Riding the recent surge in leisure travel from Australia to the Philippines, a leading luxury hotel chain has developed a bespoke 7-day package that harnesses the fact the Philippines is now recognised as the No 1 geographic centre for marine biodiversity on the planet.
The Funny Lion Group, which features 3 superbly-appointed hotels located in Coron, El Nido and Puerto Princesa, has created the “The Grand Palawan Expedition”, a thrilling escapade across the province known as Palawan that takes visitors on a range of experiences from diving wondrous shipwrecks, swimming with vibrant marine life to exploring picturesque landscapes.
The Philippines is the world’s geographic centre of marine biodiversity and offers awesome experiences from the sea to land such as the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River.
All of the adventures on offer in the new package focus around the three Funny Lion hotels on Palawan – located at Coron, El Nido and Puerto Princesa– with each offering luxurious accommodation and a taste of Philippines renowned cuisine.
The 7-day expedition is the Funny Lion Group’s first major promotion in the Australian market since celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, having launched the Coron hotel in 2014 and El Nido most recently in 2022. While all three hotels offer exceptional indoor and outdoor experiences, El Nido has achieved the coveted top spot on TripAdvisor in the Philippines in terms of top spots to stay. Packages start from approx AUD550 per person (PHP 20,800).
And one of the best ways for Aussies to reach Palawan and enjoy Funny Lion’s properties is to fly with Cebu Pacific – which offers 5 flights a week from Sydney and 3 flights a week from Melbourne to the capital Manila. From there it is a short hop to airports located at Palawan. Cebu Pacific offers competitive airfares with prices 60-70% lower than other carriers.
