Fly to this super private island in Palawan on a super private chartered flight

Say hello to a super luxurious bubble

If you’re stuck in the city right now, nothing will sound more heavenly than a trip to the islands. Can you remember when you last saw the beach? Dipped your toes in sand? Floated on your back and stared at the vastness of the sky? The pandemic has robbed us of many things, one of them the chance to commune with nature.

If you’re paranoid about traveling—check-in baggage counters, sitting beside a coughing passenger—and then even more paranoid about being billeted in resorts with other people, going ultra-private is the answer. If you’ve done the AirBNB rounds and still miss the luxury of your old travels, this new destination in Palawan may just be the travel Rx you need.

At $2,300 per night (per person), you get the experience Banwa Private Island, Palawan’s most talked about new all-villa holiday destination that delivers the best of luxury, privacy, and bespoke service.

Recently voted “Private Island of the Year” in the Destination Deluxe Awards, Banwa Private Island’s sought-after exclusivity is more timely and important than ever before. Guests can opt to stay in any one of Banwa Private Island’s six beach-front villas or, for the ultimate friends and family escape, the entire island can be chartered on an “exclusively yours” basis.

Located within a marine protected area and home to an abundance of rare and vivid flora and fauna, Banwa Private Island has six magnificent beach-front villas, each with their own infinity pool providing the utmost in privacy and tranquility.

Short-hop heli transfers from San Vicente, Puerto Princesa, or El Nido make for a stunning guest arrival experience on the Banwa Private Island’s heli-lawn, after a one-hour commercial flight from Manila.
