The so-called “one island, one hotel, one island, one paradise”, as the name implies, is that one hotel occupies the entire island. This model usually prohibits non-resort tourists from going to the island, which can provide a safer and more private environment for tourists to the island. In addition, the various luxury services provided by the hotel give tourists a “island owner” vacation experience.
It is well known that the Maldives is the master of the one-island-one-hotel model, but this model is by no means exclusive to Madai. Southeast Asia has a number of luxury resorts that occupy an island to match the accommodation experience of Madai. This is Palawan Island in the Philippines.
Palawan Island may not be as well-known as Madai, but the experience may not necessarily lose to the Maldives. Even Jr. Kennedy, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Beyonce, Nicholas Tse, Hu Ge, etc. have all stayed here. And relatively speaking, being an “island owner” in Palawan Island is extremely cost-effective.
Next, I will recommend 9 resorts with bright spots for you, and choose to cure the difficult disease of choice according to your needs ~
