Philippines

Seven thousand islands and Palawan limestone

Honeymoons·Diving·Beach weeks
The brief

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.
