Sabang Beach on the western coast of Palawan remains a quiet alternative for travelers seeking an unspoiled tropical retreat. With golden sands, clear waters, and limestone cliffs, the beach is also a gateway to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
While most visitors stay in Puerto Princesa City, 90 minutes away, Sabang Beach offers a quieter setting for those looking to avoid crowded tourist destinations. Four Points by Sheraton Palawan, a Marriott International hotel, caters to visitors seeking a mix of adventure and comfort, with air-conditioned rooms, beachfront access, and modern amenities.
The hotel spans 5.25 hectares, featuring a 1,367-square-meter pool with a swim-up bar, an on-site spa, and a 24-hour fitness center. The property also includes Cub’s Club, a supervised play area for children.
Located within a 22,000-hectare marine protected area, the resort promotes sustainability. It operates on solar energy, with 30 percent generated from on-site panels and the rest supplied by Sabang Renewable Energy Corp.
Additional measures include a materials recovery facility, a rainwater catchment system, and a water treatment plant. The resort’s staff uniforms are sourced from the Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation, which supports local women weavers.
Evolution, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, serves dishes made from ingredients grown on-site or supplied by Sheridan Organic Farm. Guests can book farm tours and farm-to-table dining experiences, including hands-on farming activities.
Four Points Palawan organizes eco-tourism activities in partnership with local groups. The nearby beach serves as a nesting ground for olive ridley and green sea turtles. Other attractions include the Mangrove Paddleboat Tour, the Sabang Waterfall, and the Puerto Princesa Sabang X Zipline, which spans 800 meters and rises 150 feet above the ground. Adventure seekers can also visit Ugong Rock, known for spelunking, or explore the Sabang Jungle Trail, a five-kilometer trek through limestone karst forests.
