Cauayan Boutique Private Island - formerly Cauayan Island Resort

Twelve villas occupy the whole of Cauayan Island, a private coral-fringed outcrop in Bacuit Bay roughly 20 minutes by boat from El Nido town. The resort controls the entire island — no day visitors, no shared beaches.

Bacuit Bay's limestone karst towers frame every water-facing terrace; the house reef sits directly below the overwater structures. Staff-to-guest ratios run high enough that meals are served at guests' chosen hour rather than fixed sittings.

El Nido's island-hopping routes pass within sight of Cauayan, placing Miniloc Island and the Small Lagoon under thirty minutes away by bangka. The resort coordinates private transfers from El Nido airstrip.
