9Boracay
This tiny island is a short plane trip away from Manila. Of course, it’s your quintessential Filipino island – as gorgeous as can be with pristine white sand beaches, blue water and a relaxed vibe. Little wonder that Boracay was voted the planet’s best island in 2012 by Travel +Leisure. While Bulabog Beach is known as the ultimate water sports destination, Mount Luho has a vantage point observation deck. Witness the region’s fascinating marine life such as reefs along with shipwrecks, offshore.
