LAKAWON ISLAND

Lakawon is a private island located in the Northern portion of Negros Occidental. 

This 16-hectare island is slowly hitting the radar of local and foreign travelers due to its powdery cream sand, astonishing blue waters, and its perfectly relaxed atmosphere. But the major crowd drawer in Lakawon is the remarkable Taw Hai Floating Bar, which is dubbed as the largest floating bar in Asia.

The bar is complete with refreshing drinks and colorful bean bags for you to enjoy. 


BORACAY


Last but not least, is the extremely famous beaches of Boracay. 

Due to its intense popularity, it has become overrated and too crowded over the years. Commercialization of the island has become unstoppable and preservation of its beauty has been overlooked. This made President Rodrigo Duterte force a six-month closure and rehabilitation of the island. Just reopened last October, Boracay has now been receiving positive praises due to the incredible developments observed by tourists. Spotless beaches, sparkling white sand, clear turquoise waters, and less crowded beach awaits every traveler who plans to visit the gorgeous island Boracay. 



The vibrant and hectic environment has now become a relaxing and soothing ambiance. Whether you’ve gone to Boracay or it’s your first time, now is the perfect time to visit the island and see for yourself why it has once been named as the best island in the world. 



With the number of emerging destinations in the country today, choosing which places to visit especially in a limited span of time could be a grueling decision to make. But the list above will surely appease your thirst for travel and will keep you inspired to discover more of the splendid charm of the Philippines. Happy travels!
