Sinag Beachfront Cabin in Isla Verde, Batangas

About this space
Sinag is your solar-powered waterfront sanctuary on the cool shores of Isla Verde.

Skate by the sea, watch the sunrise and sunset from a hammock, or wind down with a movie under the stars—all with Starlink internet, if you must be connected.

Please note: this isn’t a high-end private resort, but a soulful little family cabin we’re opening to guests who want to experience authentic island living within a vibrant local community with its own pulse and pace. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
The space
Sinag features one large open cabin — perfect for sleeping on mats or sleeping bags. There is no A/C, but it’s always breezy!

The cabin fits 4 people (2 in the bedroom) comfortably, but the maximum occupancy of the property is 10 guests in consideration of the environment and proper waste management.

For 5-10 guests, there's plenty of outdoor space to pitch tents and sleep under the stars. The cabin has a rustic glamping style, offering a comfy but natural experience with lots of room to move and unwind.

Sinag sits right next to the Verde Island Passage, known globally as the “Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity.” Just minutes from here, you’ll find some of the world’s most vibrant coral reefs and incredible marine life — perfect for diving or snorkeling.

Be sure to plan ahead or contact local dive and tour providers in advance to make the most of your stay.

Don’t forget to bring your own diving or snorkeling gear to make the most of this underwater paradise. Local gear rentals may be limited on the island.

Other things to note
Upon booking, you agree on the following Safety Reminders and House Rules:

As this is a family home, smoking is not allowed in the bedroom or bathroom. You’re welcome to smoke in the larger open areas—please do so respectfully and with consideration for others. Kindly dispose of any litter properly to prevent fire hazards.

The water on the property is mineral and deep-well sourced via a pump. Though it does wonders for the hair and skin, it is not safe for drinking—guests are advised to bring their own drinking water.

No restaurants or groceries on the island, but there are a few small local stores for basic needs. Still, it's best to bring your own food, water, and essentials.

Solar-powered cabin – Please do not bring high-wattage electrical appliances like hair dryers, electric kettles, or rice cookers, as they may damage the solar system.

We’ve got you covered! Basic kitchen essentials including a rice cooker are already available for your use.

Hammock safety – Strictly max 2 people in the hammock at a time.

Respect the island — take your trash with you or dispose of it responsibly. Please do not throw any waste into the ocean under any circumstances.

No loud parties late at night — let’s keep the peace for the island and its residents.

Island life includes the occasional bug! Be prepared.
