Come December 2020, Flower Island Resort in Taytay, Palawan will be ready to welcome back tourists.

Found in a small, private island about an hour and a half from El Nido Airport, this beach resort offers a quiet retreat for those looking to slow down.

Like many travel destinations in the country, Flower Island had to close its doors for a while. But the team has been gearing up to welcome tourists back into their island getaway, spending the past month working on new improvements including the newly renovated villas, spa, and restaurant.

Following guidelines established by the Department of Tourism (DOT), all health and safety protocols will be strictly practiced on the island to ensure the safety of their guests and staff. Travelers interested to experience a night in Flower Island will need to book a flight to El Nido via AirSwift, which requires a negative RT-PCR test taken at least three days before departure. For verification, AirSwift also requires passengers to submit proof of their hotel booking.

Flower Island is offering an all-inclusive promo for travel dates from December 2020 to January 2021. Check out their Instagram for more information, or visit flowerislandresort.com to book a reservation.
