Boracay, Philippines 

From the moment we arrived in the Philippines, people recommended a trip to this small, but beautiful island only an hour flight away.  We were not disappointed.  We rented a house right on the most amazing white sand beach that I have ever seen.  The beach, named White Beach, stretches for 5 miles with sand SO fine it is like sugar, and continues for hundreds of meters into the ocean. And the water was equally stunning with its myriad shades of blue.
