San Vicente in Palawan exudes a unique charm compared to the more popular destinations in this world-class island destination. A first class, coastal municipality of over 33,000 residents located on the northwestern side of Palawan, San Vicente is steadily gaining buzz as one of the island’s hidden gems, not only for leisure travel but even for business as well. A short flight from Manila brings you to this beachside paradise that some have been calling “heaven on Earth.” Here, well-paved roads, hospitable locals, a pleasant climate, a unique mountain-meets-the-sea terrain, and the country’s longest beach line – the town’s most popular tourist draw – greets you to lend the warmth of home and the excitement of Palawan’s best-kept secret. Boasting of a huge tourism upside that can easily rival some of the best coastal destinations in Asia, this picturesque destination is also home to property giant Megaworld’s first-ever ecotourism township development, the 462-hectare Paragua Coastown. To be developed in the next 10 to 15 years, this township straddles several barangays, including Kemdeng where the project’s first pair of developments will rise soon: the Mercato Shophouse District and the Porto Hotel District.
