Isla Tala

A beach villa · from $9,500 a night

Spend like a billionaire

A private island in the Bacuit archipelago, where limestone cliffs rise out of lagoons so clear the boats seem to float on air. Eight villas on the sand and in the trees, a chef who grills the morning's catch on the beach, and a fleet of outriggers to take you into the lagoons before the day boats come.
