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.

Starfish Island is a premier destination and has been a long-time staple in island hopping adventures in Puerto Princesa's Honda Bay. It is located 15 Minutes from the Sta. Lourdes wharf via boat. The island measures a little less than three hectares (2.6 - 2.9 Hec depending on the tide). Mangroves and palm trees dot the inner area of the island.




A number of cottages are spread across the main shore to accommodate tourists and island hoppers for shelter where they can also enjoy lunch and drink.

Diverse populations of fish and other marine life accompany the abundant presence of starfish around the island's shore.

This property is located in Brgy. Bucana, El Nido, Palawan. Location is mapped out to have roads based on the latest local government road plan. It is a short ten minute boat ride from Bacuit Bay. Natural produce is ready for picking from trees and plants growing lushly across the property.
