The Philippines offers an incredible mix for a multi-centre holiday, with over 7,000 islands to explore. Begin in the vibrant capital of Manila, then venture north to Luzon’s volcanic landscapes and the emerald rice terraces of Banaue. Continue to the limestone cliffs and hidden lagoons of El Nido, or the palm-fringed beaches of Boracay and Cebu. Along the way, discover colourful reefs, dramatic scenery and a unique culture shaped by Asian and Hispanic influences.

With over 7,000 islands to explore, the Philippines is best experienced on a multi-centre holiday, giving you the chance to enjoy everything that makes the country so special. Because it’s so vast and diverse, staying in one place means missing many highlights. We can design an itinerary around your interests so you make the most of your adventure. A multi-centre lets you combine bustling cities with dramatic scenery, rice terraces and volcanic landscapes with idyllic beaches, seamlessly blending the best of the Philippines into one unforgettable trip.
The Philippines offers something for everyone. Discover the colonial heritage and buzzing nightlife of Manila, then head north to the rice terraces of Banaue or south to Bohol for the Chocolate Hills and tiny tarsiers. Nature lovers are drawn to Palawan, with Puerto Princesa’s underground river, El Nido’s lagoons and world-class diving in Busuanga. For beach escapes, Cebu combines lively culture with sandy shores, Boracay is perfect for pure relaxation, and Siargao is a haven for surfers and adventure seekers.
The dry season runs from November to April and is the most popular time to visit, with December to February offering the best weather. May to October is wetter and falls within typhoon season, but it rarely disrupts travel and can be a great time to go if you’re looking for quieter resorts and better value.
The Philippines has no shortage of stunning beaches. Boracay is famous for its soft white sand and lively atmosphere, while El Nido is known for its dramatic limestone backdrops and hidden coves. Cebu offers a mix of resorts and local charm, Siargao’s palm-fringed shores are ideal for surfers and Bohol is perfect for a romantic escape.

Twice now we have given Claire of eShores a budget, a destination of one or two countries, a wish to travel to/from the same UK airport but fly in/out of different overseas airports, and a desire to travel by train/bus. The first time she made sure she understood the type of accommodation and places that…

We have used E shores for a number of years now and everything is always spot on. Kadie always manages to surprise us by ensuring each holiday is better than the last. I can't see us ever using another travel company!
This was our first two-centre holiday with eShores — a wonderful trip to Greece — and we had a superb time.

Exactly what we hoped for, and we had an incredible time exploring Greece. We will definitely…
I have received a professional and knowledgable advisory service from eShores, that’s why I came back a second time. I haven’t yet travelled to my destinations but so far, so very good!
Really impressed by the level of commitment to finding us the perfect holiday.
We always book our big trips with E-shores, great service from Dave.
Michelle was brilliant! She was patient whilst we changed ideas & dates of what we wanted to do, and made sure it was just right for what we wanted! Explained everything really clearly & booking our trip was effortless! Will definitely be using eShores again!
Kady was so informative concerning my Cruise and happy to answer all my questions she made the process extremely easy and stress free
Excellent support with planning a 2 centre trip with internal flights. Very pleasant to deal with.
Dave was excellent in finding what we wanted on a trip to Corfu and the Albania riviera. Cannot wait to visit these two places later this year.
First class service. Michelle was so helpful and obliging, nothing was too much trouble. We now have a great 2 centre city break planned, the second we have booked with eshores. Would highly recommend the company.
Wanted a 2 centre holiday and contacted E-Shores, within 48 hours had a quote and when spoke to agent talked me through all aspects and gave some really good advice.
The staff, especially Anna have been excellent, so helpful and professional. Thank you

My experience with e shores has been brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, Rob ensured that we had the perfect hotels for our trip to Greece.
I always find eshores to be very helpful and efficient, we have never been disappointed with their recommendations and our travels have always been a success. We have recommended them to serveral of our friends who have been equally happy with the service and experties provided.
Claire was unbelievably helpful. She listened to what I was looking for and then spent time putting together a great package. I made several requests for adjustments and alternatives were sent. Nothing was too much trouble and I will certainly use Claire again for my next holiday.
