While some insta girls color their feed with pastel, Kimi Juan-Caja chose to color hers with the blue waters and white sand of Brgy. Buaya Beach, Sicogon Island. The island was actually a popular tourist sport during the '70s but lost its spot to Boracay. Now, the island is trying to rebuild its reputation by highlighting its clear waters and long, white sand beaches. Because it's a hidden treasure, the beauty of Buaya Beach is preserved. This is the perfect place for island-hopping;  go on a tour in nearby Isla De Gigantes and Tamaquin Island, which is a great spot for snorkeling and diving.

This insta girl blesses us with the everyday beauty of one of the hidden treasures of the Philippines—Siargao. She is able to do this because she lives on the very island. Aside from La Union, Siargao is one of our best surfing spots and the photo here clearly shows the reason. With clear blue waters and a mid-level waves, it's perfect for surf-tasters.

The beaches of  El Nido, Palawan are true gems—pure white sand and clear blue waters lit by the sun in dream-like fashion. The place teems with coral reefs and diverse species of fish. Diving and snorkeling are not the only activities on the island, you can also explore the Bacuit archipelago, which features steep karst cliffs.

If you want to experience a Boracay without the noise and the throng then discover this hidden gem. Carabao island is actually just an hour away from Boracay and it features a farm that gives you an overlooking view of its beach. There are a lot of activities you can do on the island aside from the typical snorkeling and diving activities. You can explore Koding-Koding point where you can experience swimming through an underwater tunnel leading to the ocean. If thrill is your thing, go cliff diving.

If you visit Siargao, you should totally consider stopping by this island too. Also located in Surigao Del Norte, Guyam island is actually one of the most popular tourist spots for island-hopping. The ocean is a luscious mix of blue and green. It is a perfect spot for snorkeling.
