160 miles southwest of Manila lies the tropical paradise of Ariara Island.

Part of the Calamian Islands which are located in the stunning region of Palawan, Ariara is a truly special place that is sure to become one of the most desired holiday destinations in the world. This private property is available to let including the exclusive use of the whole island, managed and serviced by the owner’s personal staff.

The island is fringed by huge green palm trees and hundreds of metres of soft white sand beaches lapped by the clear waters of the Sulu Sea. The interior rises up through the jungle to a peak that gives amazing views and the island itself is a sanctuary for an enormous diversity of wildlife both on land and at sea.

Philippine sea eagles nest high in the rocks and according to the season owls, kingfishers, woodpeckers, egrets and flower peckers are a few of the many species of birds which can be seen.

There are various species of lizard including the magnificent but harmless water monitor lizard. Beautiful butterflies, bats and fascinating insects abound. Wild orchids and carnivorous pitcher plants flourish in the forests.

In the clear warm waters there are four endangered species of turtle including hawksbill, leatherback, olive ridley, and green - some of them returning annually to lay their eggs along Ariara’s main beach.

Straight off the beach and from the jetty there are reefs ideal for snorkelling above the brightly coloured coral and huge diversity of fish.
