INTRODUCTION
CRIETA | MANIPON
Located off the
Eastern coast of
Luzon in the
Philippines, Balesin is
a 500 hectare tropical
island paradise with
7.3 kilometers of
pristine white sand
beaches. Located 21
kilometers southeast
of Polillo, Quezon
Province and just 60
nautical miles east of
Manila, Balesin is a
quick 25-minute plane
ride from Manila, yet
is a world completely
unto itself. Alphaland
Balesin Island Club is
your unique,
members-only, private
leisure getaway –
today and for
generations to come.
■ Weather: The island experiences sunny weather throughout most
months, typical for a tropical climate. Mild southwesterly winds
prevail from March to August while northeasterly winds occur from
September to February. The short rainy season starts in September
and ends in December, with heaviest rainfall occurring between
October and November. The island is an ideal location for beach
resort and outdoor leisure activities.
■ Sea Conditions: Except for rare occasions when the islands west
coast is disturbed by light northeast winds, the sea is generally calm
and ideal for water activities and passage of all types of sea craft.
■ History: Balesin Corporation has owned and controlled Balesin
Island since 1966. Shortly thereafter, in the mid 1970's, Balesin
developed and successfully operated a resort on the island offering
an exclusive "island-resortcommunity" concept in Philippine resort
development. In relation to this, 5% of the island's area, (20
hectares) was subdivided into 100 residential beachfront lots with
cuts of 2000 square meters each and were offered for sale to
select individuals. Many of these lot owners built vacation houses,
and regularly visited Balesin Island , as members of this exclusive
community. In what would be the precursor to today's "niche" or
"spa" resort approach to resort development, Balesin operated in
the late 70's and 80's as a very exclusive, resort accessible through
private or charter aircraft, but steadily attracting Japanese,
Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and European tourists.
■ Existing facilities: Today Balesin Corporation continues to operate a
resort on the island with a total of 20 rooms (in an assortment of
one bedroom, duplex, or suite cottages), a 6-hole golf course that
plays by the sea, two shell tennis courts, a swimming pool, ping
pong table, volleyball area and recreational fishing facilities. There
is also a clubhouse/dining room, a radio/ communications house,
and a power plant that uses diesel generators to power the resort
facilities
