Luxury Filipino Wellness Resorts

The 'Seda Lio' Hotel and Resort Opens in El Nido, Palawan

In these stressful times, luxury wellness resorts are opening around the world, and the Philippines provide a great example. In El Nido, Palawan, the Seda Lio hotel and resort just opened -- a three-story hotel that highlights the island's tropical vibe with views of the surrounding paradise. Several dozen miles from the white sand beach of Lio, it has a large pool, pool bar, spa villas, and spaces for kids in one package.

On the island of Palawan, pristine beaches are a hallmark, along with rainforests, lagoons, yoga pavilions, Swedish massage treatments, traditional Filipino massages, herbal baths, scuba diving, and mountain biking are common -- most of which can be found at the new resort. With wellness resorts opening around the world, the tropical hotel and resort in El Nido is just one example of a new resort that's ready for tourists looking for a bit of escapism and luxury treatment.
