Club Paradise Island Resort

Sam and DJ will be hosting their wedding at Club Paradise in Coron on May 5 2025. Club Paradise is a gorgeous luxury resort situated in one of the most beautiful areas of the Philippines, Palawan. The venue is located on a private island with a stunning beachfront.

Since the wedding is being held on a private island, all wedding guests are required to stay at least 2 nights, from May 4-6. Round-trip transport from/to the airport is already included with your accommodation booking at Club Paradise, which includes a van transfer from the airport to the dock, then boat transfer. Daily breakfast is also included with your stay and access to the resort’s facilities. If you’d like to stay more than 2 nights please inform us when you submit your RSVP. Want to see what the rooms are like - check out this link on Club Paradise’s website. Subject to availability, we will liaise with the resort on your behalf to request the additional nights. Once you complete the RSVP Form and inform us of your preferences we will be in contact with you via email to arrange payment directly with the venue at a later date.

Club Paradise is a true gem that offers an unparalleled tropical escape. Nestled on a private island, this luxury resort boasts stunning panoramic views of turquoise waters and lush landscapes. Guests are treated to exquisite amenities, including well-appointed villas, a pristine white-sand beach, and an array of recreational activities such as diving, snorkeling, and kayaking in the vibrant coral reefs. The resort's commitment to sustainability and conservation efforts enhances its appeal, allowing visitors to enjoy the natural beauty responsibly. Exceptional dining experiences featuring fresh, local ingredients and the warm, attentive service further elevate the stay, making Club Paradise a perfect haven for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in a paradise-like setting.

 

Transport and Accommodation

If you’re travelling from overseas, it is likely you will first fly into Manila (Ninoy Aquino International Airport). Manila is the largest city in the Philippines and the main hub of the country. From there you will need to book a flight from Manila to Coron. If your itinerary allows, we suggest staying in a hotel for 1 or 2 nights near the airport in Manila to recover from an international flight before heading to Coron. This allows for time to catch up on rest and provide some space between your international flight and connecting flight onwards to Coron.

  • Philippine Airlines is our recommended airline for non-stop direct flights from Australia to Manila. Philippine Airlines offers in-flight entertainment, meals and beverages.

  • Cebu Pacific is the budget flight option from Melbourne to Manila, which also offers non-stop flights to the Philippines. Be prepared to pack your own food though (or pre-purchase for the flight) and bring your own entertainment!

  • There are other airlines that offer flights into the Philippines but will require airport transfers via other cities.

Getting to Coron

The night before the wedding on the 4th of May, Sam and DJ will be hosting a Welcome Dinner at Club Paradise. So at the vary latest, we recommend arriving in Coron in the first half of the day on May 4. This will allow you time to be transported to Club Paradise in time for checking in at the resort and attending the dinner. Kindly note domestic flights can at times be delayed in the Philippines, so plan accordingly. But if your itinerary allows, arriving days earlier in Coron will give you a chance to ease into the island life of Palawan before Sam and DJ’s big day.

  • Both Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines offer direct flights to Coron from Manila and Cebu.

  • If you are staying in El Nido before or after the wedding, you may be able to book direct flight/s via Air Swift.

What to do in Coron

One of the most unique and memorable things about visiting Coron is touring the beautiful islands and lagoons and swimming in the pristine waters:

  • Island Hopping Boat Tours: Visit iconic spots like Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, and Siete Pecados.

  • Beach Relaxation: Enjoy the pristine white-sand beaches such as Malcapuya Island and Banul Beach.

  • Hiking: Trek up Mount Tapyas for panoramic views of Coron town and the surrounding islands.

  • Diving and Snorkeling: Explore vibrant coral reefs and historic World War II shipwrecks.

  • Hot Springs: Soak in the therapeutic waters of Maquinit Hot Springs, one of the few saltwater hot springs in the world.
