Meet your hosts
A house is only ever as warm as the people in it
La Petite Pension is a family effort. Two of us are often the first faces you'll meet — each with something they genuinely love sharing with guests.
Host · long-time Palawan resident
Olivier
After years of travelling, Olivier settled in Palawan and never really left. He enjoys sitting down with a coffee and helping guests shape their journey across the island — quietly, and without any hard sell.
Host · Wellness by Emelyn
Emelyn
Born and raised in Palawan, Emelyn looks after the everyday warmth of the house — and welcomes clients to her small wellness studio for a quiet moment of care.
And behind them, the rest of the family — quietly making sure everyone feels at home.
