The Resort
Astri Olivo Resort
Nestled along the pristine shores of Palawan, Astri Olivo Resort is our handpicked base for the land portion of this journey. Eco-certified and community-owned, the resort blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings while offering every comfort you need.
We personally recommend this property and have stayed here ourselves — it embodies the spirit of responsible travel we stand behind. Overwater bungalows, farm-to-table dining, and a dedicated dive center make it the ideal home base.
