Best time to visit the Philippines

If you don’t know, Philippines has only 2 seasons- wet and dry season. You should be prepared with the weather in Manila because it is hot and humid during the months of March to May, and can extend up to June! The wet season starts from June to November.

But due to climate change (which affects Philippines the most), the rainy season can start as early as May. The best time to visit the Philippines is during the month of January, as the weather is expected to be the coldest of the year plus you won’t compete with the locals during December’s holiday rush (traffic and all). It depends on your preference after all.

Philippines Honeymoon Destinations

1. Batanes

Batanes is a remote island in North of the Philippines. It’s popular as a wedding destination so if you’re lucky, you can even catch a wedding in their churches or beaches. We enjoyed the amazing landscapes and the unrivalled magical sunset, which is definitely a romantic scene for you and your partner. This sunset is at Rolling Hills, one of our favorite Batanes tourist spots. Also Marlboro country is another place that you can’t miss when visiting Batanes.

2. Banaue

Found in the northern part of Luzon, Banaue is one of the tourist spots in the Philippines. This is the perfect place if you want to take a break from the city and inhale the fresh air, feel the cold breeze, and feed your eyes with stunning views. Banaue and Batad rice terraces are amazing and it’s great to get lost around the area! It’s definitely more romantic when you’re kinda lost and wandering with your partner.

Hike the downtown up to Banaue Viewpoint because it really feels good to be at the top of the mountain! Banaue is one of the spots where you will realize how beautiful nature is. You should also try watching Ifugao cultural shows and dance to the sound of gongs. Your partner will surely love the fun experience!

3. Anilao, Batangas

Ah, one of our favorites! We loved our diving experience in this quiet barangay in Mabini, Batangas. It is just a 3-hour drive from Manila and is a famous spot for diving enthusiasts. You can also do snorkeling here, as the water is clean and clear.

It’s the perfect spot to relax after a long week. Seeing each other dive, witnessing their reactions, and even kissing underwater (ha!) as they see the beautiful creatures below are just really fun and romantic. Those underwater shots you’d take will really make good memories of you together. The picture above is from Sepoc Island!

Read our blog post about what to do and where to sleep in Anilao.

4. Tagaytay, Taal Volcano

After falling in love with each other, definitely both of you will also fall in love with the views from the viewing point in Taal Volcano, but you will fall in love deeper with the view from the Red Lava Viewing Point, where you can view the crater of the volcano. No worries if you do not like hiking. It was just an easy hike, that even a kid can do it.

Now if you love volcanoes and lakes, then it is recommended for you to visit Taal Volcano in Tagaytay. It Is the 2nd most active volcano in the Philippines and a popular tourist spot in Batangas. It´s a must in the places to visit in the Philippines.

Pride of the south, Samal Island! This is one of the places a couple should go to when they visit Mindanao, Philippines for their honeymoon. It is a beautiful escape from the daily hustle and bustle of the city, as well as a romantic place for you and your partner.

The views here are priceless, and the locals are welcoming. We loved snorkeling, diving, and island hopping here. We also loved the local food of Samal. This place is definitely worth the visit and we recommend Samal Island as one of the Philippines Honeymoon Destinations!
