2. The price decreases if you stay several nights.

Our stay
We had the opportunity to spend a very pleasant night here. What we liked best: the cocooning fireplace opposite the bed, the infrared sauna in the bathroom, the discreet location and the optional chef-prepared dishes.
El Nido Malaika (which means Angel's Nest in Filipino) was conceived and created by Erwin and his wife. He is an entrepreneur, she is the director of a dance school. They have a passion for travel, particularly the Seychelles, the Philippines and Martinique.
