Why Banwa Private Island in the Philippines is the world’s most expensive resort
Luxury island, two hour’s flight from Manila, can accommodate 48 guests in 12 garden rooms, six beach villas – with jacuzzis, pools and butler service – and residential suite
We are already halfway through 2019 and the chances are that you have worked hard enough to take a well-earned break.
While it would be nice to hop on a jet to get to a beach that is far, far away, but people living and working in Asia will be able to find some of the greatest escapes within easy reach.
Banwa Private Island, which sits on the coast of Palawan, in the Philippines, is the perfect place for a quick getaway.
Money can’t buy you the time you have lost, but it certainly can turn your island fantasy into reality.
All-inclusive island resort
Banwa Private Island is the most expensive resort money can buy.
At US$100,000 a night, you’ll be paying much more than what you would pay to stay on Makepeace Island, Richard Branson’s second private resort – costing US$6,940 per night – on Australia’s Sunshine Coast. But it will be worth it.
The 15-acre (6-hectare) island resort can be reached after a two-hour flight by seaplane from Manila (or a 10-minute helicopter transfer from San Vicente in Palawan) and is paradise at its best.
