The Beauty of Palawan
Palawan is home to nature reserves on both land and sea, with dolphins just offshore, marine gardens of giant clam, sea turtles nesting on white sand beaches, 600 species of butterflies, and lush palm forest like a Gilligan’s Island fever dream.
Palawan offers breathtaking coastal scenery. The island is famous for its pristine white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and spectacular rock formations. You would be amazed at the sight of iconic destinations such as El Nido and Coron, with their karst cliffs, hidden lagoons and colourful coral reefs. Whether kayaking along secluded lagoons, scuba diving among World War II Japanese shipwrecks in Coron, or simply lounging on a secluded beach, Palawan opens onto breathtaking coastal vistas around every bend.
El Nido town is your gateway to the breathtaking Bacuit Archipelago, home to 45 islands and islets, each with unique rock formations, hidden lagoons, and pristine beaches. Recognized worldwide as one of the top island destinations, El Nido town will wow you with its dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life.
"It’s no wonder Palawan ranked as the most beautiful island in the world this year, as the clear aquamarine water, limestone cliffs, and lagoons of the island province of the Philippines are only the most basic highlights," says contributing editor Cynthia Drescher.
