Twenty-four mostly uninhabited islets scattered across Lianga Bay, hopped by outrigger between bare sandbars and clear water — El Nido before the commercialization.
It sits on Mindanao's remote east coast, hours from the nearest airport, so international itineraries skip it.
It's only worth the detour Mar–May. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
