Philippines in a Nutshell

Consisting of over 7000 islands, The Philippines holds the promise of being every beach lover’s paradise. Some of the best-unspoilt beaches – and luxury resorts – in South East Asia are found in this welcoming country, namely the ones located in idyllic islands such as Palawan, Boracay, Cebu, Negros and Bantayan. But the country’s charms don’t stop there: apart from the warm hospitality extended by the Filipinos, travellers will notice a strong Spanish influence that translates into a culture of fiestas, ancient Christian churches and elegant colonial architecture. The Philippines capital city of Manila is more and more a very happening city, with a well-reputed nightlife, top-notch museums, hip restaurants and world-class hotels.
