It’s only a few months until summer in the Philippines, and it’s no surprise if you’re already planning your next getaway with your family once you go back home to enjoy your well-deserved vacation. Have you already decided where you will spend your next retreat? Check out these emerging trendy beaches to get your wanderlust pumped up:
Batanes
While Batanes may be considered expensive, a trip to this place is truly worth every penny spent. Its cost is also the reason it has created a private atmosphere, and has stayed as preserved as it should be. Many people are really curious about Batanes that they shell out cash just to see its green landscapes. This province offers something completely different from the rest of the country—the topography, culture, houses, and churches are like no other.
Siargao
Siargao is famous because of its world-class surfing waves, but more than that, the island has created quite a community not only for surfers, but also for backpackers. Many travel experts believe it could be the next Bali because of its surfing and laid-back lifestyle.
San Vicente, Palawan
Palawan has always been the preferred destination of many Filipinos and foreigners alike because of the unmatched marvels it offers—from Puerto Princesa’s underground river, El Nido’s lagoons and twin beaches, to Coron’s clean lakes and marine sanctuaries. But beyond those three towns, people are now discovering another great spot of the province, the beaches of San Vicente. Its pristine and unspoiled white sand beaches are not the only thing that make it worthy of a visit. The people are also eco-friendly and they develop with sustainability in mind.
Dumaguete
This small town is the only city near lots of sanctuaries that are arguably among the world’s best. There’s Apo Island, Manjuyod Island, and the twin lakes of Danao and Balinsasayao. Aside from that, its lively yet peaceful vibe is also something every Filipino should experience—especially if what they look for is a genuine respite.
Baler
This place is becoming more and more popular among surfers, weekend travelers, and adventurers, mainly because of its proximity to Manila. Baler is not a place that needs rigorous planning, it’s a relatively easy place to get to. Aside from the waves, it’s also full of other interesting spots like churches and ancestral houses.
Siquijor
Fortunately, people are starting to let go of the stigma that once came with Siquijor. The place is blessed with diving sites, white sand beaches, as well as magnificent falls. The locals are nothing but nice and warm. Indeed, it’s the ideal destination for those who seek a quiet sanctuary, and it’s good that.
