With heavy hearts we have left our home on Boayan Island but in exchange we made a pact with the developers to establish the Daplac Bay Marine Reserve with a project to rehabilitate the coral reefs and the marine habitats in general. Together with Palawan Cove we are starting a Coral farm which in a few years time will help to repopulate the coral reefs within the bay and eventually in other parts of Boayan Island, San Vicente and Palawan. So although we have officially left the house, we are still very much a part of the team that will reconstruct the reefs and establish the Marine Reserve,working hand in hand with the developers to keep the magic alive.

Palawan is the playground with areas still not completely ruined by human stress, from North to South we will explore the possibilities by road on 4x4 vehicles, by sea on our sailboat the m/y Dersou, through rivers by kayak, or hiking on foot.

“ Fantasy Islet ”
“ For those who like their vacations quiet and their luxury discreet,
part of an island in the South China Sea can be rented by the week.
Boayan Islet, just off Palawan Island, comes with a staff of six and a boat.
Home is a palatial wooden bungalow on stilts,
the playground a lagoon, an there are any number of pristine
snorkeling holes waiting to be discovered. And the cost ?
Less than the price of a five-star hotel, say the owners.
Check out your very own fantasy isle

“..... This is an idyllic spot for the serious foodie
whose concept of a holiday is
oiling and broiling in the sun,
waiting for the right time to drink that cold brew and reading a book.
Check out their web site at www.chinaseaisland.com .
It is not a resort, but they do take guests.
I could write about it, but half the fun is getting in and out of the
island.
All I can say is that I'm going back ! .......”

go back.
Soon. I was happy and relaxed and scrumptiously fed....
It is Monday morning. 800 emails, a board meeting and more.
Boayan looks really good right now.

great
memories of unforgettable and most wonderful honeymoon.

....We still love to travel though and have
recently returned from a trip to Anguilla, in the British West Indies.
It was very small and charming, a true Caribbean experience.
The beaches were exquisite, but nothing quite ever matches
your bay...

“ Cette exquise maison en bois de 250 m² est
perdue en pleine mer de Chine.
Les grandes terrasses exotiques donnent sur un lagon
aux dégradés de bleu et de vert à couper le souffle....”
Que dire si ce n'est que c'est dur de quitter le paradis
!
"Genial, on veut retourner ..." sont les mots de mes enfants apres
cette semaine à Boayan.
Nous avons passé un moment exceptionnel dans ce petit coin de paradis,
loin de toutes nos préoccupations quotidiennes, à profiter pleinement
de la nature...
J'avoue que ces vacances correspondent exactement à ce que nous attendions
et que nous avons tous profiter pleinenent d'être en famille, de se
retrouver et partager des moments simples et delicieux.
Jouir d'un tel endroit est un cadeau de la vie et faute d'en être propriétaire
(peut etre un jour...) c'est sur nous reviendrons !
Merci 1000 fois de nous avoir fait profiter de votre maison et de votre organisation,
A bientôt,
Vincent ...(Shanghai)
“I just wanted to thank all your team at Boayan for the amazing service
and time they gave to us.
I never would dream to be in such special place, the three of us "re-connected"
and enjoy every minute.
I am originally from Argentina and D... was born in Israel but his father
is French and his mother is Rumanian,
we love to travel and never found a place so beautiful... we relaxed and loved
the food!!!!
the members of your team are very sweet ....
.in short.... WAS AMAZING!!!!!.”
Thanks a lot

“....Mais... Quelle semaine! Si les cosméticiens
vendent du rêve, vous, vous les réalisez!
Je n'ai jamais vu un site web avec des photos qui collaient aussi justement
à la réalité.
Nous n'avions pas connu une telle semaine de détente depuis longtemps.
D'autres vous l'ont déjà dit mais c'est difficile de ne pas
le redire: tout était parfait!
Rien que de savoir qu'un tel endroit existe est un bonheur. Nous ne sommes
pas près d'oublier notre séjour.
Un mot pour la cuisinière. Un mot? Ce n'est pas assez. Un mail ni suffirait
pas non plus d'ailleurs!
Le plus approprié serait peut-être "incroyable" (comme
tout ce que vous offrez en fait).
De l'apéro au café en passant par le pain c'est un sans-faute.
On serait bien resté plus longtemps ne serait-ce qu'avec l'espoir que
certains plats repassent..
. Non seulement on a découvert une foule de saveures nouvelles mais
c'était toujours un délice. Réussir ça au bout
du monde...
Bref, merci à vous tous pour votre accueuil.
Tout ce qu'on espère maintenant, c'est revenir rapidement!!! (et que
le printemps arrive à Shanghai).”

Le paradis sur terre aux philippines
Juste pour vous dire que nous on a trouvé le paradis sur terre pas
loin de shanghai: (http://www.chinaseaisland.com/.)
Enfin pas loin... c'est pas facile d'accès, mais c'est ce qui en fait
tout le charme justement.
Le site est éloquent, mais surtout, je peux vous assurer qu'il n'est
pas mensonger!!!
J'y ai passé une semaine de rêve avec ma femme. bon, je dirais
que ce n'est pas la catégorie "étudiants",
et ce n'est pas non plus la catégorie resort de luxe (on est perdus
sur une île déserte quand même).
Ceux qui ont peur de trop décompresser, abstenez vous!!!
Les propriétaires sont un couple franco-philippin super accueuillant....

What you give to your guests is so good for the whole Body, Mind and Spirit.
It is very rare to find, and very precious.
We really enjoyed meeting the two of you, and our evening meals and chats
together.
Thank you so much! We will treasure the memories.
One of my biggest surprises was one morning when we were snorkelling,
Arthur looked up and spotted a troop of 5 or 6 monkeys down at the water’s
edge, fishing or licking salt off the rocks or something.
That was amazing.
Another time, again while snorkelling; we were watching Hornbills up in the
trees, creating a huge racket.
At first I thought they were Toucans, but when I saw the pictures on your
website,
I realized what they were. I am a bit sorry I didn’t get to actually
see the Tabun bird,
but I did get to recognise its cry, and could picture it in my mind’s
eye when it called out.
With Love from Jean and Arthur xo J

With heavy hearts we have left our home on Boayan Island but in exchange we made a pact with the developers to establish the Daplac Bay Marine Reserve with a project to rehabilitate the coral reefs and the marine habitats in general.
