Boracay - Philippines

It is not easy to choose which island to stay in the Philippines, after all there are more than 7 thousand options, and a huge portion of them are made of divine places. But if you're looking for a place that also has options for nightlife and water sports (including diving), the decision is less complicated: your destination is Boracay.

Boracay definitely appeared to the world in 2003, when an international magazine placed the small island as the second best on the planet. That was enough for all the eyes of beach travelers to turn to her, changing the local scene.

If before Boracay was a more or less calm Filipino corner, today its main streets are a mess of tricycles (the motorcycles that work as taxis on the island), its nights are very agitated – it is considered one of the best in Southeast Asia in this matter, competing with Thailand's giants – and its mountain slopes are slowly being taken over by condominiums and new homes.

Don't worry, the paradisiacal scenery is still there and you can still find many peaceful places in the middle of it all, making this little piece of land with a sea dotted with beautiful boats with blue sails continue to be an easy option for those who just want to rest in the Philippines .

Where to stay in Boracay:

Despite being small (it's only 7 km from end to end at its farthest ends), Boracay has some divisions that you should understand before choosing your hotel.

White Beach: is the most famous beach and also the party destination. It faces the open sea, so the water is a little rougher than the opposite part. It is divided into 3 areas: Station 1, Station 2 and Station 3.

Station 1: is the prime area of White Beach, the most paradisiacal part of the beach and recommended for those who want a little peace of mind (the further north you stay, the better your nights sleep will be). The biggest lodging options are resorts, several with direct access to the sand.

Station 2: located in the middle of the beach and is recommended for those who want to party.

Station 3: good area for those looking for cheaper (and sometimes more authentic) hostels and accommodation.

Bolabog Beach: is the beach opposite White Beach. It tends to have calmer waters, which makes it the departure and arrival area of most water sports excursions on the island. It is highly recommended for those looking for affordable accommodation, as it is close to White Beach and the center of Boracay.

These are the most famous regions, but there are also several other small beaches, some hidden from everything and with great resorts.

Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa

Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa is located in the best corner of Boracay, on two small practically private beaches, surrounded by hills covered in greenery and bathed by the sea where the sun sets and makes you grateful for life almost every end of the day.

It has a complete structure like any good resort, formidable restaurants and large rooms, with just the right amount of decor, in addition to completely isolated cabins, divinely perched on the slopes and with that look that makes it difficult for you to accept that one day you will have to leave. .

In short, if you stay at Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa, you will be in the best of Boracay and never have to leave. In fact, you won't even want to.

Astoria Boracay

Astoria Boracay is a good choice for those looking to stay a little closer to the action, as it's on the edge of Station 1 and Station 2 and at the end of the White Beach Path, the pedestrian-only path that runs along the beach, passing in front of bars, restaurants and everything else.

What to do in Boracay

The range of options for activities in Boracay is impressive, most of them linked to the sea (of course). From scuba diving to kitesurfing, from peaceful kayaking to the banana boat (or its craziest variant, the flyfish), you can only stay still if you really want to.

Some small islands nearby are completely dedicated to recreation, as if they were amusement parks. You can, for example, jump from trampolines of varying heights directly into the sea on Magic Island. Or you can explore caves that open to the ocean on the even more island-themed Crystal Cove.

If these games don't make your head, it is still possible to snorkel to see corals in the region called Coral Garden or just touring the island on quad bikes, discovering new landscapes and beaches.

For any of these activities, the ideal is to hire a company that organizes everything. Southwest seems to be the best of them all, but there are others as well.

And if you didn't want any adventures, just consider taking a stroll through the tumultuous center of Boracay, especially around Lake Balabag. However, don't expect absolutely no aesthetic beauty in the area, just shopping and places to eat or drink.

Or forget all that and just stay on the beach, which is already a good idea.
