Philippines

The Philippines are made up of over 7,100 islands, full of deserted coves and beautiful white sandy beaches, or coral made black sandy beaches fringed with palm trees and bordered by deciduous forests.
This fantastic value-for-money destination, The Philippines, where English is widely spoken offers incredible coral reefs with diverse eco-systems making it a world-class diving destination. The Philippinoes are charming,friendly people and very welcoming to the holiday-maker. Families would have great fun here. There is lots to see beyond the beach, with rice terraces, thousands of churches, volcanoes and mountains and ridiculously cheap beers and local spirits to relax with at the end of the day. For the more active, try kiteboarding and windsurfing, jungle treks and hiking, sea journeys or immerse yourself in thermal springs. There are fantastic golf courses in The Philippines particularly around Cebu and Manila.

Travel to the Philippines via Hong Kong or Malaysia, it's only another couple of hours flight on from there. Travel between the islands by internal flight or ferry and around the islands by taxi or on foot or bicycle.
