    5 Best Philippine Islands



    The Philippines consists of 7,107 different Islands scattered throughout the country, and each one of them is just as amazing as the rest! See which of these beautiful Philippine Islands appeal most to you. Here are top 5 best Philippine Islands.

    El Nido, Palawan

    The Island has been dubbed by CNN as the Philippines’ best destination for beaches and islands for vacationists and tourists. Since the Island is not highly urbanized, it is obvious that most of the islands’ natural ecosystem is still intact and unharmed. Palawan Island has several white sandy beaches. Towering cliffs and blue lagoons can also be found. One of Palawan’s renowned beaches is Bacuit Bay. If you’re into diving, then this is the right place for you. The Bay is abundant in marine life, namely; dugong (sea cows), manta rays, turtles, and white sharks. The site is said to have more than 30 diving sites with 6 to 30 meters in depth.

    Siargao Islands, Surigao del Norte

    Located in the northeastern part of Mindanao, Siargao Island is known as the surf capital of the Philippines. Surfing competitions are held twice a year in Buddha’s Surf resort. If you are the type of tourist who wants peace and quiet, Siargao Island has many isolated beaches between the surf island and the town. Such beaches are Daku, Guyam, and Naked Islands. There you can find several streaks of white sands that stretch up to several kilometers, hermit crabs, and the nice locals living there. These beaches are untouched by the masses, so savor its peace and quiet while you still can. The island also has a natural cave reserve, the Sohoton Cave.

    Boracay Island

    We’ve all heard about this island. This is where most of the tourists go to. The island is always packed with locals and tourists, especially during the night, where nightlife and hard drinks are served. The island is located in Aklan Province, Visayas. One of the highlights in Boracay is Ariel’s Point. It has five levels of cliff diving sites, turquoise waters, mangrove forests, and volcanic rock formations. If you are an adventure-seeking person, then come to Ariel’s point and take a big leap off a 13 – meter cliff! If you’re too scared though, you can always go for other activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and indulge your appetite from the resort’s dinner buffet.

    Coron Island

    Also located in Palawan, Coron Island is surrounded by large granite rock formations. The island is known for the several wrecked ships found there since World War II, which are a good spot for snorkeling. There is also an islet which consists of nothing but rock formations. The Kayangan Lake, found within, has been named as the cleanest lake in Asia.

    Sabtang Island

    It is located southwest of Batan Island in the northern part of Luzon. The island is a perfect spot for nature lovers because it is untouched by the masses. It has several white sand beaches and mountains perfect for trekking.

    El Nido is lovely, super snorkelling off the islands. Honda Bay - also in Palawan - is nice.

    Boracay's a party place, but check out if water quality has improved, and if you enjoy being with many people.

    Good food though, but for me Romblon Island is pretty and unspoilt
