Daluyon Beach & Mountain Resort
Khlaire and Leo will be hosting their wedding in Sabang, Palawan on May 10, 2020. The ceremony will be held at the local Sanctuary de San Jose Marello church, while the reception will be held 5 minutes down the beach at the Daluyon Beach & Mountain Resort. Daluyon is a gorgeous resort situated in one of the most beautiful areas of the Philippines. The venue is located on a stunning beachfront tucked away down the private end of Sabang beach.
For your own comfort and enjoyment, it is recommended that wedding guests stay at least 1-2 night’s minimum in the Sabang area. Regardless of whether your accommodation is booked at Daluyon, the Sheridan (nearby resort), or another, we recommend arriving in Sabang on or before the 9th of May. This will allow you to rest appropriately and wake up prepared to attend the wedding on the 10th with full energy. If you would like assistance with transportation to/from Sabang please let us know on the wedding guest booking form.
If you will be attending the wedding and have not yet booked your accommodation in Sabang, then click here to read more about our local suggestions which you can book on your own. Kindly note we are not responsible for your experience at any of the resorts or accommodation options we’ve recommended, these are just our suggestions with what is available in the area according to different types of budgets.
Flights
If coming to the Philippines from overseas, we recommend first that you fly into Manila (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) or Cebu (Mactan Cebu International Airport). Next you will need to book a flight from Manila/Cebu to Puerto Princesa on either Cebu Pacific Airlines, Philippine Airlines, Air Asia, or Air Swift (unfortunately we do not recommend Air Juan at this time). We suggest booking an arrival to Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, no later than the 9th of May. The wedding will be on the 10th, and for your own enjoyment we recommend trying to arrive in Palawan before this day.
If travelling internationally close to the wedding day, we recommend staying in a hotel for at least 1 or 2 nights near the airport in Manila/Cebu to recover from a long flight before heading onward to Palawan. Domestic flights in the Philippines can at times be delayed, so please plan accordingly.
If you decide to stay in Manila or Cebu for 1 night or more before your domestic flight we recommend booking an airport pickup and return through your hotel for peace of mind.
Local Transport
Transport to Daluyon from the main city of Puerto Princesa takes approximately 2 hours by van each way. We are able to assist you in booking your return van transport from Puerto Princesa. If you would like assistance with arranging your transport, kindly indicate on the wedding guest details form. In order to make this as smooth and efficient, we will ask that you either inform us of your travel plans when completing the booking form or follow up with us once those details have been confirmed.
Even if you are planning to travel elsewhere in Palawan or the Philippines prior to or after the wedding, we suggest arriving in Sabang on the 9th of May at the very latest (since the wedding is May 10th). If you feel it’s more convenient for your circumstances to arrange your own transport to Sabang (for example, you can catch direct van transfers via private van to Sabang from El Nido), that is fine but we kindly ask if you could still confirm this with us of this through the booking form so we and the couple are aware.
After completing the booking form you will have our email contact.
Sample Travel Itineraries
If coming from overseas or other islands, below we’ve outlined three travel itineraries to give a rough idea of how wedding guests could plan a Philippines holiday while attending the wedding. We understand that guests attending the wedding could be coming from different places, have different timelines, preferences, as well as budgets. So if you’re not sure where to start in planning, read our suggestions below for your consideration. Please keep in mind these are merely recommendations, and of course any of these plans can be altered to suit your preferences or circumstance.
