Philippines
Seven thousand islands and Palawan limestone
The Philippines — seven thousand islands and the Palawan limestone.
Two anchors. Palawan (Amanpulo on Pamalican, El Nido Pangulasian) for the bucket-list private-island week. Boracay (Shangri-La) for the beach resort. The rest is by boat — and the diving (Tubbataha, Apo Reef) is among the best in Asia.
Long flights, gentle service, and a beach week that few Western travellers find.
A year in Philippines
Peak season, perfect Palawan, ideal diving.
Warm sea, fewer guests, soft rates.
Typhoon window — best avoided.
Season returns, ideal Thanksgiving weeks.
