Banwa Private Island PALAWAN, THE PHILIPPINES
Nestled in one the world’s last frontiers of biodiversity, north-eastern Palawan in the Philippines, Banwa Private Island boasts breath- taking views, verdant landscapes, pristine beaches and turquoise waters. The hideaway gem’s sought-after exclusivity is enhanced by the marine protected area it sits within, supporting its thriving ecosystem. Choose to stay in any of the contemporary-
designed villas delicately laid out within steps to the unspoilt shores or decide on an exclusive charter island with family and friends, for that holiday escape unlike any other. From intimate gatherings, milestone celebrations, to family holidays, let the luxurious all-villa destination define endless possibilities of solitude, tranquillity and adventure. Beachfront villas have been designed to
immerse guests in the beauty of the island. Floor to ceiling windows bring the outside in, while the beach and garden terraces create pure luxury of space. The infinity pool in each villa appears to melt into the uninterrupted ocean panorama.
Extraordinary ‘destination dining’ moments
can be enjoyed in various scenic locations featuring dishes made using freshly grown ingredients from the organic farm. The cuisine takes a particular inspiration from the Mediterranean region. Go underwater and be captivated by rich
marine life and radiant coral reefs, be in sync with nature while kayaking and paddleboarding, or Hobie sailing in the seemingly endless stretch of the sea. Head out to the nearby isles for a mesmerizing firefly spectacle, follow the off the beaten trails to undiscovered waterfalls, embark on a deep-sea fishing excursion or indulge in a romantic sunset picnic on an idyllic sand bank. Central to Banwa Private Island’s ethos, the
Aquos Foundation was established to support, nurture and protect the island’s delicate ecosystem. Among its pioneering programmes is the protection and restoration of habitats of the critically endangered Mantanani scops owl, hawksbill turtle and the Tabon scrubfowl (also known as the Philippine megapode).
