Cuyo Archipelago, Sulu SeaPalawan is a long, thin island province with two very different draws. El Nido in the north is the postcard: jagged limestone towers straight out of the water, and lagoons you enter by kayak through gaps in the rock. Coron, further north again, is the wreck-diving capital — a Japanese WWII fleet sits in shallow, clear water. And out on its own is Amanpulo, on the private island of Pamalican, which is one of the most exclusive addresses in Asia. Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, a UNESCO site in the middle of the Sulu Sea, is reachable only by liveaboard and only from March to June.
