Vacation Rentals in Philippines

The dreamlike island world of the Philippines offers such a variety of idyllic holiday resorts for holidaymakers that you are spoilt for choice when looking for a holiday apartment, an apartment or a holiday home. The tourist and cultural centre with the largest offer is undoubtedly the capital Manila together with the adjoining metropolitan area. If, on the other hand, you are looking for snow-white beaches and idyllic bays for water sports activities, accommodation is available on the islands of Cebu, Boracay, Mindanao, Luzon, Batayan and Samar.

In the Philippines there are dream beaches in the truest sense of the word like sand at the sea. Beach holidaymakers can set off from any resort in the archipelago to a different beach every day without having to visit a bay a second time. The beaches "Salongon Beach" (island Siquijor), "Dumaluan Beach" (island Bohol) and "Nacpan Beach" (island Palawan) are especially recommendable. The beaches are not only ideal for swimming and relaxing, but also for water sports such as surfing, stand-up paddling, snorkelling and deep-sea fishing. If you are even more adventurous, you can set off on a wreck dive in the colourful underwater world at the side of an experienced dive guide or take your course together with the majestic whale sharks.

Due to the location in the tropics and the distinct rainy season, the best time to travel is in the dry season. It extends from December to February and comes with milder temperatures and significantly lower rainfall. Nature lovers who don't want to miss the unique experience of swimming with whale sharks can book their vacation rental between March and May.

Especially in the tourist regions you can turn night into day as it is hardly possible even in most European cities. In addition to the legendary nightlife districts of Manila's "Malate" and "Makati", places such as Cebu and the city of Angeles City, which with its over 100 nightclubs is considered the "Sin City" of the Philippines, also score here.

Those who spend their holidays in Manila and want to learn more about the culture of the Philippines can visit the fortress Fuerza de Santiago with its 22 meter high walls.

Would you like to enjoy real Philippine cuisine? Then look for places where you can also find the locals. There you can look forward to exotic delicacies such as the grilled "Milkfish", the sweet and sour "Lapu-Lapu" fish and the chicken and rice soup seasoned with ginger and garlic ("Arroz caldo").
