From Frontier to Future: Megaworld Leads Palawan’s Transformation into a Global Eco-Tourism Powerhouse💪
Palawan, long hailed as the Philippines’ last ecological frontier, is on the brink of a new era of progress as real estate giant Megaworld sets its sights on transforming the island into a global model of sustainable tourism and modern living.
With more than 36 years of expertise in building master-planned and sustainable communities, Megaworld is leading Palawan’s investment and tourism boom through two major township projects the six-hectare Baytown Palawan in Puerto Princesa City and the 462-hectare Paragua Coastown in San Vicente.
Baytown Palawan, located along Puerto Princesa South Road, brings the energy and sophistication of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to the island. The development integrates smart condominiums, commercial hubs, and world-class hotels.
Among its highlights is The Bellagio Palawan, a 12-story residential tower featuring 188 smart-home units and the city’s first heated infinity pool overlooking Puerto Princesa Bay.
Meanwhile, on the northern side of the province, Paragua Coastown is emerging as Palawan’s next major eco-tourism destination. Just minutes away from San Vicente Airport and the world-famous Long Beach, this ₱40-billion township spans 462 hectares and combines luxury, sustainability, and community development.
Under construction are the Oceanfront Premier Residences, featuring 189 smart-home units with panoramic sea and mountain views; the Savoy Hotel Palawan and Paragua Sands Hotel, offering over 600 rooms designed for travelers seeking premium island experiences; and commercial areas like the Mercato Shophouse District and Porto Hotel District, built to promote walkability and eco-friendly tourism.
Both projects showcase Megaworld’s commitment to balancing development and conservation—creating jobs, empowering local communities, and strengthening Palawan’s position as a top-tier global tourism and investment destination.
“As Megaworld continues to invest in Palawan, the island’s future shines brighter than ever—where progress, nature, and purpose meet in perfect harmony,” the company said in a statement.
