HEEEEERE'S HELENA!

Remember Helena? That uber chic diva who used to run that edgy 70's fashion line Azabache and shmooze with Jean Paul Gaultier? Just a few months ago, I made a post about that ambitious plan of hers to create a utopian island/resort/artist's haven on an island in the north of Palawan. Well, no surprise. She got it done and she got it done fast.

Mangueguey is now open. Two suites and two native cottages on a stunningly amazing island in Busuanga are ready and waiting for the discriminating traveller who is looking for that elusive "native chic" element missing from so many resorts in the Palawan region. The design of the resort is Vogue Decor meets Nipa Hut, it's cuisine fresh and light, and Helena's personal touch make Mangueguey truly the epitome of barefoot sophistication.

Mangueguey is really one of a kind. And that's only natural because the same can be said of Helena as well.

Quick. Make your easter holiday plans now. Make reservations at Mangueguey and check it out for yourself.

Stay tuned. I'm planning a three day weekend trip to Mangueguey to visit the former Leprosy Colony on the Island of Culion sometime in the summer.
