Ten Things to Discover:

1. Discover Boracay’s morning glory

Whether you’re a morning person or not, to witness a sunrise by the sea becomes a cathartic experience. From your panoramic window or private veranda, marvel at the sky’s changing colors, watching the playful dance of the heavens. Better yet, get a front-row seat on the eastern side of the island on Bulabog Beach and silently meditate as the diffused light reveals the rising sun below the horizon, promising you a day of wonder unlike any other. If you’re up for a bit of a hike and some morning exercise, enjoy a sweeping 360-degree view on Mount Luho, Boracay’s highest point that rises to an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level. After taking all this beauty in, enjoy the bountiful breakfast buffet that awaits you at Sands Restaurant. The next day, forget about that wake-up call and make it a point to stay under the sheets much longer than usual, losing yourself in the comfortable embrace of your bed, the goose down pillows and the luxurious amenities designed for your ultimate pleasure. Late risers will appreciate that breakfast is served until 10am, a thoughtful courtesy that offers guests those extra moments to linger under the luxurious sheets! It is, after all, your “staycation”!

2. Discover Boracay’s Beaches

5. Discover the island from the sea. 

A great way to explore Boracay is from the ocean, and one of the best ways is to sail on a paraw or native outrigger sailboat.

  • THE BEST RESORT ON THE ISLAND. We have been to many resorts on Boracay, but this is the best by far. The staff are very accommodating, very nice. Kids have a kids room and an activity every 4pm. There are free snacks and snow cones poolside the whole day. The rooms are comfy and cold. The food is yummy. Definitely worth the price!”
