Bahay Artisano

A lovingly restored ancestral house turned artisan retreat on the limestone-karst shores of Palawan — every object here was made by hand.

Bahay Artisano began as a collaboration between a Filipino architect and a community of local artisans. Seven rooms, each a showcase of indigenous craft — hand-woven capiz shells, burnished hardwood, handmade ceramics. Guests wake to the smell of salt and frangipani. The surrounding Bacuit Archipelago is accessible only by bangka boat.
