CORON, Palawan — The Lind Hotels is set to open The Lind Coron in 2027, marking the homegrown Filipino hospitality brand’s expansion into Palawan and a return to the destination where its story first began.
More than a decade ago, Coron was the company’s first property acquisition and the place where the idea for The Lind Hotels began to take shape. The company later chose Boracay, then a more established tourism destination, to introduce the brand before returning to its original plans for Coron.
The decision gave The Lind Hotels a strong foundation for growth. Over the past decade, The Lind Boracay has become an internationally recognized hotel, earning several accolades and becoming the first hotel in Boracay to be included in the MICHELIN Guide. The opening of The Lind Coron now brings the brand back to where its journey started.
“We have always believed in pioneering rather than following,” said Pierre Henrichs, chief operating officer of The Lind Hotels. “Coron offers a rare combination of natural beauty and untapped potential. Our goal is not only to be part of its growth, but to help shape its future by bringing a new standard of hospitality to the destination.”
Surrounded by limestone formations, clear turquoise waters, hidden lagoons, and rich marine life, The Lind Coron will give guests the freedom to experience the destination at their own pace, whether exploring the islands or spending a quiet day at the resort.
The resort will feature 91 rooms and villas designed for privacy, comfort, and time together. Private villas will have their own dipping pools for slow afternoons, along with a dedicated Villa Host providing thoughtful, personalized service throughout the stay.
The Lind Coron will also be a culinary destination, with Yím, its signature modern Thai restaurant, and Crust, set at the heart of the Main House by the infinity pool. With sweeping sea views and a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, Crust will be a natural gathering place throughout the day, serving Mediterranean flavors alongside a selection of locally crafted beverages.
For time away from the day’s adventures, The Lind Coron brings the Philippines’ premier name in relaxation to Palawan with the opening of The Spa Wellness Coron. As the country’s first spa brand to earn Superbrand status, it offers guests a serene retreat to recharge through award-winning holistic care in one of the nation’s most breathtaking destinations.
The resort will also have its own dive center, operated by one of the Philippines’ diving pioneers, with experience working with some of the country’s leading hospitality brands. Guests can spend their days island-hopping, discovering hidden lagoons or diving among vibrant reefs. World War II shipwrecks just in front of the property bring one of Coron’s most distinctive underwater experiences within easy reach.
Indoor and outdoor spaces will make the most of the natural surroundings for celebrations, events and meetings. The Gallery, an indoor venue for up to 200 guests, will offer panoramic sea views, while The Cove brings gatherings outdoors. At the resort’s highest point, the Roof Deck opens to 360-degree views of the sea, mountains and lush greenery, creating a memorable setting for wedding ceremonies, proposals and special occasions.
“We aim to create a resort that belongs in its setting rather than competes with it,” added Henrichs. “We want guests to experience the beauty, authenticity and adventure of Coron while enjoying the hospitality and service they have come to associate with The Lind Hotels.”
For The Lind Hotels, the opening of The Lind Coron brings a vision more than a decade in the making full circle. Coron was where the idea for the brand first took shape, and in 2027, it will finally become home to The Lind, continuing its journey of Crafting Experiences, Creating Memories in a destination that has always been part of its story.
