2El Nido, Palawan, Philippines
The Philippines is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, but El Nido, located on the island of Palawan, remains a hidden paradise.
Here, you can kayak around small lagoons, swim in hidden coves, and snorkel among coral reefs teeming with marine life. Despite its beauty, El Nido has managed to avoid the tourist crowds that flock to other Southeast Asian beach destinations.
