Maculot, with a heated pool and a picnic table. The air-conditioned cabins also feature a solo firepit, a private bathroom, a queen-size bed, a double bed, and Wi-Fi.

via Isla Verde: Sawang Dive Camp Resort Facebook page

Believe it or not, there are a handful of Batangas beaches that remain relatively uncrowded and pristine—Verde Island is one of them. Experienced divers flock to this little gem to explore the rich marine life underwater, but the waters are so crystal clear that even non-divers can get a glimpse of colorful fishes from the surface. There are a couple of accommodation options on the island, one of which is Sawang Dive Camp. The resort offers cozy cabanas, but if you’d rather sleep under the stars, there are also dedicated camping spots overlooking the tranquil beach. Small and big tents are available for rent.

8. Fortune Island

via Fortune Island Resort Facebook page

Another famous—but even more deserted—island in Batangas is Fortune Island. Found off the coast of Nasugbu, the remote isle gained online popularity with the emergence of stunning photos of its empty white shores, Greek-inspired ruins, and craggy cliffs. The hour-long boat ride from Barangay Wawa to Fortune Island is occasionally a bit rough, but well worth it! Activities include snorkeling, diving, cliff jumping, and swimming. If you’re staying the night, keep in mind that there are few facilities on the island. Don’t forget to pack all the basics, including food (Miss B’s pandesal is the perfect baon), water, and toiletries.

Address: Nasugbu, Batangas
Price: Overnight fee is PHP 500 per person, Boats start at PHP 4,500
