Every couple dream of having a romantic vacation. Philippines should be on your list. But is there any other place in this archipelago than the famous and prestige Boracay?
Here we list 6 romantic destinations in the Philippines without Boracay:
1. CEBU
Easy access to untouched islands and pristine beaches for a cosmopolitan destination is Cebu’s trademark. Despite being regarded as a bustling city like Metro Manila, Cebu barred it as it has the most numbers of resort and spas in the country; and one of the Philippines’ top tourist spots all year round.
Hotel resorts are widely visited by couples who enjoy spending their time together through relaxing in the quiet and soothing pampering offered by these hotels’ in-house spas. With the range of selections, from luxurious to budget friendly accommodations, Cebu is truly a perfect romantic destination.
2. BOHOL
Besides its famous Chocolate Hills and Tarsiers, Bohol is one humble romantic getaway, especially to couples who have a heart for nature and thrilling adventures. Bohol beaches are more laid back, as compared to other more popular beaches in the country, which give couples a more intimate time together and maybe have a romantic dinner near the shore.
3. BATANGAS
Without having to travel too far from Manila, Batangas is an accessible getaway, with romantic spots and activities to compete with the farther regions from the Metro. Aside from your typical dinner, waiting for the sun to shine or set with the one who owns your heart is a very intimate moment everyone wants to experience.
In Batangas, you may camp out near the summit of a mountain—Taal, Batulao, and Maculot to name a few—which are all within your skills, to watch the sun rise through the clouds.
