Stay on a private island in the Philippines

WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Flash Pack’s private-island experience in the Philippines lets you live like a rock star, with the kind of VIP treatment that would be almost impossible to organise solo. Palawan itself is a breathtakingly beautiful island, but you’ll be heading further into the coral reefs and turquoise coves of the Bacuit archipelago. 

Your final destination is Ginto, a remote and spectacular tropical island that you and your small group of travellers will have exclusively to yourselves over the course of a two-day escape. With hardly any phone reception, this is a rare chance to tap out and reconnect with nature. But unlike most castaways, you’ll remain firmly in the lap of luxury, with a team of private chefs, masseuses and a private boat on-hand to attend to your every whim.

SECURE YOUR SPOT

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

This Philippines private-island experience begins with an exclusive boat trip across the Bacuit seascape. You’ll have champagne and cocktails (if you fancy it) en route to Ginto, where a series of star-spying luxury one man tents awaits on the beach. At night, you’ll nod off beneath a canvas of stars to the gentle swish of the sea.

In the morning, you’ll be treated to a spectacular Filipino sunrise. Beach meals are set out exquisitely, with evocative lighting and a choice of fresh ceviche or seafood barbecues from your private chef. With your private vessel on standby, you can go island-hopping whenever you like, too. Kayaking and snorkelling equipment are also handy to help you enjoy the colourful sea life.

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAYS

“It was great to be completely free of the stresses of daily life and out of reach from the world at large,” says Flashpacker, Prath Narenthiran. “During the days, we played football on the beach or went island-hopping on our private boat. We had two private masseurs with us. At night, we had bonfires and marshmallows on the beach, with deep conversations that lasted into the early hours.”

“Ginto means ‘gold’ in Filipino – and that’s exactly what you get in the form of glorious sands, a private stay and personalised service,” adds Philippines guide Rupert Andres. “We all sleep in mesh tents by the sea – I like to call it ‘million-star accommodation’ because Flashpackers get to sleep beneath a night sky, filled with stars.”
