With over 7,000 islands located within the coral triangle of South East Asia, 14 of these these islands in Palawan, Philippines will become home to a futuristic underwater resort dubbed ‘The Last Frontier.’ Essentially these are posh hotels that make use of submarine technology ala Cartoon Network favorite, Sealab (or the Cobra base in the live action GI Joe movie) and is expected to be the biggest in the world as it spreads across these 14 different islands that surround the perimeter of the reefs. Once completed, looking out the glass wall exists the flora and fauna of the best corals in the world, something which the Philippines is known for. Inhabiting the reef are reef fish, mantas, turtles and pellagics and as of late, it really blows your mind to even just imagine what the finished product will look like.

The Philippines is perhaps one of the more hidden gems of South East Asia. The islands are marketed as an adventure zone as the journey itself is an adventure. If you’re a certified diver, the Philippines is best known for its whale shark sightings, soft and hard corals and nudibranchs for macro photography.
