A 90-minute flight from Manila will land you on this splendid 125-acre island, where privacy and personal space abound. The island’s accommodation is purposely limited to eight villas, each of which offers uninterrupted exhilarating sea views. The villas have been designed by leading Filipino architect Jorge Yulo, to provide luxurious quarters for up to 18 guests, while respecting the unspoiled natural environment. Guest residences feature large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, open-air showers, four-poster beds, walk-in wardrobes, spacious marble bathrooms as well as private terraces and secluded pocket gardens. Family chefs prepare delicious cuisine in any of the island´s settings. Ariara has a European manager, a PADI instructor, and up to 30 staff. This breathtaking sojourn in paradise comes at a cost of around $7,000 per night, which covers the rental of the entire island for two guests.
