Letting in Palawan
Rules and licensing
Accommodation requires DOT accreditation and a mayor’s permit. Foreigners cannot own land, only condominium units up to 40% of a building, or a long lease. Coastal easement rules restrict how close to the water anything may be built, and El Nido has enforced demolitions.
Tourist tax
Environmental fees are charged per person at El Nido and Coron, plus a terminal fee at the airports.
How the year is shaped
November to May. The habagat monsoon from June to October cuts boat tours and closes some resorts.
Who books here
Five to seven nights built around island-hopping tours, often ending in Coron. Help booking tours and reliable power for charging cameras matter more than luxury.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
