Philippines Escapes & Hideaways
Tay Tay, Philippines
RELATED:
Flower Island is a beautiful tropical islet in Northern Palawan, Philippines, with a wide white powdery sand beach, dotted with many coconut trees and other colourful plants from the Pacific. The warm, crystal-clear waters are amongst the most fish-abundant of the archipelago, and the sunsets from the beach are exceptional.
The simple and natural resort comprises just 6 spacious bungalows, all built from local and materials, each with a large private terrace fronting the beach. Rooms are naturally airy but are also aquipped with fans (no Aircon required here). The private shower-bathrooms feed ambient temperature fresh water.
Additionally, at one end of the beach, a 2-storey villa with 4 air-conditioned rooms can be rented separately, or as a whole for families or groups of friends.
The restaurant offers fine dining, a clever mixture of local tastes with a foreign touch. Service is efficient and unobtrusive.
Activities: although primarily a getaway for putting your feet up in a beautiful, natural environment, Flower Island also offers a range of possibilities for the more active. A pathway circumnavigates the island - a 20 minute, scenic walk; beach kayaks or local paddle boats are available to explore the surrounding islands. A visit to the nearby pearl farm can be arranged free-of-charge, and those who wish to can hire motorised boats for a minimal cost to go island hopping or fishing.
On the beach, volleyball, badminton and French "petanque" are available any time.
