While the restriction measures across the globe due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has helped us get some ‘me-time’, we have to admit, most of us miss going out and exploring new things and places, don’t we?
As the world gradually reopens, the idea of traveling again is finally somehow just across the horizon. We are somewhat seeing the end of the tunnel in this bout, making us hopeful that in no time, we can finally go on adventures again.
Until then, however, let us just think about the places that we can explore soon—with beauty we want to fully take in. The Filipino Times lists down island destinations that guarantee to make you fall in love at first sight.

There’s a reason why the World Spa Awards recognized Maldives as the top spa destination on the earth. Home to several tropical islands, this marvelous region comprises coral atolls in the clear sea blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Each corner offers spectacular breath-taking views that will truly rejuvenate you.
The Philippines
In a nation as amazing and as naturally beautiful as the Philippines, you can be assured of a perfect vacation, especially with its pristine beaches, exquisite mountains, and probably the friendliest people on the planet.

Andaman- Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep India
Loaded with beautiful sparkling beaches, lagoons of turquoise blue waters, and rich history, Andaman and Nicobar Islands are little cuts of heaven concealed 1,400 kilometers from the east bank of India.

Meanwhile, Lakshadweep Islands are synonymous to lush palm forests, plentiful coral reefs, and stunning white-sand coastlines. These superbly isolated specks of land are known for exceptional snorkeling and scuba diving sites thanks to its colorful marine life. Lakshadweep isn’t the simplest destination to reach, but that is exactly what makes it more charming.
