airbnb places near Malcapuya map
The Malcapuya Island area is an ideal place for one of our overnight stays, because it roughly breaks up the El Nido < > Coron tour into quarters. But both Banana Island and Coco Beach Resort have semi-exclusive agreements with a big group tour operator, in which case sometimes it is difficult to book a room at these places well in advance, because they might not know the schedule yet and the schedule is subject to change, while Resort2 is more expensive and requires a minimum of two nights stay.

For this reason we have reached out to some Airbnb places in the area to give you some additional options and have listed our favourite ones on this page.

Places

Private & Secluded Island Retreat

Private Secluded Island Retreat top view

This first place is closest to our route and shown as P16,739 in the map at the top. You can have the whole place to yourselves (9 guests, 3 bedrooms, 7 beds, 3 baths), unfortunately it requires a minimum of 3 nights stay. They also require their own boat to take them to or from there. Meaning, for example, if your tour with us is from Coron to El Nido, they could pick you up from Coron, take you to Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoons etc along the way, the Malcapuya area islands and others around Coron during your stay there, after which we would pick you up and continue your journey with us to El Nido. If your tours is from El Nido to Coron, we’d drop you off at this secluded island retreat and they’d take over from there. We can coordinate who of us will take you to the three islands in the Malcapuya area.

The remaining options on this page are a bit out of the way, as you can see from this map (either on the outskirts of Culion Town or across the bay on Chindonan Island):
