Palawan, World’s Best Island
The Philippines did not garner any top position in Travel + Leisure World’s Best Islands for 2015. But for 2016, three islands, Palawan, Cebu and Boracay, clinched top ranks from the magazine readers. Palawan had an over-all score of 93.71. This is the second time that the island made it to the top list. The last time was in 2013.
One T + L writer, Melani Lieberman, described the island as a”place where visitors are greeted with mountains rising out of impossibly turquoise waters, where shipwrecks and reefs make for prime scuba diving and snorkelling. Palawan is known for its five-mile-long underground river regarded as one of the world’s wonders of nature.”
Make Cebu Your Next Destination
Cebu is one place where a traveller need not spend much to have fun. The place has everything from sophisticated malls for shopping to wonderful beaches that do not require much time to go. One can go hiking, dive from a waterfall or swim with the whale sharks. You can do much in this island located at the central part of the Philippines.
The Island Paradise, Boracay

The place is ideal for beach bums and those who just want to relax and keep off from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Accommodation of all sorts can be found in this island paradise making it convenient for everyone.
