Destinations in Philippines
Destination Profile
Nearly 8,000 islands make up the Philippines. Some – Boracay, Cebu – are classic paradises with white-sand beaches and lanky coconut palms throwing their shade across hammocks and bamboo bars. Others are remote and wild, carved with the limestone karsts of the Caramoan Peninsula or blooming in countless shades of green at the Hundred Islands. Diving meccas like Palawan and Coron draw the water lovers with resplendent coral gardens filled with whale sharks, turtles, zebrafish, puffers – the list goes on. Going off-piste means finding surf-mad Siargao or waterfall-splashing Siquijor. Sticking to the cities involves exploring age-stained Spanish missions and steamy Asian food markets. Cheap flights to the Philippines typically land in Manila, from where internal connections reach oodles of other islands.
