If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” barefoot in the sand, with the ocean whispering in the background, you’re not alone. More and more couples are skipping the traditional hometown wedding for something more personal — and far more unforgettable.
Here in Palawan, one stretch of shoreline is quietly becoming a favorite among wedding insiders: Sabang Beach. Just a short trip from Puerto Princesa, this pocket of paradise is as beautiful as El Nido or Coron but far less crowded, with raw, unspoiled shores framed by dramatic mountains.
From Secret Paradise to Wedding Hotspot
Wedding planner Michelle Solomo Valdez, founder of MS Events Management, has seen trends shift toward destinations that feel intimate and immersive. “Sabang has this rare mix of natural beauty and exclusivity,” she says. “It’s perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel like a private celebration.”
Beyond its postcard-perfect beach, Sabang offers plenty to keep guests enchanted for days — from the world-famous Underground River to mangrove tours, waterfalls, ziplining, and island-hopping to secluded Isla Rita. “You can turn the wedding into a mini-vacation for everyone,” Michelle adds.

Where Luxury Meets the Shore
While the beach may be blissfully unspoiled, couples don’t have to rough it. On Sabang’s shoreline stands Four Points by Sheraton Palawan, Puerto Princesa, a beachfront resort where modern comfort blends effortlessly with the island’s tropical charm.
With a beachfront venue for up to 100 guests, a lawn and gazebo for 150, and a 300-capacity ballroom with a built-in LED wall, the hotel offers flexible spaces for any wedding vision. “Their team is professional, responsive, and they understand what makes destination weddings unique,” says Michelle.
A Taste of Palawan
Couples can infuse their big day with local culture — from live Cuyonon music to woven banig accents and shell-inspired décor. The menu can feature both Filipino and international cuisine, but Michelle suggests adding Palawan’s own lato (sea grapes) or the daring tamilok (woodworm) for an unforgettable talking point.
Packages That Take the Stress Out of Planning
Four Points offers packages for every style and budget, including:
– Balayong Intimate Package (small celebrations)
– Pawikan Wedding Package (50 guests)
– Pearl Wedding Package (100 guests, premium)
The Pearl option includes suite accommodations for the bride, a deluxe room for the groom, ceremony and reception set-up, a wedding cake, cocktail hour, and even a couple’s massage — plus a pre-wedding photoshoot on the hotel grounds.
For a limited time, couples can enjoy ₱10,000 to ₱30,000 off select packages. There’s also a honeymoon package worth ₱45,000++, complete with romantic dinners, spa discounts, and late checkout.
Make It Now, Pay Later
BDO credit cardholders can take advantage of the “Celebrate Now, Pay Later” offer: 0% interest for three months on packages worth ₱500,000 or more, plus special discounts on rooms, dining, and spa services (until December 15, 2025).
Why Couples Love It Here
Destination weddings come with challenges — unpredictable weather, guest logistics, finding suppliers — but Michelle says working with a Palawan-based planner and the Four Points team makes all the difference. “They go the extra mile to customize and accommodate requests. Couples can actually relax and enjoy the moment.”
With its untamed beauty, modern amenities, and dedicated team, Sabang is ready to become Palawan’s next wedding capital. And with Four Points by Sheraton Palawan as your venue, all you have to do is show up, say “I do,” and let the island do the rest.
