Pamalican Island Cuyo Archipelago, Cuyo, 5318 Palawan, Philippines Get directions

"For a luxurious, five-star, The White Lotus–esque escape, this exclusive resort on Pamalican Island delivers a private-island paradise of powdery sand, thriving reefs, and calm, swimmable waters perfect for diving and water sports. The island is a nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles, and guests can witness the magical, moonlit emergence of hatchlings on the beach. Access is only via chartered plane from Manila, and while the splurge is real, the vistas make it worth every penny." - Jasmine Ting
