Two Islands, One Dream: El Nido vs. Boracay

#philippinestrip
Planning a beach escape? The Philippines has you very well covered.
If you're on a budget, El Nido on Palawan island is your go-to. Think dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and island hopping for less than your Friday night out. It’s chill, raw, and way more affordable — just be ready for a bit of a journey (you’ll likely need to transit through Manila, then take a local flight or van).
Now, if you’re feeling a little fancy — or just want to treat yourself — head to Boracay. Yes, it's pricier, but the powder-white sand and ridiculous sunsets make every peso worth it. Plus, the transfer from Manila is smoother: short flight, quick boat, and boom — welcome to paradise.
So whether you're saving or splurging, the Philippines has the beach for you. Just don’t skip the mango shakes. Trust me.
