Compact. That’s another word that pops into my head — aside from “paradise” — whenever Boracay is mentioned. But make no mistake, this small island off the northwestern coast of Aklan in Visayas is a powerhouse in the Philippines’ tourism industry. Considered one of the best islands in the world, it brandishes powdery white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and spectacular sunsets. It also features exciting water activities, delectable culinary fares, and fun nightlife.
Caticlan Airport is the main gateway to the island, but Kalibo International Airport also serves the island. Traveling by ferry from Manila is possible via Batangas Port. From Caticlan Port, you will arrive in Boracay at either Cagban Port or Tambisaan Port.
Boracay Island boasts a wide range of accommodation options, catering to travelers with different budget preferences. Some people prioritize exploring the island over spending too much on their lodgings. If you are this type of traveler, you don’t have to worry because you’ll find no shortage of affordable accommodations in Boracay.
