(September 2021) Banwa Private Island is delighted to partner with Ascent Flights Global ("Ascent") to offer guests planning a trip to the exclusive remote island a high degree of personal safety and privacy while travelling once international borders re-open.

Located in north-eastern Palawan and nestled in Sulu Sea, Banwa Private Island is set amidst one of the most outstanding areas of natural beauty imaginable. The glistening island of lush, verdant landscaping and pristine white sands is the ultimate in luxury, tranquility and infinite privacy.

With Ascent, the exclusive island is still remote but not removed, as the partnership will offer guests a curated and seamless travel bubble for on demand private flights using seaplanes, helicopters and private jets as needed.  

Ascent will offer guests the options of taking a 1 hour and 45-minute seaplane flight from Manila, seating up to 8 pax and landing directly in front of Banwa Private Island's house reef.

Alternatively, guests can take a 10-seater helicopter from Manila Ninoy Airport or one of Palawan's three commercial airport San Vicente, Puerto Princesa or El Nido across the Sulu Sea to land on Banwa Private Island's heli-lawn.

Ascent also offers both domestic and international arrivals by private jets, be it in Manila or Clark for onward journey with any of their varying type of aircraft, or directly to either San Vicente or Puerto Princesa airports in Palawan. This Includes Ascent’s bespoke services including ground handling arrangements with meet and greet arrangements, inter-airport transfers, exclusive lounge service and immigration fast track.
