Get to know the Philippines from your Philippines beach resort
A multi-faceted cultural melting pot set across stunning natural scenery with truly idyllic tropical islands set amongst beautiful marine scenery, both above and below the waterline, a stay in a luxury Philippines beach resort is a bucket list MUST for any beach and sea lover. Though part of Southeast Asia, the island nation often feels worlds away from its mainly Buddhist neighbours. For experiential travellers a Philippines beach vacation can be a culture rich experience. The islands are still heavily influenced by the Philippines 350 years of Spanish rule and subsequent U.S. colonial control. Contemporary Filipino culture, religion (which is primary Catholic thanks to its Spanish history), festivals and arts are as unique as the country’s welcoming people. With two national languages, Filipino (also known as Tagalog) and English, English is widely spoken and there always seems to be a high-spirited fiesta (festival) being held everywhere you go. The Philippines is a place where travellers can dive right into the multi-faceted culture as soon as they check-in to their boutique hotel or Philippines private island resort.With four distinct climate zones, it’s important to look at the country’s weather throughout the year in the specific destinations you’re interested in when planning your Philippines beach vacation. Typically speaking, however, the high season from December to April corresponds with the dry season for the majority of the country with December to February being the coolest months boasting the best weather. In May, temperatures begin to rise as the wet season comes nearer, followed by passing typhoons in various parts of the country from June through September. Palawan and the western seaboard, for instance, tend to be pretty wet during this time but the eastern part of the country usually sees drier skies.
