Balabac is a hidden gem in Palawan! We didn't get the chance to go there, but we wish we did. We have heard great things from friends who did.

It's often labelled as "the Maldives of the Philippines"! Do we need to say more??

There are heaps of starfish and sandbars! The area also has 36 islands, which you can visit in an island-hopping tour.

There are also basic accommodations like homestays, guesthouses, and campgrounds, so definitely consider staying 1-2 nights to make the trip worth it.
