A new, environmentally-responsible resort complex due to open in 2027 called The Lind Coron in the popular Philippines vacation spot Palawan is being launched by Lind Hotels. It has been built in an area of 4.13 hectares of shoreline terrain and will consist of 91 exclusive room-and-villa dwellings with private pools, high-class restaurants, day spa and gym, dive center, reception area/ballroom as well as of being situated within minutes of the natural attractions on which Coron’s tourism profile is based.

The Lind Coron Targets 2027 Opening in Palawan

Travelers to Palawan in 2027 can look forward to a second Lind Hotels property, to be established with The Lind Coron expanding the group’s existing hotel operations in Boracay. For The Lind Hotels group, this development in Coron holds added importance, since the group had identified it early on as a desired destination when it had considered its expansion it picked up its first plot in Coron over 10 years ago and eventually opted for the more prominent, touristy Boracay as the initial base for The Lind brand.

The Lind Coron will have 91 rooms and villas, and its private villas will come with dipping pools while villa guests can expect the services of a Villa Host. The resort concept will focus on accommodation, dining, wellness and outdoor recreation within an all-encompassing resort, and is also looking to make the destination’s landscape and marine life the centerpiece for guests’ experience.

New Resort Will Build Around Coron’s Natural Appeal

Coron already holds a strong position within Palawan tourism, particularly for travellers seeking beaches, limestone landscapes and marine adventures.

The Philippine Department of Tourism describes Coron as a destination known for clear lakes, limestone cliffs and internationally recognised dive sites. It highlights Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, Coron Bay, coral gardens, beaches and Maquinit Hot Spring among experiences visitors can explore.

Coron Bay also offers an unusual tourism asset below the surface. The Department of Tourism specifically promotes diving and snorkelling around Second World War shipwrecks, strengthening Coron’s appeal to experienced divers and travellers seeking adventure activities.

The Lind Coron intends to connect its resort experience with these attractions rather than rely only on conventional beach holidays.

Diving and Island Adventures Will Play a Major Role

The resort plans to operate its own dive centre in partnership with an established Philippine diving operator. That addition should give guests easier access to one of Coron’s defining travel experiences. The Department of Tourism promotes the destination for diving, snorkelling, island hopping, lagoon exploration, beaches and coral gardens.

Travellers will therefore be able to combine a resort stay with days spent exploring the surrounding islands and waters. Coron’s location within Palawan adds another advantage. The Philippine government promotes Palawan for its beaches, rivers, marine environments and dramatic natural landscapes, giving the province strong international recognition as a nature-led destination.

Restaurants and Wellness Expand the Guest Experience

Food will form another major part of the Coron resort.

The Lind Coron will introduce Yím, a modern Thai restaurant. Crust will operate from the Main House beside the infinity pool and offer Mediterranean-influenced food.

Guests looking for relaxation will have access to The Spa Wellness Coron. The combination of wellness, dining and private-villa accommodation broadens the property’s market beyond adventure travellers.

Couples, leisure groups and travellers planning longer Palawan holidays could use the resort as a base while balancing active excursions with quieter days on the property.

Weddings and Events Get Dedicated Spaces

The Lind Coron will also target the meetings, weddings and private-events market with indoor and outdoor venues.

The Gallery will accommodate as many as 200 guests and provide panoramic sea views. The Cove will offer an outdoor alternative for events.

A Roof Deck at the resort’s highest point will provide 360-degree views of the sea, mountains and surrounding landscape. The venue will cater to weddings, proposals and other private occasions.

These spaces could help Coron attract travellers who want to combine destination events with tropical holidays.

What Travellers Should Know Before Visiting Coron

Travellers planning a future stay at The Lind Coron should build enough time into their itinerary to experience the wider destination rather than remain exclusively inside the resort.

The Philippine Department of Tourism recommends several signature Coron experiences:

• Kayangan Lake for clear water and limestone scenery
• Barracuda Lake for another distinctive lake experience
• Coron Bay for Second World War wreck diving and snorkelling
• Island-hopping trips for beaches and coral gardens
• Maquinit Hot Spring for relaxation after outdoor activities
• Scenic viewpoints for panoramic island landscapes

Travellers should check weather, marine conditions and local operating requirements before booking water-based activities. Those planning diving trips should also use qualified operators and choose activities appropriate for their certification and experience.

Visitors can consult the Philippine Department of Tourism Coron destination guide for official destination information.

Coron Gains Another High-End Tourism Development

The arrival of The Lind Coron is timely as Palawan continues to draw tourists by blending exotic tropical scenery and marine recreation.

There is a tourism department of the Provincial Government of Palawan that seeks to market the province and the Department of Tourism lists Coron as among the destination that would lure visitors to the Philippines.

For The Lind Hotels, this 2027 opening will signal the comeback to the place that housed the hotels’ very early venture plans. For travelers, The Lind Coron offers yet another luxurious stay set amidst the charms of private villas, sophisticated dining, pampering wellness services, exciting dives, island exploration and bespoke destination events.
