Known far and wide as an island paradise.  Boracay has charmed vacationers with its powder white sands, crystal blue waters and purposely laid back pace, located at the northern tip of Panay Province. Sun worshippers from all over the world visit Boracay yearly, and some have even made it their second home.  It is no wonder, therefore, that French, German, Spanish and English can be heard spoken in the island.  The culinary fare is equally exciting featuring a wide range from Thai and Austrian to Belgian and Filipino.  Numerous water sport facilities, including dive shops, are on hand as well as a sprinkling of bars and discos. Most visitors however prefer to sit back and enjoy the sun.

Special Interests:

Water sports – It is by far the most popular recreational activity in Boracay. There’s a whole array of activities to do in and around the water, from riding the banana boat to paraw sailing to diving. Most resorts offer facilities for water sports, and there are dive shops all around.

Partying – Boracay is one of those rare places where “nightlife” is just a convenient term for what’s actually an all-day affair. Party hard, party all day long, because Boracay serves up hedonism at happy hour, which is just about every hour.

Shopping – Souvenir staples from Boracay include beads, henna tattoos, and T- shirts proudly advertising Boracay. D’Mall in Station 2 is a convenient organized set-up of stalls and shops that sell anything one would want to bring back from the beach. Sidewalk stalls and convenience stores abound through the beach strip, and in Station 3, there is Talipapa, where standard goods usually go for a cheaper price.

Spas – Boracay isn’t lacking in its offerings of indulgence and high end spas. If lolling by the sand suits your tastes better, get a massage by the beach for a tiny fraction of spa prices.
