An extraordinary resort concept which will change the way travelers think about and enjoy vacations by providing guests with a relaxing natural experience as an antidote to their stressful 'high-tech' everyday life.
Sangat Island is the only island resort offering diving facilities in Coron Bay Busuanga Philippines near to 12 Japanese shipwrecks, some located very close to our beach. Nobody can take you there faster and more comfortably!
Many of the employees at our resort belong to the local Tagbanua tribe and these people still retain their unique culture and add to the undeveloped character of the region. Their past exposure to explorers, colonizers, in-migrants and subsequent inter-marriages to the lowland settlers have already made non-residents and tourists acceptable entrants into what used to be their tribal lands.
While tourism can be a big boost to the local economy, we are continually mindful of not diluting the local culture. As a result, while Tagbanua handicrafts may be available at the resort, we do not exploit local traditions for enjoyment of the guests. We believe the best interaction with the locals is a natural interaction, of which every guest can expect multiple opportunities.
Sangat Island, a traditional hunting and burial ground for the local Tagbanua tribe, is now also a wildlife reserve while the waters surrounding the resort are designated as a marine sanctuary. Sangat Island Reserve is and will continue to be the only development on the island.
The island, more than 700 hectares in size, provides a unique natural experience with its crystal clear seas, hotsprings, lush tropical forests and a fascinating variety of flora and fauna. The beachfront setting provides easy access to snorkeling and boating activities.
Paths into the island's interior over sheer limestone cliffs lead through the tangled forests with breathtaking views of the surrounding islands
