One of the top spots to watch the sun set behind the islands that make up the Bacuit Archipelago, Cadlao Resort is also one of El Nido’s most enticing resorts. Most of the 25 rooms offer views of El Nido Bay or the South China Sea--but, for those sunsets, consider taking them in while taking a dip in the inifinity pool. Decor is spare but elegant, with pops of color all around. If you find yourself antsy to get off property, there’s no better spot than the resort’s private beach, a 45-minute boat ride away. After? Perhaps a spa appointment before dinner at the on-site restaurant, where the catch of the day arrives wrapped in a banana leaf.

Pool With a View - El Nido, Philippines
The photograph of the infinity pool giving way to a dramatic landscape always has an allure for me. It boarders on the line of cliche because of how often the image is used in travel advertising, but they make for great photograph ops! The infinity pool at the Cadlao Resort in El Nido is reserved for guests of the hotel, but the bar and restaurant are open to the public and offer the same view of the sunset over the Bicuit Archipelago and a perfect vista of Cadlao Island which gives the resort its name.
