Why you'll love it

Palawan is a long, wild island province in the western Philippines, with limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and some of Asia's most beautiful beaches. It gets Triptakeo's top score for beaches and nature, and 9 out of 10 for romance, so it's a dream pick for island hopping and honeymoons.

The best time to visit Palawan is November to May, the dry season, with calm seas for boat trips. The wet season brings more rain and rougher water.

El Nido is the base for island-hopping tours through lagoons and limestone islands. Coron, to the north, is known for its lakes and wartime shipwreck dives. Near Puerto Princesa, the Underground River is a UNESCO World Heritage Site explored by boat.

Palawan suits couples, honeymooners and nature lovers.
