A 19-hectare private island off Coron, with beach weddings on a long stretch of sand.
The Setting
Club Paradise Palawan, which now trades as Discovery Coron, sits on Dimakya Island off Coron in northern Palawan. It is a 19-hectare island resort with 74 suites and villas, and a beach of around 700 metres.
What makes it different is the water. The resort is a turtle sanctuary where endangered hawksbill turtles come ashore to nest, and the house reef is home to around 550 underwater species. For couples who want an island wedding where guests are snorkelling between events, it is hard to beat.
The day itself
The resort hosts beach weddings and elopements, with the ceremony set against the Coron land and sea views. Its packages typically cover the food, cake, styling and the couple's room, and there are two wedding brochures to ask for, one of them just for intimate weddings.
Ask the team about the exact ceremony spots, where the reception is held, guest numbers, timings for the evening and how a legal ceremony works for UK couples in the Philippines.
Where your guests stay
With 74 suites and villas, a small to mid-sized wedding can stay together on the island. Ask the team about holding rooms for your guests.
Between events, guests can snorkel the house reef, hike the Eagle's Point trail for sunset, go island hopping to Dimalanta, Malpagalen and Diatoy, or join a Coron Island tour or a mangrove kayaking trip. From Busuanga Airport it is a 15 to 20 minute drive to Decalachao Port, then a boat ride of 30 to 45 minutes to the island, and every booking includes the return transfer.
Plan a sunset walk up the Eagle's Point trail with your wedding party the evening before. It is the best view over the island and a calm way to start the weekend.
