Ideally situated on the breathtaking islands of Bacuit Bay, the Lihim Resorts has created an elegant fusion of resort luxury and natural charm, which celebrates nature in its purest form. This Luxury Lifestyle Awards winner for Best Luxury Beach Resort in El Nido, Philippines offers daily yoga sessions in the most serene environments, or personally curated leisurely walks through the countryside.   

Traditionally built, wooden huts provide peaceful reading areas for guests, or can be utilized for intimate events or business meetings. Thatched ceilings and wooden finishes complete the natural aesthetic of this one-of-a-kind retreat. Tucked away in the forests of Calaan, this modern-day escape offers its guests a full body massage or a session in the fully equipped fitness center.   

Lihim Resorts invigorates its guests with a unique luxury experience that celebrates the picturesque Filipino landscape that surrounds it. In the words of Jean Henri Lhuillier, Araw Hospitality’s Chief Enlightener “The Luxury of Experiences is something that unfolds itself at LIHIM.”, Which reflects the evolutionary nature of this natural retreat, where the growth of the trees and the climatic shifts become one with the guests, in a concert of togetherness with the flora rich habitat.   

The 17 villas each offer unparalleled views of El Nido’s storied vista and are equipped with air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV, private bathrooms, and unmatched views of its beautiful forest surroundings. The Presidential Villa is an expansive 146m2 private sanctuary, nestled in forest foliage, with a view of the ocean as clear as its waters. Guests can enjoy a plunge pool or refresh in the private outdoor shower, before contemplating the beauty of the South East Asian landscape from a wrap-around balcony.  

The Lihim Resorts experience is as invigorating and rejuvenating to its guests as it is educational, with a wide array of enriching activities like whole food cooking sessions, curated hikes, and stillness meditations. This revolutionary concept of living and learning in nature is what has garnered this gorgeous resort’s international critical acclaim.   

“We wanted to break away from the run-off-the-mill resort and provide an experience that is both memorable and uplifting,” states Lhuillier. Integrating wellness, sustainability, and community at Lihim Resorts results in a transcendent experience for its guests, and the message is carried and shared long after this incredible resort experience is had. We are delighted to receive this Luxury Lifestyle Awards, and will continue to let nature lead us forward”, says Jean Henri Lhuillier.
