With over 7,000 islands and only around 2,000 of them inhabited, the Philippines is an explorers dream. That said, one group of islands are so stunningly beautiful and still largely undiscovered, are the Palawan Islands. The colours of the islands are genuinely that naturally emerald-green and aqua blue bright and vibrant, similar to the atolls in the Maldives, with no need for any filter whatsoever. The food diverse and delicious (it is becoming a foodie mecca) and the marine life rich and abundant making it a snorkelling and diving mecca (aside from the amazing lagoons, there are also many WWII Japanese wrecks to explore). Hop on a private plane from Manila to the private island of Pamalican and stay at Amanpulo. There you will find 6.5km of icing sugar beach with a myriad of activities including diving, snorkelling with sea turtles, sailing, yoga and fishing. Go now and experience a barefoot chic castaway dreamy holiday before the secret is out!
