Recognized by several travel publications as one of the best islands in the world, Boracay continues to capture the hearts of travelers worldwide. Lying northwest of the larger Panay Island in Visayas, this wrench-shaped resort island is laced with sandy coasts. With white sand shores for miles, it offers a wide variety of beach spots, both exclusive and public. These sand pockets make it one of the most famous beach and holiday destinations in the Philippines.
You can get to Boracay from Manila by air via the Caticlan Airport or Kalibo International Airport. Another option is to travel by ferry from Batangas Port to Caticlan Port. Depending on the season and weather, you’ll arrive at either Cagban Port or Tambisaan Port in Boracay.
Covering three barangays in Malay, Aklan — Yapak, Balabag, and Manoc-Manoc, Boracay’s residents thrive mainly in the tourism industry. Tour operators, travel agencies, and food spots (restaurants, eateries, and stalls) dot the island. It’s also hardly surprising that the island abounds in accommodation options across all budget ranges.
