MAGALAWA ISLAND | MACKIBYAHE

Magalawa Island is a remote paradise located in Palauig, Zambales. It has a total land area of 56 hectares, and it is accessible through a 10-minute boat ride from Sitio Luan. The island boasts creamy white sand beaches, towering coconut trees, rich marine life, and sea corals perfect for snorkeling and diving. Even though the island is surrounded by seawater, potable drinking water is enormous, acquired through jetmatic and pitcher pumps. Unlike other beaches, Magalawa island has a calm and quiet environment, a zen place away from the noisy and stressful atmosphere of the metro. According to the elders living in the place, the Magalawa Island was once connected in Sitio Luan Barangay Lipay with a river bisecting the two areas. As years passed, the current from the river became stronger and broader. Finally, due to continuous erosion, the land started to separate, creating an island. The natives called this formed island “MAG-LUWA,” which means “about two places.” Getting There By car: If you're taking a private vehicle from Metro Manila drive all the way to Pangolinga in Palauig, Zambales. The fastest way to reach Palauig is via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and on to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). The latter will take you to the Subic Bay Freeport where you can get on back to the national road going to Iba. After passing through the Iba public market continue to head north until you reach a junction (the Amungan triangle). Keep right to avoid passing through Palauig town and continue on until you reach a second junction (Banlog triangle). Keep right as before, heading north towards Pangolingan. You will pass by a Mt. Tapulao signage, the Zameco Electric Cooperative and a bridge (the Bgy. Salaza Bridge). Look for the welcome sign to Pangolingan. Slow down after this sign and look for a waiting shed on the left side of the road. Turn left on the rough road at this waiting shed (Veritas Road) and drive for around 15-20 minutes until you reach Luan Port and either the Armada Resort parking area or the parking area for Ruiz Resort customers. By public transpo: Take a bus bound for either Sta. Cruz or Iba, Zambales (Victory Liner has buses going to both places from Metro Manila). If you take the Sta. Cruz bus simply ask the driver to drop you off at the Radio Veritas Road in Bgy. Pangolinan, Palauig, Zambales. If you take the Iba bus you will have to take an ordinary bus at the Iba terminal to connect to Bgy. Pangolinan. The first bus option is obviously better but the buses to Sta. Cruz are not available every hour unlike the Iba buses. From the waiting shed in front of the Veritas Road you can then take tricycles to Luan Port and to either the Ruiz Resort or Armade Resort jump-off points depending on which resort you will be staying.
