INSTEAD OF BALI…

Bali is a place on everyone’s bucket list right now! The country is breathtaking and it is easy on the wallet…but if you’re looking for something with slightly smaller crowds, check out Palawan or Cebu in the Philippines.

The Landscapes and activities are incredibly similar to Bali, and it’s equally as cheap! I was checking out beach resorts in these areas and they start as low as $50 a night for a basic beachside hotel, and ran up to about $200-$400 a night for a luxury all inclusive. There were many options in between as well!

I mean, look at how blue that water is!! Save this for later!!

If Bali is a dream destination for many travelers, alternatives such as Palawan and Cebu in the Philippines offer a more tranquil experience without sacrificing stunning scenery. Both locations boast crystal-clear waters, fine sandy beaches, and numerous activities that are reminiscent of Bali's charm. In addition to the budget-friendly accommodation options ranging from basic beachside hotels to luxury resorts, travelers can enjoy diving, snorkeling, and exploring undeveloped areas that showcase the natural beauty of the islands. Moreover, the local culture and cuisine add a unique touch to these destinations, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich Filipino heritage. Don't forget to check out the must-visit spots like El Nido and Coron in Palawan, as well as the historical sites in Cebu. These destinations are perfect for those seeking adventure away from the busy tourist trails while preserving a similar tropical allure. Pack your bags for an unforgettable getaway in the Philippines!

I absolutely loved the Philippines. We live there for some years, had a son born there. We lived in Angeles City. And have visited Cebu many times. The food and people are great!! Would love to go back!!
