Banwa Private Island has once again been included in the Robb Report's 50 Greatest Luxury Hotels on Earth for 2025, solidifying its place amongst the world's most exceptional destinations. This btw, is the 3rd consecutive year that Banwa Private Island was included in the list.
"This is one of the world's most exclusive private islands. It's set in a marine-protected sanctuary, and we love it for its incredible diving- it's possible to scuba alongside whale sharks as well as encounter the rare Hawksbill turtle and black tip reef shark," said Henry Cookson, founder of Cookson Adventures, one of the Travel Masters who curated the Robb Report list.
Banwa Private Island has become a preferred retreat for celebrities, heads of state and private families seeking more than just privacy. The property has only six contemporary beachfront villas- each with expansive interiors, private terraces and gardens, a jacuzzi and a full-sized spring water pool. It definitely offers an experience defined by space, serenity and sustainability. Among the largest and most luxurious in the world, the villas provide rare comfort and complete seclusion, with discreet service staff available at a moment's notice but never in view. Whether reserved individually or through a full island charter, each stay is designed to feel effortless, private and deeply personalized.
The island is located in the heart of Sulu Sea and is surrounded by one of the Philippines' most biodiverse marine corridors. Sustainability is also woven into daily island life and the resort operates its own organic farm that provides fresh produce to its kitchens. The island is also uniquely mosquito-free, maintained through an entomologist-designed trapping system that eliminates the need for chemical sprays while safeguarding the delicate ecosystem.
Dining at Banwa Private Island is entirely bespoke- there are no menus to browse, no decisions to make. Each meal is thoughtfully crafted by the island's chef, who takes time to understand every guests' preferences and dietary needs. Using the freshest ingredients from its organic farm and surrounding seas, the chef personalized menus that surprise and delight guests.
There are also curated excursions for guests including wellness treatments and private aviation tours. From snorkeling the vibrant house reef to exploring UNESCO World Heritage Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River.
"The meticulous attention to detail is what makes Banwa Private Island truly special. The presence of vibrant flower bouquets that are refreshed every other day, the discreet room servicing during breakfast times and the continuous replenishment of ice buckets and welcome treats- all without having to reach for the phone," from Gallivanter's Guide 2024 review.
"Today's luxury traveler seeks more than privacy- they seek purpose," said Simon Turner, Director of Sales & Marketing at Banwa Private Island. "Banwa Private Island delivers that rare combination of meaningful travel, uncompromising comfort and untouched natural beauty."
