Philippines

Island pearls gleam in azure waves, December to April dances with dry, sunny bliss

10 spots8 speciesFebruary
The best time to visit the Philippines is between November and April, when dry days bring Palawan’s lagoons and Banaue’s rice terraces to life. With 25°C to 30°C weather, it’s great for island-hopping in Cebu, diving Tubbataha, or exploring Manila. For lower rates, try October or May.
