LIMESTONE rock formations and the azure sea make Palawan a stunning vision.

Palawan, consistently named as “Best Island in the World” by top travel sites always has a place among Filipinos as a destination for their travel bucket list. The world-class beauty of its beaches and other natural wonders like the Underground River, Bacuit Bay Islands, Baracuda Lake and Ugong Rock are among the top reasons why it’s an island paradise.

Palawan still has several destinations that are waiting to be discovered.

Known as the “Mecca of Scuba Divers,” Cagayancillo island is only southwest of Puerto Prinsesa. You will find the famous Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, dubbed as the center of the Coral Triangle. If scuba diving is part of your bucket list, this is the perfect place to check it off, as you will get a chance to scuba dive to see its beautiful reefs.

For those who want to stay longer on its islands, Diamond Beach Resorts (DBR) of CitiGlobal Realty and Development Inc. offers affordable and investment-worthy properties. The development is ideal for overseas Filipino workers who are ready to come home and live the good life on the island.

Located in unspoiled, emerging vacation hotspots in Palawan, DBR is a world-class beachfront development dedicated to breaking the norm that leisure properties are offered only to a privileged few.

Even hardworking Filipinos deserve a piece of their own paradise.

Once settled on this property, stay in awe at its other neighboring, and distinctly beautiful, islands:

Port Barton

Port Barton is a quiet fishing village just north of Palawan’s capital and only started to gain tourist attraction because of its similar beauty to El Nido — sans the busy nightlife. If you are looking for the perfect escape from the deafening crowd, this laidback little town is the ideal island getaway for you.

Brooke’s Point

Brooke’s Point gives travelers a view of the countrysides. This town offers the beauty of living in the province without all the city lights and attachment to technology. Its Ecological Park and AgriWorld Farm are worth a visit, too.

Balabac Island

Dubbed as the “Maldives of the Philippines,” not many tourists reach the island since it is one of the most challenging islands to reach. But its beauty is worth the trip. Hike and live in nature like a “castaway” at some of its islets. These sets of islands on the Southern part of Palawan are certainly paradise on Earth.

Balayong Park

An upcoming and significant infrastructure development in Puerto Prinsesa, The Balayong Park, is expected to host sports-related activities. The park is a part of the city government’s reboot of its tourism-related infrastructure programs as it prepares to recover in the next two to three years.

Balayong Park is one of the island’s developments that will help sustain its disrupted tourism industry. Recently, three new ports in El Nido, Bataraza, and Coron also started operations last March and are expected to significantly enhance the mobility and connectivity of people and goods in the province and facilitate movements to significant trading and tourism centers.

Besides improving the lives of the locals on the island, Palawan’s infrastructure developments will allow tourists to experience all of the island’s beauty. Once the local tourism industry has fully healed, businesses and other sectors like real estate will soon follow its lead.

In a statement, Citi Global, developer of the resort says that DBR is just one of its projects that aim to “revolutionize the Filipino mindset on leisure properties while giving new investment opportunities for ordinary working-class Filipinos.”
