Dryft Darocotan Island

Dryft is a solar-powered eco glamping retreat on Darocotan Island (approx. 11.3683, 119.534), a private island in northern El Nido accessible via a 45-minute van ride from El Nido town to Teneguiban Pier followed by a 15-minute boat crossing. The camp operates entirely on solar power, has no Wi-Fi by design, and is exclusively for guests aged 16 and above. Accommodation options include beachfront glamping tents with fans, queen beds, and terraces; coco-fibre-roofed Hive Huts; and a sea-view Beach Bungalow with a private bathroom. A submerged shipwreck just offshore provides some of Palawan's best snorkelling, teeming with coral and fish. The Mother restaurant serves Asian fusion meals (PHP 450–700 per dish, vegan options available), and free breakfast is included daily from 07:00–09:00. Other amenities include a yoga shala, beach massages, paddleboards, free snorkel masks, water shoes, and walking trails. Shared shuttle transfers cost PHP 750 per person each way from El Nido town square.
