Island-hopping paradise
Philippines
The Philippines is where you go for serious island wow — over 7,000 islands of limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and water so clear it looks staged. Palawan's El Nido and Coron are the crown jewels, and Bohol adds tarsiers, Chocolate Hills and gentle family beaches. It's a longer flight, and worth every hour.
Best time
November – May is the dry season; December – March is peak.
Flight time
Around 16–18 hours from London, typically via the Middle East or Singapore.
Visas
British passport holders get visa-free entry for 30 days.
