From September 2025, upgrade works begin at Naga airport, a piece of infrastructure central to the Philippines’ internal connectivity. The impact goes beyond transport: it lifts quality of life and value in nearby areas like San Fernando, in Camarines Sur, and El Nido, where Land of Nomads develops eco-villas for people after both a life and rental income in the country.
Here we look at why the Naga airport overhaul is a strategic opening for anyone eyeing Philippine real estate.
Infrastructure central to the region’s future
Naga airport, in Camarines Sur, has long been an essential node for domestic travel in Luzon. The works are set to extend the runway, modernise terminals, tighten operational safety and add capacity for more frequent, longer-range flights. That eases access for tourists and professionals, and improves logistics for anyone who sees the Philippines as a rising market.
San Fernando and El Nido: better links, more value
One of the big effects of the overhaul is strengthening the central Luzon corridor and its link with Palawan and other key islands. That hits two areas where we work directly:
- San Fernando, in Camarines Sur: calm living, beaches nearby and a growing international community are making it a favourite among digital nomads and people after sustainability. Shorter transfers from Manila or Naga raise the strategic value of the eco-villas Land of Nomads builds here.
- El Nido, in Palawan: known worldwide for its nature, it will draw even more quality tourism with more efficient flights. The Land of Nomads eco-villas in El Nido, built for self-sufficiency and wellbeing, gain market value as the destination becomes easier to reach.
Quality of life and a long horizon
For anyone looking to settle, the airport upgrade is not just a technical project, it is a real improvement to daily life. Better air links mean:
- Less geographic isolation.
- More access to medical, educational and commercial services.
- A rise in the value of land and nearby homes.
- A boost to local economies and sustainable development.
All of it makes the Philippines, and San Fernando and El Nido in particular, a more appealing choice to live and to build long-term projects.
An opening for those who look ahead
The Naga airport works are part of a national strategy to decentralise development and activate regions with potential. Stepping into well-located eco-villas aligned with new ways of living is a smart way to get ahead of the country’s growth.
Land of Nomads offers projects with added value for people after more than a home: community, sustainability and quality of life. If you are exploring the Philippines, book a call and we will walk you through the areas in full transformation.
