The Philippines in $690s-$890s RT

We've heard it's a good idea to start the year thinking about warmer places :-)

Picture crystal clear waters, perfectly-formed volcanoes (yep, still active!) and over 7,000 islands to hop between. 

If you're keen to admire the jaw-dropping views of El Nido, you can get on a short, direct flight from either Cebu or Manila, and avoid the 6-hour bus ride from Palawan Island's only major airport.

And all that just as we were thinking about spending the winter months hibernating at home...
