Weddings happen to be some of the most magical things to ever happen on earth. If anything, it’s the most awaited moment of a couple because, finally, they get to say “I do” and spend the rest of their lives together.
The Philippines is one country in Southeast Asia that’s known for its terrific tourist destinations, mainly islands and beaches. Composed of 7,641 beautiful islands, this country has definitely so much to offer. Not to mention, stunning beaches that pass as grand and unforgettable venues for couples who are about to tie the knot.
Looking for the perfect destination wedding venue? Here are 10 of the most romantic beach wedding venues in the Philippines perfect for tying the knot and saying I do with such an extraordinary view:
1. Pico de Loro, Batangas
Only about 90 minutes away from Manila is this breathtaking private beach resort in Nasugbu. Pico de Loro is Hamilo Coast’s 1.5-kilometer stretch of nothing but a beautiful white sand beach with pristine, blue waters. But, be not confused! Because more than the beach destination itself, you can also rent its ever-so-famous chapel.
Nestled just right on top of the Pico de Loro Cove is its striking glass chapel, the St. Therese of the Child Jesus Chapel. This glass chapel offers breathtaking views of nature at every turn that not even the latest phone model can give justice to. Think it can’t get any better than this? Well, to keep you informed, this glass chapel is actually built with sustainable features in mind. Now, who wouldn’t want to spend this moment in such a place of paradise?
2. The Bellevue Resort, Bohol
The Bellevue Resort in Bohol has about 250 meters of nothing but perfect white sand beach, which is only ideal for your most awaited moment of tying the knot together. But, more than its physical beauty, the management is actually also one to commend for hiring deaf and mute locals. In spite of their inability to speak and hear like normal people, The Bellevue Resort still lives up to its promise of providing only the best and world-class services to its guests. Wouldn’t it be heartwarming to spend your most special day here?
3. El Nido Resorts, Palawan
Weddings held at El Nido, Palawan, only mean tying the knot and saying “I do” amidst the presence of majestic limestone cliffs and clear blue waters. Whether you choose to hold a big and grand wedding or a more intimate and private one, El Nido Resorts definitely has the perfect package for you, your partner, and your guests. More than its offer of breathtaking and picturesque views of nature, the resort also promises exclusivity as you go through the ceremony either on a private island, a hidden cove, or a garden chapel setting. The cherry on top of it all is having to enjoy a sunset cruise after your big day, which, I think, no one can ever say no to.
4. Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa
Just 20 minutes away from the Mactan International Airport is Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa, one of the most renowned beach resorts in the region of Cebu, mainly because of its extravagance and exclusivity.
While hosting a small wedding is ideal, especially budget-wise, it has become quite impossible for most couples to do so. Why? Well, mainly because Filipinos value family so much, that even up to the 3rd and 4th generation, with all the extended family members, they have to invite to their big day. But worry not because this beach resort in Cebu has enough (and even more) rooms and spaces to accommodate all guests.
5. Balesin Island Club
Now, this beach resort on the eastern coast of Luzon is for couples who are willing to splurge on their big day. The 500-hectare property features luxurious villas and amenities to all its guests. On top of that, you get to experience world-class features and services, feeling and looking like you’re somewhere else in the world. Oh, and did I mention Balesin has the most picturesque view of the Philippine sunset? This island is so perfect that famous TV personalities chose to hold their big days here, just like Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero.
6. Discovery Shores Boracay
Everyone who knows and who has been to Boracay knows that this is one of the most beautiful islands ever to exist. It’s actually no surprise that soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. dream of hosting their wedding on this powdery white sand beach and dreamy shores. Station 1 is known to be one of the quietest and the more peaceful side of Boracay; hence, it being the perfect place for weddings. Discovery Shores can accommodate up to 70 wedding guests while keeping your surroundings and venue cozy and intimate with cocktails, grilling stations, and other food selections.
7. Amanpulo
Known as one of the world’s most exclusive yet sought-after islands is the island of Amanpulo, a breathtaking beach with world-class service as the cherry on top of your wedding cake. This place is to die for, and both couples and guests will surely fall head over heels for it. Powdery white sand, clear turquoise waters, the beauty of nature at every turn, attention to detail, absolute exclusivity and privacy, and so much more! What a way to say “I do,” relax, and experience luxury at its best!
