Nestled in the province of Bohol in the Philippines’ Visayas region, Panglao Island is a gorgeous tourist destination. Blessed with the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean, the island boasts breathtaking beaches and dreamy locations tucked away in lush tropics. Here, you’ll find Alona Beach, which is the most popular beach on the island and is packed with restaurants and nightspots.
