Hotels in Panglao Island, Philippines
Panglao Island, off the coast of Bohol in the Philippines, is famous for its powdery white-sand beaches and world-class dive sites like Balicasag Island's coral gardens. The climate is tropical, with dry winters (November to April) averaging 80°F (27°C) perfect for swimming with sea turtles at Doljo Beach, and rainy summers (May to October) around 86°F (30°C) ideal for exploring the island's limestone caves and hiking to the Hinagdanan Cave's underground pool. During the dry season, you can island-hop to nearby Pamilacan for whale shark encounters, while the wet season offers cheaper rates and fewer tourists at Alona Beach.
