Jomalig Island, Quezon Province

Jomalig Island is one of Quezon Province's smallest and farthest island towns, which means it has remained untouched. The golden and white sand beaches, crystal-sky water, agoho pine trees, refreshing environment, and natural vistas are simply breathtaking here. It's been described as a desert paradise in the middle of the ocean by visitors.

If you enjoy a peaceful camping away from the crowds, this place is just perfect for you! 

Tinipak River, Tanay, Rizal

Awarded as the cleanest inland body of water in the region, Tinipak River is a hidden paradise in Tanay, Rizal that boasts giant white marbled rock and pristine water. If you enjoy the rush of adrenaline that comes with outdoor experiences, this should be at the top of your list because you will be trekking across massive trails of rocks. But, as they say, the best view comes after the hardest climb. 

Malapascua Island, Cebu

The next on our list is every diver's dream destination - Malapascua Island. This island is located off the north coast part of Cebu, known for being the only place in the world where you can dive with thresher sharks on a daily basis, plus you’ll get to see a majestic underwater scene. But even if you aren't interested in reefs or marine life, the southern part of the island is flanked with beautiful sandy coves. No need to worry about where to stay because there are plenty of hotels and guesthouses to choose from. Tourists can attest that Malapascua is one of the most underrated islands in the Philippines. 

Corcuera Island, Romblon

Considered as a counterpart to the famous island of Boracay, the Corcuera Island or also known as Simara Island. Corcuera is a virgin municipality in Romblon with magnificent white sand beaches. Again, if you like unspoiled beaches, you'll definitely enjoy this. The island will also lead you to its rich historical and cultural heritage. From caves filled with staggering stalagmites and stalactites, to places with significant historic value and to prayer mountains. Corcuera indeed has a lot to offer! You can do more than just swim and camp; you can also climb, trek, and meditate.

Bucari, Leon, Iloilo City

If you’re not the beach bum type of person, this place fits you! Bucari is a mildly popular tourist destination situated in the mountains of Leon, Iloilo. Because of its temperate climate and mountain charms, it is known as the province's "little Baguio." Surrounded by lush mountains and sloping hills, with rice and vegetable terraces, small villages and clear rivers, and a home to soothing waterfalls, cool springs, hiking routes and a pine forest. Bucari is a great destination to visit during the dry season since it provides a welcome respite from the heat of the summer. It takes at least two hours to get there from Iloilo City. 

If ever you set foot in the City of Love, give this two-hours away place from the city a visit.
