7.000 reasons to set course for this destination in 2025

With over 7.000 islands, untouched nature and a rich culture, the Philippines are quietly pushing themselves forward as the destination for 2025. An archipelago that is still largely undiscovered, but is increasingly appearing on the lists of travelers looking for authenticity, tranquility and natural beauty. Travel Platinum, the luxury travel label of 333travel, is also adding the Philippines to its offering this year.

This versatile archipelago has only recently managed to nestle itself on the radar of the more demanding traveller. According to Travel Platinum, the exclusive travel label of 333travel, the Philippines is the surprising addition to their luxury collection for the coming year: ''The Philippines combines authentic hospitality with breathtaking landscapes, making it a perfect choice for both experienced Asia travellers and newcomers to the continent. The archipelago surprises with an unparalleled versatility: from the pearly white beaches of Palawan to the mysterious Chocolate Hills of Bohol and from colonial towns to the contemporary energy of Manila.''

Extraordinary experiences, far from the crowd

The Philippines is a paradise where crystal-clear waters contrast with lush rice terraces, and where traditional fishing villages are scattered along rugged, unspoiled coastlines. With Travel Platinum, you travel the way you want: at your pace, your way. Snorkeling with whale sharks at Donsol? Check. An intimate dinner on a deserted beach at sunset? Yes, please. Your own villa at the exclusive Amanpulo? Of course. No standard trip here, but a tailor-made experience that you won’t soon forget.

A private boat through the limestone rock formations of El Nido, a dive to shipwrecks near Coron with a local marine biologist, or island hopping with champagne on deck: it's all possible. At Travel Platinum, passionate Travel Designers and local guides know exactly where you should be. And perhaps even more importantly: where you should not be.
