Banwa Private Island is not only a world leading paradise, but a marine protected sanctuary focused on sustainability and conservation, with multiple dive locations accessible via the island’s private boats. 

The island operates in the spirit of the Tagbanwa people, an ancient indigenous tribe and the original protectors and the seas and the land.  Managed by the island’s charitable Aquos Foundation, the island operates as part of the UNESCO Palawan Biosphere Reserve as a genuine area of sustainability.
