<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Often considered the crown jewels of El Nido, these lagoons are the definition of main character energy. Think turquoise water so clear it looks edited, surrounded by jagged limestone cliffs that feel like they&rsquo;re straight out of a movie.&nbsp;</span></h3>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Paddle through the Big Lagoon and you&rsquo;ll get why it&rsquo;s the star of the show: grand, breathtaking, and impossibly photogenic. Then there&rsquo;s the Small Lagoon, tucked away behind a narrow entrance.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s quieter, more intimate, and feels like your own little slice of paradise.</span></h3>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Snorkeling here is like stepping into an underwater kaleidoscope. Fish dart around vibrant corals, and the whole scene is brimming with life. The best part? No filters and overhyped edits, just raw, unfiltered beauty. If you&rsquo;re into places that make you forget your phone exists for a second, these lagoons are it.</span></h3>

Big and Small Lagoons

<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Visiting this beach is the tropical escape you didn&rsquo;t know you needed. Seven Commandos is just a quick boat ride from El Nido&rsquo;s town center, but worlds away from the hustle. Picture this: powdery white sand, swaying palm trees, and water so crystal-clear it looks like it&rsquo;s been filtered (but nope, it&rsquo;s just that good).</span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lush cottages dot the shoreline and fresh coconuts are basically on tap. It&rsquo;s the kind of place where you kick off your flip-flops, grab a hammock, and let the sound of the waves do all the talking.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The water? Perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or just floating around like you&rsquo;ve got zero responsibilities. And let&rsquo;s be real, you might start daydreaming about quitting your 9-to-5 and becoming a beach bum. No judgment here.</span></h3>

<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you&rsquo;re looking for underwater magic, Shimizu Island is where it&rsquo;s at. It's the kind of wonderland you&rsquo;ve been scrolling through on travel blogs, except it&rsquo;s real and it&rsquo;s even better in person. Just a short hop from El Nido, this tiny island is a snorkeler&rsquo;s paradise.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Go diving here and you&rsquo;ll find yourself surrounded by schools of neon fish darting around. The corals are next-level, with every shade of blue, pink, and orange you can imagine. And let&rsquo;s talk about that water, so clear you&rsquo;ll feel like you&rsquo;re floating in a giant aquarium. </span></h3>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Pro tip: bring a waterproof camera, because this is one spot where you&rsquo;ll want proof you weren&rsquo;t just dreaming. Take the plunge and let this must-visit spot in El Nido remind you why the ocean is the ultimate playground.</span></h3>

Shimizu Island

<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Snake Island, also known as Vigan Island, is where nature pulls off its coolest trick. When the tide clocks out, an S-shaped sandbar emerges. Stroll between two shades of crystal-clear water&mdash;shallow turquoise on one side, deep blue on the other&mdash;and feel like you&rsquo;re walking the world&rsquo;s most breathtaking runway.</span></h3>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">But the real flex? The viewpoint. A short hike up the island rewards you with a panoramic view of Bacuit Bay that&rsquo;ll have you questioning why you ever waste time indoors. You&rsquo;ll want to snap a pic, but let&rsquo;s be real, a fancy camera might not be able to do it justice.</span></h3>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Whether you&rsquo;re here for the Instagram-worthy shots or just to soak in the views, Snake Island delivers. It&rsquo;s equal parts serene and stunning, with a side of adventure. So slap on some sunscreen, grab your water bottle, and get ready to live your best island life. This spot is a vibe, and you&rsquo;re definitely invited.</span></h3>

<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tucked by the lush nature reserve of the wild jungle and ocean, Kip&amp;Kin El Nido is purposely built in Vanilla Beach, with The Shoppes right across.</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Being at the center of this haven comes with the gift of spaces to wander through inspiring adventures and immerse in the charming community. It is a free-spirited dream paradise closely connected to the depths of artisan, traditions, and culture.</span></h3>
