Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and this year, it falls on a Friday—like a lucky twist on Friday the 13th, but for romance! With the weekend ahead, it’s the perfect time to book a romantic getaway. The Philippines is home to stunning destinations that can turn your Valentine’s weekend into a fairy tale.

Grab your significant other and prepare for a weekend filled with love and laughter as you explore these five romantic destinations in the Philippines:

1. Batanes

At the northernmost tip of the Philippines is the beautiful, almost untouched province of Batanes. With breathtaking landscapes, rolling green hills and panoramic ocean views, this peaceful destination makes for a quiet, intimate getaway from the city— a perfect setting to spend quality time with your loved one.

2. Sagada, Mountain Province

For adventurous couples, Sagada in the Cordillera Mountains is a dream destination. Nothing like a long hike across steep trails and hillsides to bring two people together. While this is a tourist hotspot, that doesn’t take away from the wonderful memories a couple can make while traversing its hiking trails and taking in the captivating views.

3. Panglao Island, Bohol

White sand beaches and crystal-clear waters await couples in Panglao Island. Spend the day island hopping, visiting waterfalls, snorkeling, and swimming with sea turtles. Don’t miss a trip to Hinagdanan Cave, a mesmerizing underground lagoon where you can marvel at its limestone formations and take a refreshing dip in its cool, clear waters. Book a stay in a resort overlooking the famous beaches for the ultimate romantic touch.

4. Tagaytay

For a quick and easy escape from Manila, Tagaytay remains a top choice for couples. Cozy up in a resort with stunning views of Taal Lake, indulge in delicious food, and enjoy the cool breeze. With a variety of charming restaurants and cafes, you’ll have plenty of options for memorable date nights.

5. Amanpulo Resort, Palawan

With its own private island, a minimal number of guests, and the most stunning natural wonders Palawan has to offer, Amanpulo is the ultimate romantic getaway. As part of the world-famous Aman Resorts group, you can expect high-quality service and amenities. Take a dip in the beautiful blue waters, walk on the white sand, snorkel the pristine reefs, and get a couples massage without even seeing other guests. While on the more luxurious and expensive side, the memories will be priceless.

This Valentine’s Day, whether you’re looking for a private escape with your loved one or seeking out a glorious adventure with a significant other, the Philippines is well-equipped to provide you with exquisite destinations and long-lasting memories.
