Exploring The Philippines: a sun-kissed archipelago rich in culture
The Philippines: more than 7,600 tropical islands fringed with golden beaches, studded with alluring mega-cities and blessed with a mosaic of cultural and natural heritage. Your story begins at a fabulous spa hotel in Manila, where Spanish colonial architecture and fascinating museums blend seamlessly with soaring skyscrapers. Then head south to Panglao and a Philippines beach resort celebrated for its powder-soft sands and world-class diving in pristine seas rich with turtles and dolphins.

Plan your visit to The Philippines
Whether you seek the hush of the sea or a city alive with rhythm, The Philippines captivates. Manila, a radiance of golden bay sunsets and rich history, draws you in. But also make time for the islands, where days stretch long amid soft sand and azure waters.
Explore the myriad charms of Metro Manila
Manila’s skyline reflects its fascinating backstory – tour the city to discover landmark Spanish fortifications and decorative Chinese shop-houses, sleek Art Deco theatres and glittering glass towers. Souvenir hunting? Roam Binondo’s colourful Chinatown for delicate, hand-carved jade jewellery.
Immerse yourself in Panglao's underwater world
Escape the bustle and bask in the sun on a private beach lapped by turquoise seas. Slip gently beneath the water to float over protected coral reefs, or book a cruise to neighbouring Balicasag, where you might spot dolphins skimming over the waves or Hawksbill turtles gliding amid the reefs.
