Calling all musicians, podcasters, and creators.

Whether you're recording vocals or crafting soundscapes, this studio is ready for magic.

Make music in the jungle

Record, write, and create in a place where the jungle becomes part of your sound. El Nido’s studio and retreat spaces offer musicians a home to reset, collaborate, and bring their vision to life.

Where music isn’t just created—it’s lived.

Wake up to howler monkeys, take breaks with macaws flying overhead, and unwind with the Pacific just minutes away.

Built by musician Matthew Westerman, our studio was designed for artists who want great sound, natural inspiration, and freedom to create on their own terms.
