OUR NAME & OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our name represents our philosophy. It takes inspiration from the Sanskrit word for compassion, which causes the hearts of the good to shelter the distressed. In Buddhism, one must dwell in Karuna to achieve enlightenment.

A distinctive Philippine-Visayan phrase, ‘Karun Na’ means ‘Right Now’ and, like its English equivalent, is an optimistic rejoinder. It is an apt expression for what our name represents: live life fully, beautifully in the present moment at Karu-na – El Nido Villas Karun Na!
