Island Life in the Philippines

Philippines

The immaculate Amanpulo on Pamalican Island has long been an Original Travel favourite, but that left 7,099 other islands in the Philippines just begging to be turned into luxurious eco-retreats.

Many of the islands don’t even have a name, and the Philippines seems to float on its own in the Pacific. Separated from Indonesia and Indochina by miles of ocean, the country's history is relatively undramatic; unlike many of its neighbours, it has not seen the rise and fall of dynasties. This may be due to the archipelago’s linguistic, cultural and racial diversity – over 111 dialects are spoken in its various regions.

Whatever the reason, slowly but surely, the world’s finest hoteliers are realising the potential this island nation offers, with beautiful untouched beaches and wonderful diving and snorkelling.

We predict the Philippines are going to be the Far Eastern destination to watch over the next few years.
