Palawan is one of the must-visit places in the Philippines, especially during the summer. The Puerto Princesa Underground River is world-renowned and is one of the 7 New Wonders of Nature. The limestone cliffs of El Nido are picturesque and comparable to Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay.
Found in the southwestern part of Palawan, Onuk Island (formerly known as Roughton Island) is a hidden spot that’s now taking the limelight for its crystal waters and its white sand beaches. It’s a great destination for rest and relaxation, and the calm waters make it a great place for swimming.
It’s also fast becoming a popular tourist destination, having been featured in National Geographic Channel because of a winning photo by travel photographer George Tapan.
Onuk Island is a privately-owned island, a property of Mayor Shuaib Astami of Balabac, Palawan. Despite its being a private property, it is open to the public, and it has a few rooms to accommodate guests.
