Review & FAQ:
Fortune Island is an abandoned island in Batangas that was once a private luxury resort island. The resort closed in 2006 due to the lack of access to fresh drinking water and the cost of bringing fresh water into the resort. An acropolis stands on top of a limestone cliff on Fortune Island. The island is accessible via boat from Fortune Island Resort, which now operates from the mainland. Visitors will pay an entrance fee to the resort, as well as a boat rental fee to go to the quiet, secluded island. Visitors to the island swim at the white sand beaches or cliff dive into the deep, yet calm waters. A lighthouse is also found on the island and reachable by hiking thirty minutes from the beach. Snorkeling and scuba diving are also fun, popular activities. There are a few natural wonders under the water on Fortune Island include Blue Holes, which are made up of sinkholes, Dutch freighter wreckage, and the Fortune NW coral formation. Some visitors also camp on the island.
