Polillo Island is rustic, beautiful, and a bit off the beaten path. Because it's not as developed as Boracay or Palawan, being prepared is key to having a stress-free trip.
Whether you're visiting for a weekend or staying for a week at La Julia Island Beach Resort, here are the essential items you shouldn't leave home without.
ATMs are very limited on the island and many local shops only accept cash. Bring enough to cover your transport, food, and activities.
Essential for island hopping! Protect your phone, camera, and wallet from splashes during boat rides and transfers.
Protect yourself and the ocean. Many of the coral gardens around Polillo are pristine—let's keep them that way.
While the resort has power, electricity on the island can occasionally fluctuate. A power bank ensures your devices stay charged for all those photos.
Some sandbars and cave areas have rocky or pebbly sections. Water shoes will make exploring much more comfortable.
Island life comes with island bugs. Bring a reliable repellent, especially for late-afternoon beach strolls.
Tropical weather can be unpredictable. A small, packable poncho is great to have in your day bag.
Polillo is a remote island. If you have specific medications or toiletries you can't live without, make sure to bring enough for your entire stay as local pharmacies may not carry specific brands.
