Looking for an idyllic place to spend your upcoming summer holiday? Look no further because Palawan is a wonderful destination for nature lovers and sunseekers. This gorgeous archipelagic province located in the Mimaropa region is known for its lush forests and dazzling beaches. Travelers from across the world visit throughout the year to explore its amazing biodiversity and indulge in its spellbinding natural beauty. One of the best things to do is exploring underground river caves at Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. Additionally, you can visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Underground River. Aside from touring these renowned attractions, you can treat yourself to a relaxing and worry-free vacation. Wondering where to stay? Several resorts in Palawan offer all-inclusive packages for a hassle-free stay. Check out our list of the best all-inclusive resorts in Palawan, Philippines.

What to look forward to in Palawan:

  • In February 2024, the Philippine Information Agency reported the opening of Tabon Cave Complex-Lipuun Point Museum, which is associated with The National Museum of the Philippines. The museum focuses on the heritage of Palawan and the archaeological history of Tabon Caves.

When to visit Palawan:

  • If you're eager to enjoy Palawan's beaches, which are among the best in Southeast Asia, you may want to visit during the summer months from March to April. However, do note that this is also considered the peak season, so the islands may be more crowded. The slow season is between June and August when rain is more likely to dampen your vacation, but this is a good time to go if you want cheaper accommodation and flight rates.
