1. Medio Island Group ($30,000,000)
- Location: Northern Samar, Eastern Visayas
- Size: 1,104 acres
- Description: Approx. 10 nm from the Pacific side of the San Bernardino Strait
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Medio Island Group is a rare three-island private holding in the historic Naranjo Islands off Northern Samar, where the San Bernardino Strait opens toward the Pacific.
The sale includes Medio, Rasa, and San Andres, together forming around 447 hectares / 1,104 acres within a circular six-island cluster of volcanic origin. Medio itself rises to around 65 m and includes three beaches, with coconut groves across land once associated with the Spanish orange trees that gave the Naranjo Islands their name.
The surrounding waters add another layer of appeal, with coral reefs and clear tropical seas offering strong potential for diving, marine tourism, and low-impact eco-retreat use. The scale of the holding also leaves room for wider plans, from agriculture and renewable energy to a resort-and-marina concept, subject to permits and title verification.
Access is via Catarman by air or the Allen–Matnog ferry route, followed by boat transfer to the islands. For a buyer looking for scale in the Visayas, Medio Island Group is best understood as an undeveloped archipelago opportunity with beaches, plantations, reefs, and long-term development potential.
2. Rat Island ($9,840,000)
- Location: Coron, Northern Palawan
- Size: 30 acres
- Description: Off Brgy. Maglalambay, SW Busuanga, around 1 h by boat from Coron town
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Rat Island is a 12.2-hectare private-island opportunity off the south-western side of Busuanga, within the wider Coron and Calamianes island region.
Despite the name, the setting is highly attractive: a reef-fringed tropical islet with mangrove areas, white-sand frontage, and surrounding shallow water. Located off Brgy. Maglalambay, it sits around one hour by boat from Coron town, placing it within one of Palawan’s most recognisable cruising and island-hopping areas.
What makes Rat Island especially interesting is the ownership claim. The seller advertises a full Transfer Certificate of Title together with an updated tax declaration, which would place it in a more desirable category than many cheaper Palawan island listings that rely only on tax declarations or possessory claims.
That title claim should still be verified directly with the Registry of Deeds, along with boundaries, land classification, and any foreshore limitations. The beach, reef flats, and mangrove fringe may still fall under public or protected areas, but if the TCT is confirmed, Rat Island could be a rare titled whole-island opportunity in prime Coron cruising waters.
3. NoaNoa Island ($8,200,000)
- Location: Taytay Bay, North Palawan, Sulu Sea side
- Size: 7.4 acres
- Description: Approx. 1 h by boat from El Nido
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
NoaNoa Island is a polished 3-hectare private island resort estate in Taytay Bay, on the quieter Sulu Sea side of northern Palawan.
Developed over many years by its owners, Andy and Chelo, the island was created as both a private home and a hospitality retreat. The result is a finished, adults-only island estate rather than a raw development project, with off-grid systems already supporting day-to-day island life.
One of NoaNoa’s strongest features is its surrounding reef. The coral reef around the island was formally protected as early as 2006, giving the property a strong conservation and marine-life angle. The wider reef area, reported at up to around 70 hectares, helps make the island feel like its own self-contained marine sanctuary.
El Nido is around one hour away by boat, while Taytay airstrip is closer, giving the island a useful balance between privacy and accessibility. For a buyer who would rather inherit a completed private-island vision than build from scratch, NoaNoa stands out as one of the more refined small island estates in the Philippines.
4. Pungtod Island & Gak-Ang Island ($8,200,000)
- Location: Off Panglao Island, Bohol, Central Visayas
- Size: 3.3 acres
- Description: Off SW Panglao, around 15–20 min by boat from Alona Beach
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Pungtod and Gak-Ang are a pair of islets off the SW coast of Panglao, Bohol, within the shallow reef flats between Panglao and Balicasag Island.
Pungtod is widely known as Panglao’s “Virgin Island,” a curved white-sand destination regularly visited by day-trippers from Alona Beach, while Gak-Ang lies a short distance farther S. Access is approximately 15–20 minutes by boat from Alona, around 45 minutes from Bohol–Panglao International Airport, and within reach of Cebu by fast ferry.
The listing claims both islets are titled and offered as freehold property. However, this requires particularly careful verification. Pungtod is known as a tidal sandbar, with parts becoming submerged at high tide, and land below the legally defined high-water mark may be classified as public foreshore rather than privately transferable land.
Any title, survey plan, technical boundaries and DENR foreshore classification should therefore be independently reviewed before purchase. Subject to those checks, the holding offers unusual name recognition and accessibility within one of the Philippines’ best-known island-tourism destinations.
5. Kangkangon Island & Litalet Island ($6,350,000)
- Location: Surigao del Norte, Caraga
- Size: 119 acres
- Description: Approx. 15 min by pumpboat from town
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Kangkangon Island and Litalet Island are offered together as a two-island private holding off the western coast of Siargao, in the passage between Siargao and mainland Mindanao.
Together, the islands cover around 48 hectares. Kangkangon features a white-sand beach that widens at low tide, while nearby Litalet sits in its own bay, surrounded by mangrove-fringed waters and productive fishing grounds.
The property lies within the Siargao Islands Protected Landscape and Seascape, giving it a strong natural setting but also adding important conservation and permitting considerations. Any future resort, eco-retreat, or private-use concept would need to be planned carefully around these environmental restrictions.
Access is by pumpboat from San Benito, around 15 minutes from town and roughly 20 minutes from the airport area. For a buyer drawn to Siargao’s growing profile, Kangkangon and Litalet offer scale, seclusion, and island-development potential, but the tax-declaration status and future titling process should be verified carefully before purchase.
6. Cagdanao Island ($4,200,000)
- Location: Off Taytay, Northern Palawan, near El Nido
- Size: 67 acres
- Description: Off eastern Taytay, around 30–45 min by boat from El Nido / Lio Airport
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Cagdanao Island, also known as Coral Island, is a developed 27-hectare resort island off the eastern coast of Taytay in northern Palawan.
Set within the wider island belt leading toward El Nido, Cagdanao has the natural ingredients of a tropical resort setting: coral-fringed shoreline, shallow reef gardens, drop-offs, clear water, and a genuine sense of seclusion. Despite that remote feel, the island is reported to be around 30–45 minutes by boat from El Nido / Lio Airport and roughly 29 km from Taytay town.
The island is already shaped for guest use, making it more of an operational or revival opportunity than a raw landholding. For a buyer seeking a resort island in the El Nido–Taytay orbit, that existing development gives Cagdanao a practical advantage over blank-canvas listings.
The ownership structure is the key caution. The deal is understood to rest on a tax declaration plus a 25-year renewable foreshore lease, rather than clean fee-simple title. Read clearly, this is a leasehold-style island opportunity: attractive, developed, and well located, but best suited to a buyer who is comfortable verifying the lease, tax-declaration status, permitted uses, and long-term tenure before purchase.
7. Ligpo Island ($4,000,000)
- Location: Batangas, Anilao, Luzon
- Size: 1 acre
- Description: Approx. 10 min by boat from shore, around 2–3 h from Manila
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Utopia Island Beach Resort, also known as Ligpo Island, is a compact private island retreat in Batangas, set within the well-known Anilao diving corridor.
The island covers roughly 4,000 m² / 1 acre and has been renovated into a seven-bedroom hideaway with a seawater pool, helipad, and private resort-style facilities. Although small in land area, it offers a complete developed island setup rather than a raw development project.
Its location is one of its strongest advantages. Ligpo Island sits only around 10 minutes by boat from the Batangas shore and can be reached from Manila in around two to three hours by road, or much faster by helicopter. An optional mainland beach parcel with private parking adds further convenience for guests and operations.
Surrounded by a marine sanctuary and close to the dive walls of Ligpo Pinnacle and Cave, the island has strong appeal as a private family retreat, boutique hospitality property, or diving-focused resort. For buyers seeking a ready-made island near Manila, Utopia Island offers rare accessibility, privacy, and lifestyle value in one small but highly usable package.
8. Kalo Island, Culion ($4,000,000)
- Location: Off Culion, Calamian Islands, Northern Palawan
- Size: 30 acres
- Description: Approx. 15 min by boat NW of Culion town, reached via Coron
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Kalo Island is a handsome 12.2-hectare island in the Calamianes, around 15 minutes by boat from Culion town and within reach of Coron.
The island itself is attractive: forested, beach-edged, and highly photogenic, with the kind of tropical Palawan setting that naturally appeals to resort buyers and long-term island investors. On appearance alone, it looks like a strong private-island opportunity.
The paperwork, however, tells a much stricter story. Kalo is classified as “Unclassified Public Forest,” meaning the land belongs to the State and cannot currently be privately titled under Philippine law. A seller may hold a tax declaration or possessory claim, but that is not the same as ownership or freehold title.
Any route toward secure tenure would likely require a long DENR reclassification process, with no guarantee that a private title could ever be issued. Kalo is therefore best included for completeness and for a patient, fully informed buyer: the island is real and beautiful, but the freehold ownership being marketed is not yet there to be bought.
9. Purao Island ($3,756,000)
- Location: Off Roxas, north-eastern Palawan
- Size: 14.2 acres
- Description: Approx. 6 km / 20 min by boat off Roxas, around 135 km N of Puerto Princesa
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Purao Island is a 5.7-hectare whole private island off Roxas on Palawan’s north-eastern coast, marketed as titled, settler-free, and ready for development.
In a market where clean island title can be difficult to confirm, that makes Purao stand out as a potentially straightforward Palawan opportunity. The island is ringed by white sand and served by its own shallow well, giving it useful natural advantages for a private retreat or small-scale eco-resort concept.
Its location is also notable. Purao sits near Banwa, one of the world’s most exclusive private-island resorts, placing it within a recognised luxury island setting. Roxas itself is the road gateway toward San Vicente and El Nido, with the island around 20 minutes by boat from town and roughly two hours by paved road from Puerto Princesa.
The title number should still be confirmed directly with the Registry of Deeds, but the fundamentals are unusually promising for a Palawan island: manageable size, claimed clean title, white-sand frontage, water access, and a position close to northern Palawan’s growing tourism route.
10. Inagusuan Island + Frazer Island ($2,100,000)
- Location: Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa, Palawan
- Size: 6.4 acres, across two islands
- Description: Approx. 25 min by banca from Sta. Lourdes, Honda Bay, around 12 km NE of Puerto Princesa
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Inagusuan Island and Frazer Island are offered together as a 2.6-hectare two-island holding in Honda Bay, one of Puerto Princesa’s best-known island-hopping areas.
The islands sit within a sheltered cluster that also includes Luli, Starfish, Cowrie, and Pandan, placing them in one of Palawan’s most convenient tourism locations. Access is by banca from Sta. Lourdes wharf, around 25 minutes away, with Puerto Princesa city and its airport roughly 12 km to the southwest.
Frazer Island already carries a development story, with an earlier luxury concept for more than 60 water villas that was planned but never built. That unbuilt vision gives the property a clear hospitality angle, while the current undeveloped condition leaves room for a buyer to rethink the islands according to permits, environmental rules, and market demand.
The listing claims clean title and notes that capital gains tax is payable by the buyer, both of which suggest a registered land transaction, though the title details should still be verified carefully. For a developer seeking private-island control close to a functioning regional hub, Inagusuan and Frazer offer rare access, visibility, and tourism potential in Honda Bay.
11. Calumbuyan Island ($1,640,000)
- Location: Off Brgy. Concepcion, Busuanga, Coron, Northern Palawan
- Size: 24.7 acres
- Description: Off Brgy. Concepcion, S Busuanga, around 30 min by speedboat from Coron
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Calumbuyan Island is a 10-hectare private-island opportunity off Brgy. Concepcion on southern Busuanga, within the wider Coron and Calamianes diving region.
The island is already known to divers, with Calumbuyan Reef forming part of Coron’s underwater circuit, not far from the bay’s famous wartime wrecks and reef sites. That existing name recognition gives the island a stronger tourism angle than many raw Palawan listings.
The land itself includes beach frontage and coconut areas, with access reported at around 30 minutes by speedboat from Coron town. Its position makes it interesting for a buyer seeking a simple island base, dive retreat, or low-impact tourism concept in one of Asia’s most recognised diving destinations.
The ownership structure is the main caution. Calumbuyan is confirmed as tax-declaration land only, without a Torrens title, so buyers would need to verify whether the land is alienable and disposable, confirm DENR classification, and understand whether a realistic titling path exists. Still, for a buyer comfortable with that groundwork, a named reef-ringed dive island in Coron at raw-land pricing has clear appeal.
12. Ingalan Island ($985,000)
- Location: Off Vinzons / Paracale, Camarines Norte, Bicol
- Size: 117 acres
- Description: Approx. 5 km by boat off Paracale, around 210 km E of Manila
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Ingalan Island is a 47.3-hectare whole island off the Pacific-facing coast of Camarines Norte, positioned between the mainland and the famous Calaguas island group.
The island offers real scale, with a long beach of around 700 m on one side and a shorter beach facing toward Calaguas. Between the shorelines are grazing land, open ground, and raw coastal landscape, giving Ingalan the feel of a proper undeveloped Bicol island holding.
The main caution is tenure. The island is held under a single long-standing tax declaration, not a clean Torrens title, so buyers would need to verify the DENR land classification, ownership history, and whether a realistic titling route exists. Titling an entire offshore island can be a serious and time-consuming process.
Access is by boat from Paracale, around 5 km away, with Daet within reach and Manila several hours to the west. For a patient buyer willing to handle the legal groundwork carefully, Ingalan offers rare island scale in one of the Philippines’ more under-the-radar coastal regions.
13. Calabagio Island ($902,000)
- Location: Palumbanes group, Caramoran, Catanduanes, Bicol
- Size: 58 ac
- Description: Approx. 13 km offshore, around 30–60 min by motorboat from Caramoran, NW Catanduanes
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Calabagio is one of the three Palumbanes Islands off the wild NW coast of Catanduanes, Bicol’s storm-battered and beautiful “Land of the Howling Winds.”
The island covers approximately 23.6 hectares in the Maqueda Channel, around 13 km and 30–60 minutes by motorboat from Caramoran town. This is frontier island country, reached by flying to Virac or travelling by ferry from Tabaco, followed by an onward road and boat journey.
That extra effort is rewarded with a genuinely remote and largely untouched setting that few outsiders ever see. The listing describes Calabagio as “fully titled,” but no title number or supporting land documents are publicly provided, and the offer appears through an aggregator.
Verification through the Catanduanes Registry of Deeds should therefore be the essential first step, together with a review of the survey plan, technical boundaries and access rights.
For a buyer drawn to remote, dramatic islands far beyond the established tourism routes, Calabagio is a rare offering in a province where private islands seldom come to market.
14. Kabo Island ($500,000)
- Location: Surigao del Norte, near Siargao
- Size: 58 acres
- Description: Approx. 5 km / 15–20 min by boat off Surigao City, around 1.5 h from Siargao
- Ownership: Leasehold
- Development: Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Kabo Island, also known as Kabusgan Island, is a whole private-island opportunity of around 23.4 hectares across the bay from Surigao City.
The island sits opposite Day-asan, the stilt-house village often called the “Little Venice of Surigao,” and is reached by boat in around 15–20 minutes from the city. From there, Siargao is roughly 1.5 hours onward, giving Kabo a useful position between Surigao’s urban access and the wider Siargao tourism gateway.
Unlike many raw island listings, Kabo has signs of working use already in place. The land includes coconut, pineapple, and other agricultural areas, supported by six reported freshwater springs. This gives the island a practical advantage for private retreat, agri-tourism, or low-impact hospitality concepts, subject to permits and legal checks.
The main caution is tenure. The seller advertises a clean Transfer Certificate of Title, but other references suggest tax declaration or leasehold status, while the mangrove fringe is likely public forest and cannot be privately owned. A full title trace, boundary check, and DENR verification would be essential. Still, for a buyer seeking springs, arable land, city access, and proximity to Siargao, Kabo Island is an unusually interesting Surigao opportunity.
