The jewel of the Philippines: adventure and relaxation on the island of Boracáy

The small island of Boracáy, located in the heart of the Philippine archipelago, is an attractive tourist destination of the first order. It stands as one of the preferred destinations for many Asians, when they think of enjoying an ideal vacation. This tropical island stands out for having incredible beaches with fine sand and turquoise waters.

In fact, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, and it has a very good tourist infrastructure with activities 100% oriented towards pleasure and enjoyment. It was discovered for tourism in the 1970s and one of its greatest assets is White Beach, considered by many to be one of the best beaches in the world. It also boasts a tropical forest, and is dotted with dreamy caves and waterfalls.

White Beach, along with Bulabog Beach, are its two main tourist beaches, straddling the island's narrow central strip. White Beach faces west while Bulabog Beach faces east. There are, in the 7 km length of the island, several more beaches, each one with interesting and unique attractions.

In addition, in a complementary way, and due to their orientation, White Beach and Bulabog represent opposite poles in every way. While White Beach rises like a paradise on earth, with transparent calm waters, palm trees and fine sand for a dream stay; Bulabog, with its much rougher waters, is ideal for practicing sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing.

The flagship island of Philippine tourism is a paradise on earth, a little gem of just 2,500 acres, surrounded by pristine waters.

One of the various luxury resorts on the island.

In fact, one of the stages of the Asian Windsurfing Tour is held on this beach, as well as the Boracay International Funboard Cup every January. The practice of golf is also presented as an attractive alternative for enjoyment with the Fairways & Bluewater, an international category golf course designed by Graham Marsh. Other practices such as diving are interesting activities to enjoy its superb landscapes.

As a place with a tropical monsoon climate that is the island of Boracay, the meteorological year is divided into dry season and rainy season. The dry season is characterized by mild temperatures, low rainfall and easterly winds, making it the ideal time to stay. The rainy season, on the other hand, presents high relative humidity and frequent torrential rains, with winds from the west.

Its hotel and gastronomic offer lives up to expectations, offering attractive accommodation on the beach and a wide variety of restaurants nourished with the exquisite fresh seafood that the island itself provides. As you might expect, it also highlights its lively nightlife, with restaurants and nightclubs on the waterfront.
