Tucked away on the quiet western edge of Busuanga Island in Palawan, La Estancia Busuanga Resort embodies everything that makes the Philippines one of the world’s most enchanting travel destinations. Set on a private estate surrounded by mangroves, limestone cliffs, and turquoise waters, this family-run retreat offers guests the rare chance to experience genuine island tranquillity, where nature, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality meet.

Recognised as a Travel & Hospitality Award Winner, La Estancia Busuanga was selected for its outstanding guest experience, intimate atmosphere, and dedication to sustainable, community-centred hospitality. The resort’s ethos reflects the warmth of a family home. Every detail is infused with care, authenticity, and a genuine love for the land.

A Homegrown Vision of Island Life

Originally built as a private family getaway, La Estancia Busuanga grew organically into a full-service boutique resort without ever losing its homely charm. The family behind it continues to oversee daily operations, ensuring each visitor is welcomed like an old friend. From the home-cooked Filipino meals to the thoughtful touches in every room, the resort’s character is unmistakably personal and sincere.

Its seaside villas and suites blend local craftsmanship with modern comfort. Open-air jacuzzis, sea-facing balconies, and hand-woven details create spaces that feel both luxurious and grounded. Guests can kayak through nearby mangroves, enjoy a hilltop barbecue overlooking the bay, or explore hidden islands and coral reefs, all within minutes of the resort.

An Award-Winning Commitment to Genuine Hospitality
