Matinloc Resort
El Nido, Palawan, The Philippines
Set between a white-sand beach and a lush hillside, Matinloc Resort in El Nido, Palawan, seems to emerge straight out of a fairytale. The Philippines has over 7,000 islands and El Nido is among the finest, known for its dramatic limestone formations, clandestine lagoons, plush coral garden, prehistoric caves and waterfalls. Set on this tropical paradise, Matinloc Resort is a divine haven for couples, boasting of premium guestrooms and upbeat suites, complete with jacuzzis and rich, tasteful décor.
Maritime adventures like scuba diving are only a part of the wide range of activities the resort offers. You can either rent a kayak or go snorkelling — or better yet, fly between islands through a zipline! We’d recommend joining the Matinloc Tour — arranged by the resort itself — where you get to island-hop and explore hidden beaches in the vicinity.

Kempinski High Tatras

Heavenly aromatherapy massages at the hotel’s Zion Spa and a heated pool bathed in the soft light of the chandeliers above serve as ideal excuses to stay indoors for a relaxed afternoon with your beau.
