Vacation rentals in West Nalaut Island

If you want to get authentic Filipino farm experience, this is the place, what an absolute gem. Filipino hospitality at its finest.

Janette and Simon were unbelievably great hosts! This place is definitely for the “traveler” and not the “vacationer” - if you’re looking for authentic culture and adventure, this is a wonderful place to stay! The island of Culion is very small, and we were the only visitors on the island at the time! We rented out their entire upstairs, while they live downstairs. With the shared living area, they do an amazing job of being available, but giving you privacy as well. In just the two short days we were there, Janette made us four amazing meals and catered to some of us being vegetarian. By far the best food we ate in the Philippines! She’s unreal! And Simon took our newly scuba certified family on four dives. He was very willing to go slowly as we aren’t very experienced and took us to four beautiful reef spots where we saw some breathtaking marine life and views. They arranged a private tour four us to go into the village and swim in the gorgeous waterfalls. Highly recommend!!

Jonathan and April were outstanding hosts. Everything was immaculately clean and even better than the pictures portrayed. The tours they offered were an absolute highlight of our stay. The attention to detail throughout the property was impressive, and their hospitality made us feel immediately at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Also the scooter was in perfect condition and really helpful. Thank you, Jonathan and April, for allowing us to be your guests. We're grateful for the memorable experience and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both a beautiful stay and wonderful hosts.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is a beautiful property with great people and amazing views! The Villas are a real paradise! The only downside is that you will eventually have to leave. We felt extremely welcome by Jen, Peter and the staff. I have to say that my family and I haven’t been treated better at a resort or Airbnb. We were picked up at the airport with a van. The airport is 30 min away. Coron town is 30 min away as well. Jen will arrange for boat island hoping, diving, snorkeling, fishing or land adventures. Even if the villas are not in town you still have full access to all the tourist things you want to do if you choose to. When we arrived the first word that came to mind was “magical”! There is a restaurant and a bar between the two villas with menu you can order from. We wanted to try Phllippinian cuisine and asked them to just cook what is fresh on the market that day and to be part of the local food. Every day was different and delicious! We had lunch packed for our day and boat trips. Amazing

Beauty and isolation. I wanted to escape with an element of remoteness, to spend days swimming and relaxing in nature. This surpassed my predictions. Catered breakfast at sunrise and sunset. Days spent exploring the reef, snorkelling and skin diving, or kayaking around the nearby islands. There are fins and snorkels to borrow, if needed, and rechargeable lights for night snorkelling. Napping and reading, followed by more snorkelling. The rustic cabin was not lacking. The fans kept me cool. My cabin was on the hill in the trees, cooler than the lower ones. The internet connection was fast and reliable, though I wasn't making any video calls. Had a day trip to Black Island, David's favourite, and can't recommend enough. I swam with thousands of fish. I went snorkelling and diving with David at night, seeing multiple seahorses. David shared favourite spots to explore and, with Genny, helped planning my stay. Gennya was a ray of sunshine, ensuring that everything was exceeding expectation

Raymond is very helpful and a first class chef. The food was amazing every day (both breakfast and dinner)! All the staff are super friendly and professional. Thank you 🙏 The views and surroundings are completely breathtaking and completely unique. Raymond also assisted with arranging boat tours. The tours (not connected to the AirBnb) we took were awesome. We have never seen beaches and corals like it anywhere. Be prepared to pay 200-300 pesos extra per person environmental fee at nearly every stop.

This was by far the best place that we’ve stayed during our trip in the Philippines!! Sharee did the absolute best to make us feel welcome, getting to know the other locals. The most special was the dugong excursion she organized and went on with is!! One of the best experiences of my life! The house itself is absolutely beautiful and the view is amazing! Absolutely recommend staying here and we will definitely come back!

Buenavista Lodge is the perfect place to stay when visiting Culion. Its central location in the heart of the town makes everything easily accessible, and the breathtaking ocean view is a definite highlight. The owner Rachel and caretakers (Butch and Edlyn) go above and beyond to ensure guests’ needs are met, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay!
