Given the wealth of unique and beautiful islands, deciding exactly where to go in the Philippines can be a tough decision, especially for first-time visitors.

    If you're looking for sun, sand, and snorkeling, the best places to go in the Philippines are undoubtedly Boracay, a world-famous island known for its paradisiacal beach, or El Nido, a pristine ecosystem of white-sand beaches, hidden lagoons, and teeming reefs.
