Sangat Island Dive Resort, which opened its doors to the general public in 1994, occupies nearly the entire southwestern cusp of Sangat Island. This idyllic paradise offers our guests 22 native-styled, ecologically “low-impact” accommodations, along with restaurant and bar facilities, and an internationally-renowned scuba diving center.
Sangat Island is entirely off the public electricity grid, boasting complete independence in electricity and water supply. Committed to green and clean practices, we harness Solar power as our primary renewable energy source. Sangat Island Resort proudly stands as the only resort in the Philippines that is 100% powered by Solar energy. Our 74 KW solar power system efficiently powers the entire resort, including all air compressors, the desalination plant (fresh water source), ice makers, and refrigeration. Diesel powered generators are maintained solely as backup.
Fringed by a 300-meter span of white sand beachfront, with postcard-perfect tropical waters and vibrant coral reef gardens, Sangat Island Dive Resort has swiftly become a favored destination for eco-conscious travelers and scuba diving enthusiasts worldwide.
A unique highlight for our scuba diving guests is the island’s proximity to eleven World War II era wrecks. Of these, ten are historically significant Japanese War and Supply ships, sunk during the “Battle of Coron Bay” in 1944. Impressively, eight wrecks lie just a 5 to 30-minute boat ride from our beachfront!
