Boracay Island, Philippines

It is located approximately 350 kilometers south of Manila, Philippines. The island is a short distance off the north-western Island of Panay, western Visayas in the Philippines. It has about seven kilometres long and its narrowest point barely 1 kilometer wide, comprising an area of 1,083 hectares.

 While the fine white sand beaches and the crystal clear cool waters of BoracayIsland provide the main attraction, the possibilities for pleasure and adventure in this enchanting paradise are as seemingly endless.
Boracay now has some of the finest hotels and resorts in the Philippines.  It has also become home to amazing restaurants serving up authentic flavors from around the world.  Boracay’s nightlife scene has also developed quite nicely.  Bars and discos can be found up and down Boracay’s white beach, keeping the crowds partying till the early hours.  In peak season Boracay hosts a wide range of international DJs playing to packed parties.

Boracay has also developed with respect to activities.  Now each and every day can be packed with fun adventure.  Scuba diving, parasailing, golfing, horseback riding, kiteboarding, and jet skiing are just a few of the many activities on Boracay.

Boracay hotels are varied to say the least.  From huts on the beach to 5-star resorts, everything is available. 

How to get there:

By Plane
The easiest way to Boracay is to fly direct to Caticlan, which takes all of 36 minutes.


Via Kalibo: The next best way is to fly to Kalibo Airport. From there you take a two-hour (2-hour) ride to Caticlan.For the ride between Kalibo and Caticlan, mini-vans, air-conditioned buses and rental vehicles run in both directions, direct from the airport and Caticlan Jetty Port.

By Land
From Iloilo or Bacolod on neighboring NegrosIsland, the only way to get to Boracay is by bus. Mini-vans or buses ply the 4 to 5 hour Iloilo-Caticlan route. The trip is split into two: a 3 to 4-hour drive from Iloilo to Kalibo, and, transfering to another vehicle, from Kalibo to Caticlan, for a one-and-a-half-hour drive. A non-stop, 3 to 4-hour taxi ride from Iloilo to Caticlan is always an option.
