El Nido Resorts' Lagen Island Resort is a tropical hideaway set in a cove and fringed by a thick primary forest. The most luxurious resort in the area, Lagen has been awarded numerous awards and in 2006 made it to the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler Green List 2006, chosen for their environmental preservation efforts, involvement with local communities and the quality of guest experience.

Located in the eastern side of Bacuit Bay, Lagen Island has a land area of 310 hectares and is considered as the fourth biggest island within the El Nido Protected Area, distinctive for its dramatic karst limestone islets that litter the coast of Northern Palawan here.

Lagen is a local Cuyunin word for “stone stove" and the island was named as such because, to the locals, its shape resembles a primitive stove with funnels.

Lagen Island Resort is set on one of the coves in the island, offering the best view of the bay and the sunset. It is a 40 minute scenic boat ride from the private El Nido Airport.
