The latest ranking of the world’s most beautiful beaches has just been released at the end of April. In 2026, a still relatively undiscovered gem in the Philippines has taken the top spot. Discover it here!
The verdict is finally in! Nestled in the heart of the Philippine archipelago, Entalula Beach has just been crowned the most beautiful beach in the world in 2026, according to the World’s 50 Best Beaches ranking, revealed on 28 April. It comes ahead of Fteri Beach in Greece and Wharton Beach in Australia. A well-deserved win for a place that remains largely untouched by mass tourism.
A dramatic setting for a secluded beach
Located on the island of Palawan, Entalula Beach offers a setting that leaves an immediate impression. Towering limestone cliffs rise behind a stretch of brilliantly white sand, creating a striking, almost unreal landscape. At the heart of this natural jewel stands a remarkable rock formation, adding to the already dazzling scenery. It is sure to delight photographers and lovers of grand landscapes alike.
Accessible only by boat from the municipality of El Nido, the beach has managed to retain its authenticity. This limited access helps keep visitor numbers low, preserving a peaceful atmosphere far removed from that of crowded seaside resorts.
A must-see stop in the heart of Bacuit Bay
Part of the famous El Nido island-hopping routes, Entalula Beach is included in Tour B, one of the region’s most popular itineraries. The beach is therefore among the jewels of Bacuit Bay, renowned for its rock formations and turquoise waters.
This boat excursion offers the chance to explore the full richness of the surrounding area. The route also includes a visit to Snake Island (a striking sandbar) as well as explorations of two sea caves: Cathedral Cave and Cudugnon Cave.
