Pandan Island is a small remote island in the South China Sea at only two kilometers offshore Sablayan on the west coast of Mindoro Occidental. The island is surrounded with nice stretches of white sanded beaches, lush tropical forest, great rock formations such as Spanish Nose and an excellent although simple resort named North Pandan Island Resort.

Its temperate waters and bright white sand offer excellent conditions for snorkeling and attract marine life, especially turtles are common. There are quite a few interesting dive sites around Pandan Island, but for more serious diving you should visit Apo Reef. This world famous Marine Park can be reached in approximately three hours, but for those who want to spend time in the water despite on deck, there are also many liveaboard trips that regularly go to Apo Reef. Pandan Island is a quiet island with no electricity and with Apo Reef nearby it is an excellent holiday vacation.
