Carly Ledbetter of The Huffington Post wrote an article about Palawan published on the website on November 24.
Titled “Palawan, The Most Beautiful Island In The World, Is Sheer Perfection,” the article focused on what the province has to offer.
It also featured several photos of Palawan, from Kayangan Lake to the island’s many beaches and “incredible and rare” wildlife.
“It’s hard to believe the Philippines are an under-appreciated tropical travel destination, especially with their extraordinary hiking, biking, beaches and of course – islands that are THIS beautiful,” wrote Ledbetter, who is the Associate Lifestyle Editor of The Huffington Post.
“And while we’d like to visit every single island in the Philippines, there’s one island in particular we’re zeroing in on – Palawan, a hidden piece of paradise that was recently named ‘The Top Island in the World’ by Conde Nast Traveler’s Reader Choice Awards,” she added.
“There, beautiful blue water mixes with emerald green, jungle-filled mountains that appear to rise up from the ocean, and small fishing villages dot the island. Together with its neighboring islands, it creates the Palawan province, aka Paradise.”
Last month, the award-winning US travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler released the results of its 27th annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
Palawan, with over 76,000 votes, beat out the likes of Kiawah Island in South Carolina, Maui in Hawaii, Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique, the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands in Australia, and Santorini in Greece.
