1. Cebu
 
Cebu is a breathtaking resort island in the Philippines. Its name comes from the Spanish word for “beautiful.” Comprising 166 islands, Cebu boasts sandy beaches surrounded by crystal-clear waters and rich marine life, making it perfect for diving and island-hopping vacations. Plus, direct flights from Taiwan take just 2.5 hours—super convenient.

2.Bali

3.Palawan
 
Palawan Province is part of the Mimaropa region in the Philippines and includes the main island of Palawan along with surrounding smaller islands. With its pristine underwater world and unspoiled natural beauty, Palawan is often called the “Little Maldives” and is considered the last frontier of the Philippines. It preserves nearly 60% of its original forests and even features one of the New7Wonders of Nature—the Underground River.

4.Okinawa
 
In recent years, Okinawa has seen booming tourism and is a favorite travel spot for many. With its short flight time from Taiwan, low travel costs, and beautiful coastlines, it’s a great place for a vacation.
