Philippines Hotels & Travel Guide

The Philippines is the place many believe to be the real inspiration behind the Alex Garland’s novel – The Beach (The author lived and travelled there). If you’re looking for a new Asia experience, the archipelago consisting of over 7,107 islands is well worth considering. The world’s 12th most populous country, it has a population of around 90 million people, the majority of which are renowned for their great sense of rhythm and talented vocal chords. 

The country is blessed with white sand beaches, pale blue seas, amazing corals and fish, lagoons, mountains, rivers, rice terraces and volcanoes. Days can be spent exploring the diverse and sometimes challenging terrain, en route to cascading waterfalls and drastic caves. The fine sand beaches that fringe the Pacific Ocean offer the ideal base for a relaxing holiday, perfect for lounging and taking in the delightful surroundings.
