Lio Beach

El Nido


The wealthy Ayala conglomerate, in conjunction with Ten Knots Travel, are developing this wide white-sand beach 7km north of El Nido proper into a swanky world-class resort area. For now it remains almost empty save for a few early-adopting restaurants and half-built hotels, so finding your own private patch of sand shouldn't be a problem.
