5 Philippine Hotels And Resorts With Instagrammable Views

Put those hashtags to good use.

Travelers know that there are countless considerations when choosing where to take recess from real life. These days, people look for the aesthetic or the Instagram-worthiness of every place they visit. Gone are the days when people bought film for their cameras to document their vacations. Instagram now serves the purpose of the nearly extinct physical album. You can no longer just stay somewhere and not post a single photo of the place, especially if it fits the Instagram feed you're trying to nurture. You know what they say, "Pics, or it didn't happen."

If this is your mantra, it's best to choose the places you visit based on how well they photograph. The easiest route to gain those hearts is to go to places with Instagrammable views. All you have to do is know where to go.

This island getaway guarantees a picture perfect view at every turn. Besides, nothing sums up #playtime more than a snapshot of you playing in Misibis Bay’s chess yard.

No other resort in the Philippines can brag about the fact that they are the first and only eco and agri tourism destination in the country. Booking a room with them means being able to take in every gift of nature imaginable. For starters, you might go #bananas over the 177-hectare banana plantation surrounding the resort, or you can cultivate your #wanderlust as you go across the rich property of Hijo Resorts on their river or forest tours. With the variety of activities to do here, you will not run out of hashtags to use in that winning Instagram photo.
