Malalison Island

Explore the "Little Boracay" - Malalison

Malalison or Mararison is the new summer getaway and vacation escapade among travelers and "bakasyunista" today, found to the west of the mainland in the municipality of Culasi. It is an untouched 55-hectare island blessed with its picture perfect mountainm ridges, refined white sand beaches for swimming, crystal clear waters teeming with aquatic flora and fauna,and hill tops perfect for short trekking that enable you to view Malalison in its finest grandeur. It has also its mini-rainforest where yellow-naped oriole bird(tukha), fruit bats and carnivorous pitcher plant are found. Malalison is also a home to a small fishing community.

At the back of the island are grassy hills that visitors can hike for stunning views of the mainland and nearly islands, including the Nablag Islet which one can walk via a sandbar during low tide.

Malalison is said to be with superstitious origin. According to local folklore, Malalison is one of three islands(including Maningning and Batbatan) believed to have been the banished daughters of Mt. Madjaas(considered the highest peak in Panay).

Although most visitors come in the island for day trips, they can also camp at the beach or stay at the villager's multipurpose hall for the night if they want to experience the total exploration in the island. The island does not have round-the-clock access to electricity, but that is what exactly makes the island perfect for those who want to unplug.

I personally experience the fun and adventure in Malalison Island. I can say it's a perfect place for summer escapade and soul searching for the whole family, friends, colleagues, love ones or you alone.

What are you waiting for? Live up and enjoy life!
