NoaNoa Island

NoaNoa is a “ CHILD-FREE PRIVATE ISLAND” within a coral reef sanctuary. With a maximum of only 6 guest rooms, NoaNoa Island is for those that are seeking an alternative to the typical 5 star resort.  Exclusive privacy is not the only difference: minimalist design, a staff that truly cares, authentic natural beauty of the island and a stunning coral reef.

What once used to be a threatened and over-fished area is now a protected sanctuary with a dazzling array of marine and terrestrial life. Today, the island serves as an outdoor classroom for students, a research area for conservationists, and a haven for tourists eager to experience nature at its purest.


Due to its protection, the reef has remained in a pristine state and represents one of the most beautiful and diverse shallow reefs in the country. The island is an important nesting ground for hawksbill turtles.  The reef crest, encompassing a spectacular array of hard corals, is shallow and snorkelers can see all those wonders of the underwater world which are normally only accessible to divers.

NoaNoa’s Team mission is to enrich and improve the life of the local community by developing community participatory programs. Local fishermen help to significantly reduce the pressure on marine biodiversity by avoiding harmful fishing methods. NoaNoa recruits most employees from the nearby barangays and teaches them the importance of protecting the coral reef and marine life. We currently have 30 employees working on NoaNoa and they have all become Coral Reef Guardians. We hope to recruit you to become one of us!
