The simple life is waiting. Situated in the Sulu Sea in Palawan, this private tropical island – just two hectares but with an expansive white-sand beach – is a secluded paradise.
The main house at Brother Island sleeps up to 10 guest and is rustic but comfortable, and the staff members, including a cook who prepares traditional Filipino meals, ensure no guest wants for anything. Chill in hammocks, snorkel on a nearby shipwreck or take an island-hopping excursion.
One of the island’s greatest features, though, is its night sky. With no TV to offer distraction, you may find grabbing a beer and staring into the dark quickly becomes part of your nightly ritual.
Getting to Brother Island from El Nido is made easy with a 2 hour boat transfer included in your package stay. Contact Alee to arrange your transfer or alternative option by air.
About US$440 night for two people (two-night minimum), plus US$56 for every extra person.
