Philippines

The land of rice fields, tropical beaches, and palm-filled landscapes

The Philippines is an enchanting archipelago consisting of approximately 7,641 islands, of which only about 2,000 are inhabited. This beautiful country is located in Southeast Asia and covers an area roughly 46 times larger than the Netherlands. With a population of over 110 million people, the Philippines ranks among the most populous countries in the world.

Although the Philippines consists of thousands of islands, the majority of the population resides on a few of the most well-known islands, such as Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. These islands are not only the most populated but also the most visited by tourists, who are enchanted by the natural beauty and the hospitality of the local people.

The climate in the Philippines is tropical, meaning it remains warm throughout the year, with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius. The rainy season runs from June to November, while the dry months last from December to May. This makes the period from December to May the ideal time to visit the Philippines. However, the Philippines can also be visited during our summer vacation. You can expect some rain, especially in the form of short but heavy showers. It may also feel a bit more humid and muggy during these months.

Whether you want to enjoy the beautiful beaches, dive in crystal-clear waters, explore historical landmarks, or savor the vibrant culture and cuisine, the Philippines offers an unforgettable travel experience. And although it may seem a bit far away, you can fly from the Netherlands to this paradise in about 15 hours and immerse yourself in the beauty and diversity of the Philippines.
