9. The Philippines
No doubt you’ve seen photos of the palm-tree-lined beaches and stunningly beautiful turquoise water of the Philippines. For spectacular beaches, delicious food, and friendly people, it’s got to be the Philippines, one of the most affordable tropical places to visit on a summer vacation.
This Southeast Asian nation boasts more than 7,000 islands, secluded jungle waterfalls, miles of coastline, and extraordinary marine life. Explore and enjoy the stunning Palawan archipelago, have a cocktail at the floating bamboo Kawayan bar on Pamalican Island, or visit the vibrant Chinatown neighborhood in Manila.
Most people in the Philippines speak English, so you’re unlikely to encounter anyone who can’t speak at least a little of it.
