground floor of the main building serve breakfast, lunch and dinner from 8 AM to 8 PM. A beachside spa hut offers hilot and Swedish massage, and kayaks and paddleboards are available at reception for a fee. A guest lounge and café and a fitness room open in early 2027.

OFF-GRID, WITHOUT GIVING UP COMFORT

The resort runs on its own solar power and off-grid systems, which keeps our footprint light. Every villa is still air-conditioned, and Starlink internet keeps you connected when you need to be.

WHAT TO DO

- Snorkel the house reef just off the beach
- Kayak the small river that runs alongside the property
- Watch for fireflies after dark
- Get up for sunrise over the water; this coast faces it directly

THE LOCATION

Eastwind is in Sitio Guinling, Barangay San Fernando, on the side of El Nido most visitors never see. San Fernando port, where multi-day island expeditions between El Nido and Coron begin and end, is under 2 km away; after several days at sea, a Premium Villa is a comfortable place to land. El Nido town, with its island-hopping tours, restaurants and nightlife, is about 30 minutes away by road.
