West Nalaut Island, Busuanga, Palawan

About This Island

Also known as West Nalaut, Dao Island spans 47.9 hectares and is located off the west coast of Busuanga Island – the second largest body of land within Palawan province. Dao is an exceptional property for several reasons. Foremost, Dao is the only known island within the Palawan province with a clear title suitable for commercial development – other private islands within the region frequently contend with underlying indigenous claims. Ownership rights aside, the property boasts an inspiring roster of features: a primary sand beach, several beach coves, 80-metre cliffs in some sections of the three-kilometre coastline, dense interior rainforest coverage, ample wildlife, and a surrounding coral reef. Undeveloped and brimming with paradisiacal attractions, Dao Island exhibits abundant potential as a tourist resort or private retreat.
