The Philippines is an archipelago, so beach and island trips work best when the route is planned around practical connections. Boracay, Cebu, Bohol, Palawan and Manila each serve different purposes in a holiday.

Planning your route

Avoid adding too many islands to a short trip. Transfers, flight schedules and weather can affect how much usable holiday time remains, so a focused region can be a better starting point.

Where to start

Pick the island or region that best matches your priorities (beaches, water activities, nature or a city stop) before adding extra destinations.
