A Category of One.
In the World's Most
Beautiful Archipelago.
We are proposing to develop a fully self-sufficient private island resort in Palawan — 28 luxury villas, a $2M sailing catamaran, two luxury RIBs, and a world-class wellness clubhouse — structured as a fractional ownership model that generates a 25% developer margin and $338k+ annual profit from day one of full operation.
The Business Case
Six Reasons This Development Works
This is a proposal for a structured fractional ownership development with a clear path to developer profit, recurring annual income, and a product that is genuinely unlike anything else in the market.
25% Developer Margin, Hard-Wired In
The pricing model is built so that gross share sales of ~$16.6M cover the $13.3M net build cost plus a $4.57M developer profit — before a single night of rental income is counted. The margin is structural, not optimistic.
The Sales Engine Funds Itself
Every buyer pays a $795 non-refundable commitment fee. That money goes 100% to advertising and sales commissions. Development capital is never used for marketing. Buyers fund their own acquisition.
Four Revenue Streams, Not One
Maintenance fees, restaurant profits, rental pool commissions, and three dedicated rental villas create $1.19M in annual gross revenue — diversified, recurring, and not dependent on any single source.
A Product With No Comparable in the Philippines
No other fractional ownership project in the Philippines includes a $2M sailing catamaran, luxury RIBs, a clinical-grade wellness centre, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and a private island — at any price point.
100% Energy & Water Independent
80 kWp central solar grid, 200 kWh battery storage, and a resort-grade desalination plant. Zero utility bills. The island is entirely self-sufficient — and that story sells.
Phased Build Eliminates Overexposure
Phase 1 builds 10 villas and the clubhouse. Sales from Phase 1 fund Phase 2. The catamaran and RIBs are purchased first, giving early buyers immediate access and building powerful social proof.
The Development
A Private Island, Built to Last
We are proposing to acquire or long-term lease a private island approximately 20 nautical miles from Coron, Palawan — one of the most celebrated sailing and diving destinations on earth. The development is designed to be entirely self-sufficient: its own power, its own water, its own food supply chain.
The Fleet
A $2M Sailing Catamaran.
Included.
Charter value on the open market: $3,000–$5,000 per day. For fractional owners: available at no extra charge during their stay. No other timeshare in the Philippines comes close to this.
Luxury Sailing Catamaran
Fully crewed. Sleeping aboard, island hopping, sunset sails, snorkelling expeditions — all available to owners during their stay. Purchased before construction begins.
2× Luxury 10m RIBs
Twin 250HP Mercury Verado engines. 20-knot cruise. 20 NM from Coron = 1 hour each way. ~160 litres per round trip. $100/guest transfer surcharge offsets fuel costs.
5× Premium Jet Skis
Yamaha/Sea-Doo premium models. Available for owner and guest use during stays. Maintained under the $100k/year marine maintenance budget.
Full Toy Box
10 full scuba sets, 7 sea kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, towables, and water toys. The complete water sports inventory — all included.
Marine Maintenance Budget: $100,000/year
$100,000/year is budgeted for catamaran and RIB maintenance, servicing, and insurance. This is a real and significant cost of operating luxury marine assets — it is fully accounted for in the annual P&L. Fuel for guest transfers (160 litres/round trip at PHP 120/L) costs ~$331/trip, partially offset by a $100/guest transfer surcharge, bringing net annual fuel cost to approximately $76,255.
The Villas
88 sqm of Private Luxury
Each of the 25 fractional villas is designed to deliver genuine luxury at a cost that makes the business model work. At $250,000 per villa all-in, we achieve a build quality that justifies premium fractional pricing — without the cost overruns of bespoke construction. No children. Adults-only. Couples-focused. That is the market.
Built to the same specification at $300,000 each, these 3 villas are retained by the development company and rented at $450/night. At 150 occupied days/year, they generate $131,625/year in net income — indefinitely. They also serve as show villas during the sales phase, significantly reducing the cost of buyer acquisition.
The Clubhouse
A Wellness Centre That Rivals Any Resort on Earth
The 300 sqm clubhouse is the anchor of the entire value proposition. It is what makes this development genuinely unique — and it is included in every owner's maintenance fee. No extra charge. Ever.
Restaurant & F&B — A Standalone Profit Centre
Priced for the Philippines market. Meals are affordable. Wine and cocktails carry premium margins. The 55% food cost is honest and fully modelled.
Developer Economics
The Numbers That Matter
A 25% developer margin built into the sales structure. $338k+ annual net profit from operations. Break-even by Year 6. Here is every number, fully transparent.
Buyer Economics
What Makes This Irresistible to Buyers
Understanding the buyer's perspective is what makes this project sell. The purchase price is a resaleable asset — not a holiday package. The effective ongoing cost is the annual maintenance fee only. The capital can be recovered — and likely appreciated — on resale.
The Resale Argument — Why the Purchase Price Is Capital, Not Cost
A fractional share is a titled ownership interest in a real asset. Once the island is built and operational, shares in a successful private island resort with a $2M catamaran will be worth more than the early-bird purchase price — not less. Buyers who purchase at $143,000 (28 nights, Early Bird) are acquiring an asset that, once the resort is complete and operational, could realistically trade at $180,000–$220,000 on the secondary market.
This means the effective annual cost of ownership is just the maintenance fee. At $1,500/year for 28 nights, that is $53.57/night — for a private island villa with a $2M catamaran, a world-class wellness centre, and the full toy box included.

The 18-Month Sliding Scale — Built-In Urgency
Early Bird pricing is available from Month 1. Prices increase monthly over 18 months until reaching the full listed price. Buyers who act in Month 1 also lock in the lower Early Bird maintenance fee for life. Every month they wait costs them money — forever.
Owner Rental Income Potential
Owners who don't use all their nights can place them in the managed rental pool at $450/night. The developer takes 25% as a management fee. At 60% occupancy on unused nights, a 28-night owner who uses only 14 nights could earn:
The Sales Model
A Self-Funded Sales Engine
The $795 non-refundable commitment fee paid by every buyer goes 100% to advertising and sales commissions. Development capital is never used for marketing. The buyers fund their own acquisition.
The Commitment Fee
Paid by every buyer before any share purchase. Non-refundable. Goes entirely to the advertising and commission fund. At an average customer acquisition cost of $600–$700, this fee covers the cost of finding each buyer.
Total Buyers Needed
Across all 5 tiers. At a blended average share price of ~$51,000, gross sales of ~$16.6M cover the $13.3M net build cost plus the $4.57M developer margin. Phase 1 requires only 130 buyers to begin construction.
Default Protection
Buyers who fail to make a scheduled payment forfeit their position and receive only a 50% refund of capital paid (minus the commitment fee). This protects the development fund and all other owners from a single buyer's default.

The Process
How the Investment Works
Commitment Fee
$795 non-refundable fee. Secures position and locks in Early Bird pricing and maintenance fee for life. Goes 100% to the advertising and sales commission fund.
30% Down Payment
Or begin a 3, 4, or 5-year finance plan at 7% p.a. Triggers ownership documentation and reserves the specific villa allocation.
Catamaran & RIBs Purchased
Once sufficient Phase 1 buyers are confirmed, the $2M catamaran and two RIBs are purchased and brought to Palawan. Early buyers gain immediate sailing access.
30% Second Payment
Construction of the dock, jetty, and clubhouse begins. Day-trip access to the island becomes available to all confirmed buyers.
30% Third Payment
Villa construction begins. Progress photos and site visits available to all investors. The island starts to take shape.
Final 10% at Completion
Villa is completed and handed over. Full island access begins. Fractional share is formally registered and fully transferable on the open market.
Default Protection Policy
Buyers who fail to make a scheduled payment forfeit their position. They receive a 50% refund of capital paid (minus the commitment fee). The remaining 50% covers the cost of finding a replacement buyer and compensates the project for the delay. This policy protects all other owners and the development fund from a single buyer's default.
Early Access Benefits
As soon as the catamaran and RIBs arrive in Palawan, early buyers gain access to the fleet for sailing and island exploration — even before the villas are built. Once the dock and clubhouse are complete, day-trip access to the island becomes available. Buyers experience the vision becoming reality in real time.
