Sangat Island Reserve is situated in the northern
part of the Calamian Islands in the province of Palawan, the
Philippines Western-most islands. The Calamian Islands are known
for their pristine beauty, natural attractions and mystic appeal.
The Calamian Island group is among the most beautiful regions
in the country and ringing with tiny islands. Sangat Island
is 2 km off the coast of Busuanga close to Barangay Bintuan,
Coron. The major islands in the Calamian group are Busuanga,
Culion and Coron. Resort
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.
