Philippines
Home to more than 7000 islands
Welcome to The Philippines
Untouched natural beauty is what defines The Philippines. It’s a massive archipelago of countless islands surrounded by pristine, clear blue waters. Every island is its own paradise, and many of them look like they came straight out of Jurassic Park. The mountains, lagoons, and beaches are some of the best in the world.
Travel tips
Best sights in The Philippines
Manilla (capital)
The capital of The Philippines is a city of fancy hotels and a huge selection of bars and restaurants. It’s also the first place you’ll get to when you arrive in the Philippines.
Boracay (442km from Manila)
Boracay is all about fantastic beaches and resorts. Philippine beaches are some of the best in the world, and you’ll find the best one – White beach – at this beautiful island.
Palawan (793km from Manila)
Palawan is an epic island, and most notably home to Coron – a picture-perfect area of lagoons where you can scuba dive, snorkel, and hike small but gorgeous mountains overlooking the ocean.
Banaue rice fields (372km from Manila)
Banaue is home to the Batad Rice Terraces, which are an incredible UNESCO World Heritage site. They are one of the real draws of The Philippines and a true look into the local history and culture.
Siargao (762km from Manila)
Siargao is the kind of tropical island you see on post cards. With beach resorts, turquoise waters on every side, and long stretches of wetland, Siargao ticks every box that defines a paradise island.
Bohol (919km from Manila)
At Bohol, you’l find two main draws: the Chocolate Hills and the adorable tarsier that lives in the forests. It’s a gorgeous island of chill and friendly locals, and a very laid-back way of life.

Best time to visit
The Philippines is pleasant to visit most of the year, but if you want to catch the driest months then November to April will guarantee you the best weather for exploring their many islands. It’s dry, warm, and not too humid.
The chance of rain becomes quite high June-August and the weather is humid. The rain normally comes in short, sharp bursts so if you want to come in the off-season, you’ll find quieter beaches and lower rates.
