$320 / night
View & bookThe Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,600 islands stretched between the Pacific and the South China Sea — a country where every journey is defined by water. Hidden lagoons carve through limestone cliffs in Palawan, the Chocolate Hills roll across Bohol, and the Banaue rice terraces climb in green amphitheatres carved by hand a thousand years ago. What sets the Philippines apart is the warmth of its people. Filipino hospitality is genuine, English is widely spoken, and travelling here is remarkably easy for first-time visitors to Southeast Asia. From island-hopping in El Nido to swimming with sardine balls in Moalboal, the Philippines rewards travellers who want both adventure and stillness.
