The Dos Palmas Island Resort & Spa, a 20 hectare private island, lies just of the coast of Palawan, near Puerto Princesa, and is so named for the towering pair of buri palm trees once found here. The resort offers guests a tropical island location with white sands and welcoming blue waters but also all the conveniences of modern day living and plenty of facilities. Accommodation comes in the form of either Bay Cottages, built on reinforced stilts above water, or Beach Villas, which are all furnished with comfort in mind. The island offers a PADI dive school, a tennis court, a games room, a rejuvenating spa, and a restaurant serving delightfully fresh cuisine.
