The Gielen Mansion is a luxury leisure establishment situated in Napsan, in the west coast of Puerto Princesa. Owned by Herwig and Theresa Gielen, the mansion serves as their family rest house but is also available to select clients.
The Gielen property in Napsan alone stretches from the last bridge from the mansion up to the lower mountains visible from the mansion patio - estimated to be more than 250,000 square metres (2008).
The Gielen Mansion is built upon a Napsan mountain side where it overlooks the South China Sean horizon culled by a small cove by the Puerto Princesa west coast. Waves in this area of the Palawan west coast favors water sports such as surfing and jet skiing. Islands are also visible from the shore and maybe accessed by boat (several islands are also Gielen properties).
The mansion is equipped with its own independent power supply. Water at the property is naturally irrigated from mountain springs. It maintains a vast garden of organically grown produce. It provides employment opportunities for indigenous people who they take in for staffing and maintenance. Fresh seafood is available daily.
The Gielen Mansion is less than 65 kilometres from the Puerto Princesa city proper and is easily accessible through land travel with an average travel time of less than an hour.
