El Nido #1
Entalula Beach!
NUMBER ONE BEACH IN THE WORLD 🌴
Entalula Beach ranks first in the World’s 50 Best Beaches list in 2026.
Nestled in El Nido, Palawan and dubbed as Palawan’s “overlooked slice of heaven,” Entalula Beach is an underrated destination that boasts a stretch of white sand and towering limestone cliffs.
“The water is exceptionally clear, with calm conditions that make it easy to swim and simply take it all in. With access only by boat, it remains quieter and helps preserve its more natural feel. It’s the contrast of majestic cliffs, clear water, and amazing seclusion that gives Entalula its edge as a place that feels both dramatic and calm at the same time,” shares World’s 50 Best Beaches on its website.
This beach also sees fewer crowds, offering a touch of exclusivity for visitors. Entalula Beach was also ranked the 2nd-best beach in the world in the 2025 list.
Another Philippine beach made it to the list, with Kalanggaman Island in Leyte ranking 25th out of 50. The island is known for its white-sand bar that extends into the open water.
