Located in the Sulu Sea in the Philippines province of Palawan, Banwa Private Island is set amidst one of the most outstanding areas of natural beauty imaginable.

The island is accessible via both private and commercial transport. We have arranged private transfers for our group from Puerto Princesa on May 31st and we would suggest arriving in town the night before to catch the morning transport.

There are flights departing Friday evening (details included below) but there are often delays so we really would suggest arriving the day before so you won’t get stranded! :)
