Chef’s creations are served with elements of Filipino classics and traditional local cooking methods, passed down through generations. Their menus change daily, and comprise the finest of imported and local produce. Dining is unscripted and often determined by availability of the very freshest produce possible from our own organic farm, local markets and daily catch by local fishermen.
Located in the heart of a Marine Protected Area encompassing 1,896 hectares, Banwa Private Island has seen a huge rise in populations of once threatened species. Black Tip Reef Sharks are an especially welcome returning inhabitant of the island’s shallows, and the annual numbers of successful nest sites shows an extremely positive upward trend for the Hawksbill Turtle.
