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.
