We're suckers for white-sand beaches and clear blue water, both of which qualify El Nido, Palawan, for being our new favorite place. Palawan Island in the Philippines is k**wn for its gorgeous landscape and coral reefs and as "The Last Ecological Frontier of the Philippines" for its high biodiversity.

With El Nido, a Philippine municipality on Palawan, rising in popularity across my social feeds, I decided to dig in to find out more about this special place. Immediately, I understood why more and more people have been adding the destination to their bucket lists, and once you see the photos, you will, too.
