Luxury Holidays
in The Philippines

The Philippines consist of over 7000 islands, many of them inhabited by friendly hospitable people and indigenous tribes. The archipelago is divided into three major island groups - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The Luzon islands include Luzon itself, Mindoro, Palawan, Marinduque and other islands. Luzon is the largest and most populated island in the Philippines. It is home to many lakes, rivers and bays plus several mountain ranges such as the Cordillera Moutain Range, Sierra Madre and the Zambales Mountains. For genuine historical interest visit the city of Vigan which is one of the oldest towns in the Philippines and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This Spanish Colonial town boasts cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, antique shops and dark-wood mansions. Palawan Island is rich with exotic wildlife and visitors can see endangered animals at Calauit Wildlife Sanctuary. You could take a tour of the Puerto Princesa Underground River or spend a day island hopping with stops for a spot of snorkelling followed by a lunch of fresh local food and perfectly cooked fish. Bohol is famous for its Chocolate Hills as the hills take on a cocoa-coloured hue during the summer months. It‘s also home to tarsiers - small leaping primates with adorable wide eyes. The Philippines is renowned as a top diving spot and there are PADI dive schools where you can learn to dive or improve your existing skills. Alona Beach on Panglao island is popular with beginners as there's an abundance of sea life visible in the shallow waters. Experienced divers will love exploring the depths and discovering the sunken Japanese warships and planes - truly fascinating.
