Boracay

Palawan
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Palawan offers a feast of breathtaking geological formations. From its subterranean river to its limestone cliffs sculpted by nature. Let the island’s unspoiled beaches of Coron and El Nido enchant you with underwater meadows of seagrass and coral reefs where sea turtles, manatee-like dugongs, dolphins, and endangered giant clams dwell.
Cebu
Cebu, the Queen City of the South, is where Philippine history comes alive with the first discovery of the island by Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. The Spanish continued to send more expeditions across the archipelago and eventually named the country "Las Islas Filipinas" in tribute to their king, Philip II.
Siargao
Find a sustainable surf scene in Siargao, the island home of Cloud 9, heralded as one of the world’s best surf spots. The eco-minded visitor will enjoy yoga and wellness retreats, bright white beaches, a buzzing good scene, and epic surfing.
