Dining at Atalaya is a journey into flavor and place. An invitation to slow down, savor, and connect with the natural rhythm of the island.

From a sunrise breakfast with panoramic views of Cadlao Island and El Nido Bay to a three-course signature dinner under the stars, every meal is designed to complement the resort's sense of calm and understated luxury.

The experience continues at our bar, where handcrafted cocktails highlight tropical botanicals, local spirits, and island fruits which are best enjoyed at sunset as the sky turns gold over the bay.

Eco Food Project

Cultivating Flavor.
Growing Identity.

Just 12 minutes from Atalaya, in New Ibajay, we've started our own farm, the beginning of a long-term vision to connect our kitchen more closely to Palawan. There, we are growing specialty herbs, seasonal fruits, vegetables, and farm-fresh eggs.

As the project grows, it lets our culinary team experiment with new flavors and bring more seasonality to the table. Alongside produce from trusted local farmers and seafood from Bacuit Bay, it's steadily shaping the way we cook.

Atalaya blends the natural abundance of Palawan with different cuisines around the world.
