Fortune Island

Fortune Island is a small island located about 14 kilometers off the coast of Nasugbu in Batangas, Philippines. Once developed as an exclusive resort in the 1990s, it is now known for its abandoned Grecian-inspired ruins, including columns and statues resembling the Acropolis. The island features white sand beaches, limestone cliffs, and clear waters popular for swimming, snorkeling, and diving near historic shipwreck sites.

Visitors reach Fortune Island by a 45-90 minute boat ride from Nasugbu mainland. The island offers a compact area to explore with white sand beaches, turquoise waters, limestone cliffs, and the iconic abandoned Grecian ruins with pillars, staircases and statues overlooking the sea. There are swimming and snorkeling areas, viewpoints for photography, and trails around the ruins. Facilities are very basic and the island is typically visited as a day trip with no overnight accommodation.

Fortune Island was developed in the early 1990s as the Fortune Island Resort, a private luxury resort featuring Grecian-inspired architecture including columns and statues modeled after the Acropolis. The resort later ceased operations and the structures were abandoned, leaving the ruins seen today. Offshore waters are also known for the wreck of the Spanish galleon San Diego, which sank in 1600 near the island.

The island is known locally as a distinctive cultural attraction for its Grecian-style ruins, which have become an iconic photography location and symbol of Nasugbu's coastal tourism, blending modern resort architecture with scenic island landscape.
