Luxury Holidays to The Philippines
Barefoot Luxury in a Thousand Shades of Blue
The Philippines is a secret too good to keep—a nation of over 7,000 islands where limestone cliffs rise from turquoise seas, and exclusivity is defined by space, serenity, and soul.
From private island resorts in Palawan and El Nido, to the coral gardens of Cebu and the barefoot chic of Siargao, the Philippines offers off-the-grid luxury without sacrificing comfort.
Awake & Wander crafts curated journeys that include seaplane transfers, eco-luxury hideaways, and immersive marine adventures—paired with the warmest hospitality in Southeast Asia.
This is where the world stops, and wonder begins.

Arriving in Paradise: How to Get to the Philippines
Fly into Manila (MNL) or Cebu (CEB) from international hubs like Singapore, Doha, or Dubai, with onward connections by domestic flight, helicopter, or seaplane to more remote island destinations. Awake & Wander arranges VIP arrival service, private inter-island transfers, and smooth logistics whether you're travelling to Palawan, Boracay, or a private island resort. We ensure every leg of the journey feels effortless—from airport to hammock.
When to Visit the Philippines for the Perfect Island Escape
The Philippines is best enjoyed during the dry season (December to May), when skies are clear and the seas are calm—perfect for snorkelling, diving, and boat trips. January to March offers particularly pleasant weather across Palawan, Bohol, and Siargao. The green season (June to November) sees some tropical showers, but fewer travellers and lush landscapes. Awake & Wander plans each itinerary seasonally—so you’re always in the right island at the right time.
The Top 4 Unforgettable Experiences and Things to Do in The Philippines
The Philippines excels at low-key luxury, natural beauty, and experiences that soothe the soul and quicken the pulse. These highlights offer all three.
1
Stay on a Private Island in Palawan
Palawan is the crown jewel of Filipino island life. Awake & Wander partners with private island resorts like Amanpulo, Banwa, and El Nido’s eco-luxury retreats to offer seclusion, white-sand beaches, and full-board service. Picture overwater villas, outdoor spa pavilions, coral reef snorkelling, and candlelit dinners under the stars—just you and the sea.
2
Dive or Snorkel in UNESCO-Protected Coral Gardens
With some of the world’s best marine biodiversity, the Philippines is a diver’s paradise. Awake & Wander arranges private dive excursions to Tubbataha Reef, Apo Island, or Balicasag, with expert guides, luxury dive boats, and tailored experiences for beginners and advanced divers alike. Prefer to stay near the surface? The snorkelling is just as magical.
3
Sail Through the Lagoons and Hidden Beaches of El Nido
Hop aboard a private outrigger boat or luxury catamaran to explore the turquoise waters, limestone cliffs, and secret lagoons of El Nido and Coron. Enjoy beach picnics on uninhabited islands, swim in hidden coves, or kayak through cave systems—guided and catered to your preferences. This is island-hopping redefined.
4
Discover Filipino Culture and Cuisine in Manila or Cebu
Don’t overlook the urban gateways. Awake & Wander offers private cultural tours of Intramuros in Manila, boutique shopping in Makati, and street food tastings guided by top local chefs. In Cebu, visit Spanish colonial landmarks or enjoy a sunset dinner overlooking the sea. It’s the perfect pre- or post-island balance of heritage and indulgence.
Why the Philippines Is the Luxe Hideaway You Didn’t Know You Needed
The Philippines is understated. Unspoiled. Unpretentious. It’s a place where luxury is felt, not flaunted—where space and sincerity matter more than spectacle.
With Awake & Wander, you'll uncover hidden coves, sleep on private sands, dive with reef sharks, and share moments with people who redefine hospitality. This is slow travel, elevated—perfect for those who want to unplug in style. Discover Southeast Asia’s best-kept secret, one perfectly planned island at a time.
