While Coron is famous for its crystal-clear lakes and island-hopping adventures, Maquinit Hot Springs offers a completely different experience. Located a short drive from Coron Town, this natural attraction is one of the few saltwater hot springs in the Philippines and has become a favorite evening destination for both visitors and locals.
Many travelers choose to visit after returning from island tours. The warm mineral-rich water provides a relaxing environment where tired muscles can recover after a day spent swimming, kayaking, hiking, or exploring Coron’s natural attractions.
The best time to visit is typically in the late afternoon or early evening. As temperatures cool and daylight begins to fade, the contrast between the warm water and the surrounding tropical air becomes especially enjoyable. The nearby mangrove forest and coastal setting add to the peaceful atmosphere.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a towel, drinking water, and comfortable footwear. Staying hydrated is important when spending time in warm pools, particularly after a full day outdoors.
Because Maquinit is a natural attraction, travelers should help keep the area clean by disposing of waste properly and respecting facility guidelines. Responsible tourism helps preserve the springs and surrounding environment for future visitors.
Whether you're looking to unwind after an active day or simply enjoy a quieter side of Coron, an evening visit to Maquinit Hot Springs provides a relaxing and memorable way to experience another facet of Palawan’s natural beauty.
