A new — and luxurious — addition to Culion's charm

Palawan, renowned for having some of the world's finest beaches, stands out not only within the Philippines but globally. Coron, Puerto Princesa, and El Nido consistently dominate the list of must-visit destinations in the province. While all Palawan's 23 municipalities, including 13 mainland and 10 island towns, offer worthwhile experiences, the often-overlooked Culion Island stands out as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered and explored this 2024.

When one mentions Culion, the first association often centers around its history with leprosy. It gained prominence as the site of a leper colony established in 1906 during the era of American colonial rule and continued its operation until the 1980s when effective treatments became available.
