A favourite portion of my travels, and possibly home to the best beaches I’ve encountered, the Philippines is an amazing country that is often overlooked by travellers to Southeast Asia. The majority of my time was spent on the island of Palawan, one of the least developed and most ecologically impressive provinces within the developing nation. The highlight of Palawan is the area around El Nido and the Bacuit Archipelago, where white-sand beaches fringe limestone cliffs, surrounded by lovely coral reefs that remain healthy relative to many other parts of SE Asia.
