Heres some beautiful places that make sure you will relax and enjoy your vacation with your Family, Love Ones and friends.
Though we can always depend on the country’s more well-known beaches for a relaxing vacation, there’s still nothing like discovering unspoiled beauty. Being in a country that has over 7,000 islands, it seems like we will never get to see every single one. Thankfully, we were able to uncover some of our country’s best-kept secrets with the help of our favorite travel pros. Here are some of the Philippines’ most beautiful hidden tourist spots that you should add to your bucket list.
“Danjugan Island is a rainforest-covered island and rich marine sanctuary that can be reached after a 4-hour drive from Bacolod and a 30-minute boat ride from mainland Cauayan.
Danjugan Island is a 43-hectare strip of land carpeted with dense rainforest and secluded in the middle of a marine sanctuary. It is privately managed by the Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation (PRRCF), who bought and saved the island from possible destruction back in the 1990s.
Because it is a protected area, fishing is prohibited here, allowing the biodiversity to flourish. Tourists are welcome but the visit must be pre-arranged. Each visitor must attend a short briefing about the island’s history, the do’s and don’ts, and the itinerary for the day.
Danjugan Island can accept only a handful of guests per day – this ensures that the island’s pristine conditions will remain so for a long time.”

Where to Stay
Although spending the night on the island is possible, most guests stay at a resort outside of the island. Sipalay City, another popular attraction, is near so it makes sense to stay there instead. Moreover, we recommend visiting Danjugan as part of a larger Sipalay trip.

There are higher ranking resorts but they are in secluded beaches, which can be costly commute-wise. Guest houses are also available for a much lower price, some as low as P250 per night
