Biri Island

If you want a date that can and will make you want to explore the depths and beauty of the majestic ocean, this is definitely the right place for you.

Biri Island is part of a humble municipality with the same name which is located in the province of Northern Samar.

The eastern side faces the Pacific Ocean while the San Bernardino Strait borders the opposite.

Once you step onto this island, you will know why we call this place one of the lesser known hidden gems in the Philippines.

Majestic and unusual rock formations will cover the horizon as you enjoy listening to the huge waves crashing against them.

The water is a deep blue, as if it were straight out of a magazine cover, and the pools in between are perfect spots to chill out after a long drive or walk.

The raw, uncluttered atmosphere on this island will captivate you and your date, and we are sure this will be one adventure you will not soon forget.

Siquijor Island

This is where mystery meets magnificence — in terms of culture, history, and natural wonders.

Siquijor is an island in the Central Visayas region that is easily accessible by boat or smaller planes.

Most people know this quiet province for its local stories of witchcraft and the unknown, but what many of them fail to mention are the tales of its unparalleled attractions.

All in a day, you and your date can take a dip into a number of pristine falls and beaches found within the island, and visit their protected parks while touring around historic sights.

What’s even better is that you can have all these adventures at an incredibly low cost.

To complete the whole experience, you can wind down anywhere along the coast and munch on delicious local food as you bask in the ephemeral view of the sunset, where you will also discover why the island is famously referred to as the “Island of Fire.”

Guimaras Island

Who wouldn't want to try the country’s most famous produce which are the lusciously sweet mangoes?

Fair warning to some tourists out there, though, you might regret visiting the island of Guimaras with only a day to spare.

This is because there are so many other exciting adventures that await you in this small piece of heaven.

But if you are interested in having a more thrilling kind of date, you will instantly fall in love with their beaches, caves, and falls, all of which are lined with unique limestone rock formations.

Want to go deeper? Snorkeling and diving are some of the amazing activities you can take part in on this island.

Want a breath of fresh air? Simply tour around their wind farm.

If all of these activities aren’t enough to convince you to book a trip straight to Guimaras, then we don’t know what else to tell you but, your loss!

Limasawa Island

Located in the southern part of the larger Leyte island in the Visayas area. Limasawa is the site where the very first Catholic mass in the Philippines was held.

There are even more amazing treats to this humble municipality island than one would not expect to encounter.

First up would be retracing a significant piece of history that the island has.

Also, be sure to check out the Cross believed to be erected by renowned Spanish conqueror Ferdinand Magellan on the island.

From there, you and your date can stroll along past their pristine white sand beaches and just revel in the serenity that surrounds you.

However, if you still want to up the ante, you can get high on activities such as hiking and camping, and go low by snorkeling and scuba diving.

Whatever you choose, we are sure Limasawa will leave a happy mark in your heart.

Kalanggaman Island

If you’re familiar with some basic facts about the Philippines, then you might have heard of the island of Boracay — famously known for having one of the world’s best beaches.

However, one particular Philippine island that many already consider as the next Boracay is Kalanggaman island.

This island is definitely the perfect place for a much needed getaway, one that is far from the city noise and traffic.

Walk along the powder white sandbars and prepare to be enchanted by the blue waters.

This hidden gem is fit for every type of guest and tourist.

Are you looking to spend energy? Go for a dive or some snorkeling.

Want to simply lie down? Sure, beach bums are welcome to stretch out on the ever shapeshifting sandbars.

However, be informed that there are no resorts or any of those kinds of lungings available on the island.

This creates an amazing opportunity to bring out some camping gear as you explore the many wonders of the island together with your partner.

So don’t be surprised if we call this island one of the most romantic holiday destinations in the world.
