WE RENTED AN ENTIRE ISLAND IN THE PHILIPPINES (hidden gem?)
We took a risk and booked an entire “cheap” private island in the Philippines.
And we did it with VERY little information available on the internet…

We Rented an Entire Island in the Philippines: A Hidden Gem?
The Philippines boasts of more than 7,000 islands, each with its unique beauty and charm. One of these hidden gems is the island of Ticao, located in the Bicol Region. Ticao Island is a quiet and peaceful island that has not yet been fully discovered by tourists. Its white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and colorful marine life make it an excellent destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Recently, my friends and I were looking for a unique experience and decided to rent the entire Ticao Island. We wanted to have the whole island to ourselves, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy a relaxing vacation in a serene environment.
Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the stunning view of the island. Its clear waters shimmered under the sun while the soft white sand welcomed us to the island. Away from the noise and the crowd, we enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere that provided a much-needed break from our hectic schedules.
We stayed at Ticao Island Resort, which is conveniently situated on the eastern side of the island. The resort had all the amenities we needed, including cottages, a pool, a restaurant, and a bar. They also offered water sports activities such as diving, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. We tried them all, and each experience was exhilarating in its way.
The island gave us the opportunity to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature. We explored the island by foot, and we were amazed by the rich biodiversity the island had to offer. We walked through mangrove forests, lush vegetation, and visited hidden beaches that only a few people knew about.
One of our most unforgettable experiences was the night tour we took with the resort’s guide. We were able to witness the glowing plankton that illuminated the ocean’s surface as we swam in the warm water. It was a magical moment that we will never forget.
In conclusion, renting an entire island like Ticao Island is an experience of a lifetime. It’s an excellent opportunity to escape the city and immerse yourself in nature’s beauty. The island provides a serene environment that enables guests to relax and unwind, away from their busy schedules. With its pristine beaches, diverse marine life, and exciting activities, Ticao Island is undoubtedly a hidden gem in the Philippines that must be explored.
