You read it right, out of the 255 islands to choose from, the more than 300,000 travelers have voted our beloved island of Cebu, 2nd overall! This according to Conde Nast Traveler’s yearly survey which you can find by clicking on this link: https:\/\/www.cntraveler.com\/galleries\/2014-10-20\/top-30-islands-in-the-world-readers-choice-awards-2014<\/a><\/p>\n To make this victory even sweeter, our beloved island has only been bested by another island in the Philippines, Boracay no less!<\/p>\n I’m sure by now some of you may be wondering where on Earth is Palawan on this list given many of us Filipinos know the place has been voted the best island in the world by many and for the past few years already too. Well, fret not because Palawan actually follows Cebu by being on 3rd place!<\/p>\n Travelers have highlighted our island’s choices when it comes to beaches\u00a0\u2013 the same beaches that are said to be “not as wild” as the ones found in Phuket, Thailand. This, plus of course the abundance of up-and\u2013coming dining and shopping choices, are among the many reasons Cebu got to where it is on the survey.<\/p>\n Camotes Island has also been singled out as an awesome place to experience the true island-off-the-grid kind of life.<\/p>\n
