Boracay Island - Aklan - Philippines

Boracay will always be the BEST beach place in the hearts of many Filipinos. The island is a feast for the senses – there’s gourmet food, a variety of cuisines, luxurious hotels, exotic spas, adventure sports, and the best nightlife on any island.

People go to Boracay not only for the powdery white sands and the energetic nightlife, but also to experience the bohemian beach spirit. This spirit lives on in the people who have decided to stay in Boracay despite the overdevelopment on this small island off the coast of Caticlan.

The people of Boracay are now more eco-conscious, and eco-friendly programs are being rolled out to protect the beauty of Boracay for the next generation

Entalula Island, El Nido, Palawan - Philippines

Entalula Island is the best beach island in the Bacuit Bay group of islands in El Nido, Palawan. It is a small, secluded area with limestone cliffs protecting the beach.

It is a private island owned by El Nido Resorts, but a small portion of the beach can be publicly accessed by island-hopping tourists from El Nido town.

The beach has sugar-fine, white sand that could very well match Boracay’s famous sand. I'm glad they decided not to build a resort on the island to maintain its pristine charm.

The best part of the Entalula Island experience is that you can request the resort to arrange lunch or dinner there for you. That way, you get to enjoy the beach privately and you can savor the time spent with your group or just your special someone.

Long Beach - San Vicente - Palawan - Philippines

Long Beach in San Vicente, Palawan is said to be the last beach frontier in the Philippines, boasting a 14-kilometer stretch of white sand that can rival the best beach destinations in the world. Its beauty is raw and undeveloped (no big resorts yet).

The runway of the area’s international airport has already been developed, meaning it can accommodate the big international planes. People are just waiting for the terminal to be built so that the first official flights to San Vicente can commence.

A lot of people have already invested in the beach lots, but its future remains speculative. On a positive note, this time, we get the chance to develop a beach destination with resorts far away from the shoreline and constructed in an eco-friendly way.

One day, I hope to run barefoot across that entire 14-kilometer stretch – from end to end!

Daplac Cove, Boayan Island, San Vicente, Palawan-Philippines

Daplac Cove is relatively undiscovered and rarely talked about, except maybe for the controversies regarding its ownership. I had the pleasure of visiting the island and the small solar-powered house built by Ditchay Roxas. I was blown away by the beauty of the entire cove.

Just imagine: fine, white Boracay-like sand beside aquamarine waters. You can actually open your eyes underwater and it wouldn’t hurt since there is a mix of fresh and seawater.

Daplac Cove also has a vibrant marine life. Sometimes, you can view the cove’s sea inhabitants very close to the shore.

The island is also a nature preserve for the endangered Tabon Bird and the vulnerable Palawan hornbills and eagles. The people of Boayan are protecting the island from illegal fishing and illegal cutting of the kulasi trees

Matukad Island - Caramoan - Camarines Sur - Philippines

Matukad Island offers a wonderful combination of the great features of other beaches. Its sandy beach can be compared to Boracay; its limestone cliffs are like those in Palawan; and its location in a group of islands is similar to that of Hundred Islands. It is located across the popular Gota Beach, which is the location shoot for the TV show Survivor. I like how the island is undeveloped and that it will remain that way.

From Matukad, Laos Island can be found nearby. This is quite a unique place because it has two beach coves that face different sides of the island. You can stand in the middle of the intersection of the beach and you'll have different beach views on your left and on your right. Two limestone cliffs anchor the beach, adding to a visual feast you'll never forget.

Mahabang Buhangin - Camarines Norte - Philippines

The next beach frontier: Calaguas Islands. The place is far from being developed but a lot of backpackers are already visiting the island. You have to cross open seas for two hours onboard a big fishing boat (which could carry a carabao from one island to another).

Once you arrive in Mahabang Buhangin, you'll be captivated by its raw beauty. Its long, uninhabited cove gives you the feeling that you have arrived on the set of The Beach. If you plan to swim, be careful because the beach slopes down drastically. If you want to stay overnight on the island, you have to pitch a tent.

This is perfect for groups of adventurous people who want to bond while enjoying nature. Your only source of entertainment would be your shared life stories and funny misadventures along the way.

Club Paradise Beach - Coron - Palawan - Philippines

The Calamianes Group of Islands in Coron, the northern part of Palawan, is known for its dive spots instead of its beaches. However, there is one island that seems to be blessed with all the white sand that surrounds the area.

The island has a fully developed resort called Club Paradise, which offers urban amenities like good buffet food and modern beach huts (that open to the beach). There, you can also find a dive resort, a videoke room, a jungle bar, and conference rooms for team building sessions.

But the best parts are the hiking trail to the topmost part of the island, the little nature museum, and the secret beach

Balesin - Polillo Island - Quezon - Philippines

Balesin is a forgotten island. This used to be a popular beach escape during the Marcos era. All developments stopped at one point in time and the island became less accessible. There were only two ways to get there: via a 4-hour boat ride or a cost-prohibitive charter flight.

The Balesin resort was not well-maintained and the food needed a lot of improvement. Soon, the island resort was forced to cease operations. With its halted development, the beauty of its beaches became the centerpiece again.

Balesin’s beach is safe for kids because it slopes gradually. I was actually able to visit the place before it closed down. I remember hopping from one secluded beach cove to another on foot. It was very relaxing -- all I did was lie down on the beach and enjoy nature’s splendor.

Kota Beach - Malapascua - Bantayan - Cebu - Philippines

My first beach love: the twin island beaches of Malapascua and Bantayan. We would often go on an inter-island boat cruise on a rented banca just to experience both beaches on one trip.

Kota Beach in Bantayan is like a corner beach. There, you can view nature on both left and right sides – a greatmuni-muni spot to reflect on your life and its many aspects.

Malapascua Beach, on the other hand, is the “undeveloped Boracay”, where you can enjoy the beach without the noise of overdevelopment and the nightlife. It's a place where you can escape, write a book, or simply lounge around incognito.

Beaches in the Philippines 1-Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon in Maira-ira was once the hidden beach that was considered the “Boracay of the North”. 

It has a natural cove that turns turquoise blue when seen from a high vantage point. The lush foliage and rice fields surrounding it made its pristine condition even more charming.

Patong Bay Garden Resort - Phuket - Thailand

This 71-room family owned and run hotel provides a blend of traditional Thai courtesy and hospitality with comfortable surroundings, creating an informal atmosphere in which you can relax and enjoy yourself. 






The magic of this hotel begins with its location, opposite the beach, in the middle of the two miles of powdery white sand that is Patong Bay. The bay, which is gently lapped by the clear waters of the Andaman Sea, is the largest and best-known resort in Phuket.

Dusit Thani Laguna - Phuket - Thailand

Situated on Bang Tao Beach, the Dusit Laguna Phuket is a great beachside resort with all the facilities you'd come to expect from Laguna. You can enjoy the swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness centre, recreation centre, a recommendable kids' club, games room, a three hole pitch and putt, water sports and the Angsana Spa all without leaving the hotel grounds. 




Guests at Dusit Laguna Resort can also benefit from an 18-hole golf course, outdoor adventure training centre and horse riding close to the hotel. The entire hotel faces the quiet sandy beach. Enjoy a sundowner watching waves crash ashore with the sun sinking slowly into the golden sea.

Westin Siray Bay Resort - Phuket - Thailand

Escape to The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket, a place where you can awaken your senses and enrich your body, mind & spirit. Our idyllic hillside location is on a private cove overlooking Siray Bay and all 259 guest rooms and suites offer balconies and breathtaking ocean views. The sandy beach and warm ocean are just steps away, or choose from three outdoor pools for a rejuvenating dip. Feel renewed with Westin's signature 'Heavenly Bed' in all guestrooms.

Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

Katathani Phuket Beach Resort rates fourth on our best beach resort list for its wonderful setting on Kata Noi Beach - a white-sand paradise. Year round, this resort has the best of both worlds; the smooth-as-glass sea from November to May and an unforgettable seascape the rest of the year. Kata Noi Beach is away from the crowds so there you will be able to make full use of the 850-metre long strand and revel in the hotel's many facilities, which include six swimming pools, three Jacuzzis, a fantastic spa, no less than six restaurants, tennis courts, cooking classes and much, much more.

Sample delicious Thai and international food, fine wines and great espresso at one of Renaissance’s five food and beverage outlets or simply lay back and relax poolside, taking in the beach and sea views.

Impiana Resort & Spa - Phuket - Thailand

Facing Patong's white sandy beach and fringed with tropical greenery, this first-class boutique resort haven is situated at the heart of Phuket's most popular beach. There are no roads separating you from your single storey cabana, allowing you to be closer to the sublime beauty of this… the perfect getaway. As the saying goes, 'no one sleeps closer to Patong Beach than Cabana guests

Andaman White Beach Resort - Phuket - Thailand

Andaman White Beach Resort: the name says it all. The beach in question is Nai Thorn, located in the quieter north of Phuket, away from all the noise and well, tourists. Expect crystal-clear azure-blue sea and fine pure white sand. This beach is usually deserted apart from resort guests as access is only through the resort or by sea. The 54-room resort is a self-contained beach lover's paradise but it doesn't stop there: you can avail yourself of the resort's spa, go scuba diving, work out at the gym or simply soak up the rays on this beautiful beach then pamper yourself at one of the four restaurants. This area is isolated and rugged and a far cry from crowded Patong. Carpe diem in the best way possible; by chilling out at Andaman White Beach Resort.

Amari Coral Beach - Phuket - Thailand

Situated on a secluded private beach at the Southern end of Patong Beach, the Amari Coral Beach Phuket offers a unique location with panoramic views over Patong Bay. The resort's unique location means absolutely everything is within easy reach. From the quiet of the two swimming pools and a secluded small 'private' beach to the colourful action in nearby Patong, where there's all manner of watersports, together with a wide variety of shopping, entertainment and dining experiences.

Lakawon Beach - Cadiz City - Philippines

Lakawon Island Beach Resort

Last April 2005, we spent our Holy week at Lakawon Island in Neg Occ off Cadiz City... A beautiful private Island, i think with just 2 km stretch.. sort of like a huge sandbar, with the beach at the front and back of your room. Beautiful and laid back indeed! I just wanted to share some pictures of this nice and serene place.

Lakawon Island Beach Resort is located in Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, Philippines.

Costa Aguada - Guimaras Island - Philippines

Costa Aguada

2 people found this review helpful

I was initially hesitant going to costa aguada because it was not in the main island of guimaras and thought i might miss a "true guimaras" experience. boy, i was glad i changed my mind! (i booked only the night before going there, yet they were able to immediately accommodate us) the place is really beautiful. 

if you want to really get away and relax, this is where you should be. the island is practically all yours. and the staff were fabulous! they were all smiles and made our stay memorable. 

when i told them we were there to celebrate our (me and my mom) birthdays, i wasn't really expecting anymore than a greeting, but they surprised us with the yummiest cake and serenaded us with a sweet bday song. 

i will definitely come back and stay longer and truly enjoy the place. Oh, and food was great too. Not as pricey as i thought they would be in such an exclusive resort.
