White beach is where the action happens, and it’s divided into 3 parts: Station 1 with top hotels. Station 2 is the busiest area with restaurants, malls and groups of tourists. Station 3 is the laidback area, with local bars and small guesthouses. Choose the station that suits you better, and find romantic places to have dinner and sip cocktails by the beach. Another important thing, at 6pm you must rush to the beach, sit and admire the sunset. If you want to spice up the moment bring a bottle of wine to celebrate love!

  2. I agree with El Nido and Boracay 100% – Infact, I have been there and almost every place in Philippines is just amazing, isn’t it? I was especially surprised at how clean the white beach was with the amount of tourists and party goers it sees. Just awesome.

    • Good to hear that you agree with me, Jo!
      The white beach in Boracay is out of this world, so white that hurts when you look at it under the sun. I was surprised how clean the beach is, especially during high season. They do a god job preserving it. Thanks for stopping by!

  6. I bookedto go to Bohol in November but sadly had to change our plans based on updates from the foreign office. We went instead to Mindoro and this had beautiful beaches, great diving and fab spas. The Philippines is definitely stunning and a great place to escape with your partner

  8. That stretch of white sand in Boracay reminds me of Shoal Bay in Anguilla. I can’t imagine a more perfect beach! Both Boracay and Palawan are on my to-do list but I’m also interested in visiting Bohol. I can see why it is a great place to visit with a significant other….too bad my boyfriend has such limited vacation days!
