Hotels in Zambales, Philippines

Zambales is a province in the Philippines, about 4 hours north of Manila, with a tropical climate that stays warm year-round (average 80F/27C). It's famous for its crescent-shaped coves like Anawangin and Nagsasa, formed by volcanic ash from Mount Pinatubo's 1991 eruption. During the dry season from November to April, you can surf the consistent waves at Candelaria or hike to the crater lake, while the rainy season (May to October) offers lush green landscapes and quieter beaches at lower prices.
