ACCOMMODATION 

When we say breathtaking resorts, we mean breathtaking resorts. You’ll be treated to double/twin bed accommodation in your choice of the world’s most beautiful resorts including breakfast each and every day. Up first is the jaw-on-the-floor kind of stunning 4.5-star Amorita Resort, located on the pristine southern edge of Bohol’s Pangao Island. This award-winning luxury resort boasts 4 on-site restaurants, 2 picturesque infinity pools, a wellness spa, fitness center, and even an in-house PADI dive center.  

Up next is Shangri-La's 5-star Mactan Resort and Spa on the island of Cebu. Nestled amidst 13 hectares of lush, landscaped gardens and with a 350-meter white-sand beach, this stunning resort touts itself as a multi-faceted leisure destination providing a compelling mix of luxury relaxation and wellness, lively entertainment, and exciting recreational activities. With 4 restaurants, 5 bars, an incredible Spa, fitness center, and tennis courts, we’re inclined to agree!  

Crimson Resort and Spa, option number 3, is another (yes, another) 5-star resort for you to choose from. Nestled on the prestigious island of Mactan with a private beach, an infinity pool, award-winning spa and fitness center, sports bar, 3 restaurants and its very own night club, you’re guaranteed to never want to leave.  

Last, but certainly not least, is the 5-star Pearl Farm Beach Resort, located on the breathtakingly beautiful Samal Island. Here, luxurious comfort, breathtaking Filipino design, a protected natural environment, and the rich culture of the southern Philippines meet. Together, they create a relaxing, private retreat unlike any other in the Philippine archipelago – equipped with 2 restaurants (and beach picnics available on request), 2 outdoor swimming pools, spa and a bar with 360º of the resort. 

Which would you choose? 

ACTIVITIES 

On top of the countless activities offered at whichever hotel you choose, we’re including quite a few bits and bobs to keep you busy. Treat your tastebuds to the best of the best with dinner at Michelin star restaurants Kam’s Road and Tsuta Ramen and toast to the best 2 weeks of your life with drinks on us at Kawayan bar Amanpuo.  

Experience the best of Philippine culture with entry to Bayombong Museum, the Museum of Mountain Culture, Paoay Church, Puerta Princessa Subterranean River National Park, the ancient rice terraces and Sagada. Then get up close and personal with quite possibly the cutest, fluffiest, sweetest little guys in the world at the tarsier sanctuary.  

Prepare to get wet diving with the sharks in Sogod Bay Leyte, snorkeling over the most incredible coral reefs teeming with marine life more colourful than a box of Crayolas, and embarking on an island-hopping ocean adventure. Head back on land to live your best TLC life chasing (Siquijor) waterfalls before hopping on your very own quad bike for an exhilarating adventure.  

We’ll also throw in 3 AirBnB experiences (up to £150) of your choice!
