Conde Nast Traveler picks Palawan

Conde Nast Traveler picks Palawan
The Manila Times

Palawan was voted as the tourist destination with the Best Beaches in Asia by American magazine Conde Nast Traveler in its Great Asian Beach Finder review. In addition to underwater rivers and impressive coral formations, the province was cited for its powdery beaches, charming coves and interesting islets.

Conde Nast Traveler is one of the pioneering and most respected tourism publications in the world, catering to high-end luxury tourists and adventure seekers.

“Palawan is undoubtedly one of the Philippines’ prized jewels. This achievement validates the collaborative efforts of the department, the local government and the private sector in preserving and promoting the country’s nature attractions,” said Tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano, when he learned about the good news.

For Conde Nast Traveler, the beaches of Palawan bested other first-rate destinations in the Asian region including Beach No. 7 on Havelock Island, India; the Nihiwatu Beach in Indonesia; and the Laem Tong Bay in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, which was made famous by the Hollywood movie The Beach when it was picked as the principal location for the film. Palawan also bested the shores of Baa, North Ari and North Male Atolls in Maldives.

Among the Palawan attractions cited was the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park, located southeast of Puerto Princesa. The ecosystem is made up of two atolls that lie on a line of extinct underwater volcanoes and is a sanctuary for marine life. The publication also noted the St. Paul Subterranean River, which boasts of nature-made limestone sculptures. Both the reef and the underground river are listed under the World Heritage Sites of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco).

Conde Nast Traveler further explored the wonders of the Miniloc Island Resort and the world-famous private resort of Amanpulo.
