Philippines Travel Guide: Islands, Beaches & Lagoons

phillippines

With more than 7,000 islands, the Philippines rewards picking a region rather than trying to see it all — the lagoons and beaches here regularly rank among the best in the world, and each island group has its own distinct character.

Suggested Route (8–9 Days)

  • Days 1–4 — Palawan: El Nido’s limestone lagoons and Coron’s shipwreck diving, often considered the country’s most beautiful region.
  • Days 5–7 — Boracay: White Beach’s powder-fine sand and a lively beach town atmosphere.
  • Days 8–9 — Manila (transit): A short stop for Intramuros’ Spanish colonial old town before flying home.
