First to greet visitors to Marbuena Island Resort is its gleaming white sandbar, a characteristic sand formation, which changes shape depending on the direction of the wind and stretches more than a hundred feet away from the shore during low tide. Perhaps the most interesting part of Marbuena island is its “nature trail,” which circles the whole island, offering a panoramic view of the sea and surrounding islands — you can catch a glimpse of the islands of Concepcion including the towering Mt. Pan de Azucar in the north, the island and mountain ranges of Negros Occidental in the east, The islands of Nasidman and Calabaza in the south, and mainland Panay in the west.

If you’re looking for an quiet, nature-oriented island get-away on Panay Island, something totally the opposite of Boracay, it’s hard to beat the island resort of Marbuena in Iloilo Province in the Philippines. The resort owns the entire island. Logging and hunting are not allowed and, of course, there are no vehicles of any kind. A beautiful ocean-front hiking trail circles the island.

Marbuena can be considered one of the Conception Islands group. These several islands, many of them large, and some spectacular, have few tourist facilities and see few visitors. This is amazing given the beauty of these islands and the hordes of tourists at Boracay and other locations. Marbuena could be considered the “UnBoracay”, a quiet place where quiet and nature are the draws. Read More: http://myphilippinelife.com/marbuena-island-resort-ajuy-iloilo/
