Palawan’s Hidden Beach in El Nido was included in The World’s 50 Best Beaches.

Crafted by over 750 travel journalists, editors, bloggers, influencers, and agencies, Hidden Beach is described as a “one-of-a-kind” as it is tucked away behind towering limestone cliffs.

“The small cove can only be accessed by boat, followed by a quick swim through a small opening. And once you reach this unparalleled paradise you will never want to leave!” the travel magazine wrote.

“Crystal clear, shallow water surrounded by white sand and majestic limestone walls with lush greenery and palms, there is no question why so many of our beach experts voted this one of the best,” it added.

Best visited during the dry season, hidden beach has great temperatures every month of the year.

The cove is well-protected from wind and waves, making the hidden beach ideal for jumping into the ocean.

Meanwhile, Lucky in Australia topped the list, followed by Source D’Argen in Seychelles.

Also included the top 10 are Whitehaven in Australia (4th), One Foot is Cook Islands (5th), Trunk in United States Virgin Island (6th), Honopu in Hawaii (7th), Reynisfjara in Iceland (8th), Navagio in Greece (9th), and Balandra in Mexico (10th).
