The Philippines
are the latest addition to our
global network of hotels, so there’s no better time to
visit!
Its capital
Manila is a thriving metropolis. Modern and
colonial architecture intertwine, and combined with a
vibrant market life and museums, celebrate the country’s
unique culture.
If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and
bustle, escape to the spectacular rice terraces
surrounding Banaue. Described as the eighth
wonder of the world, these remarkable terraces were
carved into the hillside over 2000 years ago.
Other destinations worth visiting include
Boracay Island for its famous white beaches,
the ‘chocolate hills’ of Bohol in the Visayas and the
volcanic crater Lake Taal - southwest of Manila.
Not surprisingly, with over 7000 islands, the
Philippines are perfect for diving and snorkelling.
There are also wonderful hiking and trekking
opportunities in the Quezon Province, or you can explore
Palawan's Underground River, a long meandering
network of caves in Sabang's Puerto Princesa
Subterranean National Park. |
