Samal Buenavista Island, originally uploaded by MeloVillareal.

Most renowned as a first class, private island resort, one can reach Buenavista Island (locally Ligid Island) by boat thru Ana Marina Resort’s pier from across Samal Island. In many cases, a speedboat brings the guests over where one can rent the whole island to oneself, and live a luxurious, exclusive stay of pampering away from civilization.

This beautiful island is part of the locality of Santa Ana in Cagayan Valley. Palaui Island is surrounded by beautiful beaches and wide coral reefs. In this Island Paradise you can find the old Spanish-built Light House Cape Engaño. With the unspoiled white beach of Anguib, comparable to that of Boracay and El Nido Palawan, and the fine black sands all over the coast. Sta. Ana is the Game Fishing Mecca of the Philippines. It has hosted for two consecutive years the international decathlon, where athletes run through the rugged terrain of Punta Verde to Cape Engaño, then dipped in the crystal clear water of the Philippine Sea.
