The Philippines is a beach-lover’s paradise. Visit heart-stirringly beautiful Palawan, Boracay, Coron and El Nido to enjoy white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons with excellent snorkelling and diving. There are also epic inland jungle experiences, smouldering volcanoes and an abundance of wildlife. Don’t miss the Philippine tarsier, a tiny primate! Cebu is also an essential stop for culture enthusiasts who can explore its 16th-century Spanish colonial landmarks like the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino and San Pedro Fort.
The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world. Set apart from its Asian neighbours, it is the only predominantly Christian nation in Asia and has a different colonial background to other Asian nations with the Spanish arriving in the 16th century and handing over the country to America at the end of the 19th century.
