Nici Island is an island in the Philippines situated 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from the main town of Culion in the central part of the Calamian Islands[1] in the province of Palawan in the Philippines. The Calamian Islands are known for their many natural attractions, being a popular attraction for tourists and cruise lines.[2]
The island has a house on top of the hill[3] and is near the location of a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed underwater resort that was planned to be built by Nickelodeon.[4] The project was eventually cancelled due to environmental concerns.[5]
