Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about Lihim Resort in the Philippines.
Ideally situated on the breathtaking islands of Bacuit Bay, the Lihim Resort has created an elegant fusion of resort luxury and natural charm, which celebrates nature in its purest form. This Luxury Lifestyle Awards winner in the category of 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.
Find your cozy little nook at Lihim Resort
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 also offers guests a full body massage or a session in the fully equipped fitness center.
Lihim Resort invigorates its guests with a unique luxury experience that celebrates the picturesque Filipino landscape that surrounds it, 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 Luxury of Experiences is something that unfolds itself at LIHIM.”
Jean Henri Lhuillier, Araw Hospitality’s Chief Enlightener
The Villas at Lihim Resort
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 the beautiful forest surroundings.
The luxurious villas are inspired by Filipino architecture, with floor-to-ceiling windows that either face tranquil bay waters or lush greeneries so that you can always wake up to the sights and sounds of nature.
The Presidential Villa
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 Resort Experience
The Lihim Resort 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 with international critical acclaim.
“We wanted to break away from the run-of-the-mill resort and provide an experience that is both memorable and uplifting,”
Jean Henri Lhuillier, Araw Hospitality’s Chief Enlightener
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 Award, and will continue to let nature lead us forward,”
Jean Henri Lhuillier, Araw Hospitality’s Chief Enlightener

Wow, what an absolutely beautiful resort, Julia! I would love to visit here!! This reminds me of some neighbors from my childhood. Their family originally came from the Philippines and they would go back and forth at times, but it was so neat hearing about it because we lived in a small town in Ohio. So different!
Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week, my friend! 🙂
