Our story

Barefoot comfort on Corong-Corong beach

Blue Lagoon Lodge is a small beachfront property run by a local family of boatmen and cooks. Our cottages sit right on Corong-Corong beach, ten minutes from El Nido town. We arrange island-hopping tours with our own bangkas, and our beach bar serves fresh catch every evening. No pool — the lagoon is better.

  • Right on the sand
  • Family-run since 2012
  • Our own boats and crew
  • 10 minutes from El Nido town
