Philippines Luxury Guide

The Philippines, a tropical archipelago of thousands islands fascinate with awesome unspoilt nature, beautiful jade rice fields, and some of the best luxury beach resorts and most thrilling diving sites in Asia.

The islands are also renowned for their friendly and peaceful people while the recent years have seen a remarkable rise in popularity as romantic and honeymoon getaways. Long beaches with soft white sand and azure waters, private island resorts, and a wide diversity of adventurous activities and attractions all provide the perfect setting for couples in love. What beats other popular honeymoon destinations around the world is of course that everything in the Philippines is much more affordable.

Especially the exotic islands such as Boracay and Palawan, are perfect for honeymoon trips and relaxing vacations by the beach. Whether you are looking for indulging in snorkeling and scuba diving, adventurous explorations and kayaking or just relaxing by the beach with a refreshing cocktail on hand these islands got you covered! 

Additionally, the exotic island Cebu is a perfect base for travellers looking to charter a luxury yacht and visit as many islands possible. Belonging to the awesome island group of Central Visayans, Cebu Island is surrounded by 150 smaller islands and islets, making your explorations to nearby islands extremely easy. While the island of Mactan, known for having some of the finest 5-star luxury resorts in the Philippines and popular for its diving sites and beautiful beaches, is connected by a bridge from Cebu City.

On the other hand, if you are looking for excellent restaurants, elegant bars, and stylish shops then look no further. Manila City, the capital of the Philippine, and its suburb cities are without doubt fantastic destinations for shopping and cosmopolitan getaways in the Philippines. 

Manila has surprisingly become a shopping mecca during the recent years, with more and more shopping malls popping up around the area, while it is also home to some of the world’s largest malls.  Especially in Makati, a city in Metro Manila’s region and the country’s financial hub, you will encounter the high-end shopping mall Greenbelt where a plethora of department stores, boutiques, restaurants and entertainment options are all under a well air-conditioned roof!

Smart tip:

Combine city breaks with beach getaways by spending your first one-two days in the Capital of the Philippines, Manila, and then head to the exotic islands! It really worth to spend a whole day exploring the city’s attractions and especially the historic walled area of Intramuros city and the oldest Chinatown in the world, Binondo.
