BANWA PRIVATE ISLAND

A UNIQUE LIFE EXPERIENCE

Set in the heart of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and nestled under Palawan in the Sulu sea, this marine protected sanctuary provides world class service, accommodation and facilities with conservation and sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

The vision of Banwa was to be harmonious with nature whilst providing every modern comfort - including the largest private island villas to be found anywhere in the world - but not to dominate the island with buildings or people, ensuring guests can interact with nature on their own terms, retain total privacy if required and swim, dine and relax under the sun and stars.

Whilst there are a host of facilities and activities available on the island, there are over 20 other islands in our immediate vicinity and the mother Palawan island herself - all offering a wide range of activities for those who want to adventure further using the island's luxury speedboats.

No tourists, no cars, no noise, no pollution - simply a unique experience.  Safe always in the knowledge that the island is mosquito free!

GUEST REVIEWS

"It was my daughter's suggestion for this second trip, and I'm also glad that she insisted on it.

We observed more of the beauties of the island and I was once again touched by the homely and hospitable feeling that the Banwa family extended to us"
