The Cawyan Story

Our Journey to Cawyan

From a starlit snorkel in Bacuit Bay to a beloved private island — the milestones that shaped Cawyan.

2015

A Dream in Bacuit Bay

On a snorkelling trip through Bacuit Bay, our founders imagined a private island where quiet luxury and genuine Filipino warmth could live side by side.

2018

Finding the Perfect Island

After years of scouting Palawan’s coast, we found Cawyan — a quiet island ringed by clear water, healthy coral, and a protected marine reserve.

2021

Opening Our First Villas

Cawyan welcomed its first guests with a handful of shorefront villas, the Horizon Restaurant, and guided island-hopping across the bay.

2025

A Boutique Private Island

With thirty design-led villas, a greenhouse-to-table kitchen, and its own house reef, Cawyan grew into one of El Nido’s most loved island escapes.
