Lakawon, also called Llacaon, is a 13-hectare (32-acre), banana-shaped island off the coast of Cadiz in the northern portion of Negros Occidental, a province in Western Visayas of the Philippines.
A white sand beach resort on the island, a family-run business, is a popular destination for both local and foreign tourists.
Lakawon's white sand beach is claimed to rival that of Boracay, a popular island resort off the coast of Aklan in Panay.
In stark contrast to its more famous counterpart, however, Lakawon has a smaller influx of tourists, and the island is not commercially developed.
Cadiz Viejo, which is the nearest mainland point to the island, may be accessed via private or public transportation.
