Named after King Philip II of Spain, the Philippines is a Southeast Asian country which is officially known as the Republic of the Philippines. A cluster of 7,641 islands, the Philippines is globally renowned for housing numerous exciting beaches like Atwayan Beach, Sibuyan Beach and more. From pink to white and beige to blush, the Philippines is blessed with various hues of sands along with a unique pebble beach called Mabua Pebble Beach. These pristine shorelines are accompanied with one of the cleanest and emerald waters along with exotic vegetation for tropical forests.

Not only does the Philippines house the best beaches in the world, one would be amazed by limestone outcrops like Ariel’s Point and an unusual underground river like Puerto Princesa. The Chocolate Hills are another marvellous destination to witness in the dry season as they turn brown due to dried grass. Taal Volcano adds to the fun of exploration by an unusual sight of an active volcano, a caldera lake and Volcano Island. You must visit these unique places for an unmatchable experience along with spending some surreal time at one of the remote islands of the Philippines.

With unique places in the Philippines come surprising adventures which are bound to leave you spellbind.

Wreck diving is another exciting thing which you can indulge in Atwayan Beach which lets you explore the sunken artefacts from the era of World War II. Besides all these said things, one is sure to rejoice the authentic local cuisine along with the warm hospitality by the Filipano people.
