In the middle of Luzon’s Southern waters, just an hour off the coast of Nasugbu in Batangas lies Fortune Island. As little as it is, this lone island is hard to ignore with it boasting of creamy white shores of powdery sands and turquoise waters as cold as ice. Not only that the beach is beguiling to the eyes but its richness reaches hundred of meters deep, making its surrounding waters a favourite diving spot. And just when you think that’s all there is to this little island, wait until it charms its way to your heart, taking you into some unearthly place created only for the gods. Yes. Fortune Island is not your typical tropical paradise. It is that and more. Surreal. Mystique. Mythical. So if you need a quick beach fix with a goddess’ touch, simply head your way to our country’s own version of Athens.
