The assumptions, in the open

The yield range doesn’t come out of nowhere. These are the assumptions behind the El Nido (Palawan) figures: lofts target an 18 to 20% annual yield and duplexes 20-25%, with an estimated 50% occupancy. For reference, the San Fernando (Camarines Sur) eco-villas sit between 12 and 18%. These are estimated targets, not guaranteed returns. 2026 figures.

Island-hopping tours depart from El Nido every morning.

El Nido is the launch point for the lagoons and limestone cliffs of the Bacuit Archipelago, with its A, B, C and D island-hopping circuits leaving every morning. Demand here doesn’t hang on a single market: long-haul international travelers who’ve had it on their list for years, regional Asian tourism, and premium domestic travelers. That mix is what sustains the occupancy behind the numbers above.

The Bacuit Archipelago, right outside the loft

Beyond your loft’s door the Bacuit begins: lagoons, limestone cliffs and the island-hopping trips that set out from El Nido every morning across the A, B, C and D circuits.

Frequently asked questions about El Nido

Size and product: the Loft is 608.16 sq ft; the Duplex is 1,027.54 sq ft with a terrace and a 107.64 sq ft private pool. The numbers change too: a target yield of 18-20% annual for the Loft versus 20-25% for the Duplex, always with the same stated assumptions. The Duplex is built for longer stays and a higher nightly rate.

Yes, both terms are active and neither is “the right one”: it depends on your situation. The 36-month plan wraps up sooner and is billed in euros; the 60-month plan lowers the monthly installment ($1,688.00 for the Loft, $2,301.00 for the Duplex). On the call we run both scenarios with your own numbers and you choose with the table in front of you.

Maintenance of the complex’s shared areas: coworking, the restaurant and dining spaces, gym, gardens and shared areas. It’s a fixed monthly fee. The 30% management fee is separate and only applies to the rental income your unit generates within the tourism operation.

It comes down to the type of demand. El Nido draws long-haul international travelers with longer stays and higher nightly rates, plus regional Asian tourism and premium domestic travelers. That pushes up the estimated income per unit ($32,517 a year for the Loft at 50% occupancy) and, with it, the target range we publish.
