Banwa Private Island is now included in Anantara Vacation Club's Platinum Escapes portfolio. The partnership places Banwa Private Island within Anantara's curated collection of destinations reserved for Elite Platinum, Elite Royal, Sapphire and Prestige members. The alliance reflects a growing trend in global travel: guests increasingly seek out experiences that balance privacy and comfort with environmental responsibility and cultural connection.
Banwa Private Island is located in northern Palawan and sits within a designated Important Shark and Ray area (ISRA), recognized internationally as a vital habitat for endangered marine species. The island also provides nesting grounds for the critically endangered Hawksbill turtle.
The island has also adopted innovative approaches to sustainability. It is maintained as a naturally mosquito-free environment without the use of chemical spraying. Dining follows a farm-to-table model, with produce sourced from an onsite organic farm and trusted local suppliers, strengthening ties with surrounding communities while reducing environmental impact.
"Banwa Private Island is a sanctuary of refined and world-class luxury, with a meaningful commitment to sustainability through the Aquos Foundation, offering an eco-conscious luxury retreat. This is an amazing fit with the Anantara Vacation Club lifestyle," said Winston Tsang, COO of Anantara Vacation Club. "We are dedicated to providing our Club Points Owners with exceptional experiences that become cherished memories, and Banwa Private Island offers a personal escape, from yoga overlooking the Sulu Sea to stargazing beneath some of the clearest skies in the Philippines."
"We chose Anantara Vacation Club because of its reputation for curating experiences that are authentic and globally relevant. Its members reflect the same discerning audience who value purposeful travel. This partnership allows us to welcome them to Palawan, Philippines to engage with the island not only as retreat but as a place with a greater purpose," said Simon Turner, Sales & Marketing Director at Banwa Private Island.
This partnership highlights how the future of travel is evolving, with guests seeking experiences that combine exclusivity, cultural respect and environmental responsibility.
