Discovering Paradise

The Philippines is home to over 7,000 islands, and hidden among them are some of the world's most spectacular beaches. While Boracay and El Nido draw the crowds, there's a whole world of pristine coastline waiting for the adventurous traveler.

1. Nacpan Beach, El Nido

Four kilometers of golden sand with hardly a soul in sight. The locals call it paradise, and we agree.

2. Kalanggaman Island, Leyte

A sandbar so perfect it looks photoshopped. Crystal-clear waters on both sides create an otherworldly experience.

3. Palaui Island, Cagayan

"The most beautiful place I've ever seen" - CNN Travel

Named one of the best beaches in the world, this remote island remains virtually untouched.
