Store your luggage around El Nido with BounceÂ
There are dozens of beach towns and island getaways in the Philippines, and each has its own unique angle to draw international travelers in from every corner of the globe. With hundreds of islands (some big, some small) across the country to choose from, you’ll want to figure out your travel aims and do some research before you book. If you’re looking for a slightly remote destination surrounded by stunning nature, you should consider El Nido, which is situated in Palawan.Â
With connecting flights from Manila to Puerto Princesa, Palawan’s capital and largest city, it’s fairly easy to reach this secluded island getaway (there’s also El Nido Airport, but it’s quite small). El Nido is famous for its remarkable natural beauty, as this coastal town is lined with soft sandy beaches surrounded by coral reefs along with lagoons that you can kayak or snorkel through. The inland terrain is also a draw, with lush jungle lined with hiking trails and topography that draws plenty of outdoorsy travelers to its sores. Some of the nearby attractions include Seven Commandos Beach, and Nagkalit-Kalit Falls, both of which are walking distance from the main town. The limestone cliffs that tower over parts of the shoreline are especially beautiful, and you can take boat tours to admire these dramatic landscapes.Â
