Paradise Found: Modessa Island, Palawan

Palawan is an island in the Philippines and is one of my all time favourite places that I’ve visited. This particular small island is called Modessa Island, you can find it on Booking.com and it is a little piece of paradise. The rooms are basic, but the location is unbeatable. Waking up every morning and opening the door to the view of the beach - heading straight for a dip in the sea with some goggles and a snorkel to explore one of the best house reefs I had seen for a while. We saw black tip reef sharks every day, lion fish, clown fish, lots of different stingrays, lots of moorish idols - my fav fish 👀 (essentially it was like swimming into Finding Nemo 🐠) Palawan is so cheap, so this was actually us “splashing out” on a bit of luxury for a few nights. The rest of our rooms were maximum £10/night - We also visited Port Barton, El Nido, Puerto Princessa and Roxas. Gutted we didn’t have time for Coron, which you should see if you go and have time - it gives us a reason to go back 🤩 #thetravelmum #cheaptravel #palawan #palawanphilippines #modessaisland #philippines🇵🇭
