Discover Philippines
Manila
Manila doesn’t just preserve its history, it lets you walk right through it. Nowhere else in Southeast Asia will you find a Spanish walled city standing in the heart of a modern capital, its baroque churches, cloisters, and plazas still part of daily life. Read More ...
Boracay
Boracay is the kind of island that’s hard to sum up in a single postcard. On one side, you have White Beach with its powder-fine sand, fiery sunsets, and evenings lit by fire dancers and cocktails. Read More ...
Cebu
Cebu is one of those places travellers often bookmark for “someday” a city they’ve heard of in passing, a name that floats between history, beaches, and festivals. But once you’re here, you realise it’s far more layered than you expected. Read More ...
Coron
If El Nido is the postcard and Puerto Princesa is the cultural heart, Coron is the storyteller. Its beauty isn’t just on the surface, it's in the quiet, the history, and the way time feels slower here.

Puerto Princesa
When you think of Puerto Princesa, you might picture the Underground River or Tubbataha Reef, but beyond these famous landmarks lies a city rich in history. Read More ...
Siargao
Siargao is one of those places people swear they’ll visit “one day,” and then end up planning their lives around so they can keep returning. Read More...
Bohol
Bohol is the kind of place that surprises you in the best way. Perhaps you’ll come here for the Chocolate Hills and the wide-eyed tarsiers (and you should) but what makes Bohol special is how much it offers without ever feeling rushed. Read More ...
El Nido
Welcome to El Nido, where towering limestone cliffs, crystal-clear lagoons, and turquoise waters create one of the most breathtaking views in the Philippines. What makes El Nido special is its sense of seclusion, each lagoon and beach feels like your own private paradise. Read More ...
