Boracay Island - One of the most vibrant destinations in Asia!

Boracay is one of the over 7,000 island of the Philippines located approximately 315 km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. The Boracay Island and its beaches were awarded for many times. Boracay was awarded in the "Travelers' Choice 2011" by TripAdvisor as the second best beach (out of 25) in the world.

The island comprises the barangays of Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak (3 of the 17 barangays which make up the municipality of Malay), and is under the administrative control of the Philippine Tourism Authority in coordination with the Provincial Government of Aklan.

There are a number of accommodation types are scattered all over the island, ranging from luxurious hotels to budget, spartan rooms. Along White Beach, location is often specified in relation to three boat stations. Station 2 is roughly at the center of the beach, with Stations 1 and 3 respectively to the north and south. The whitest and finest texture sand is found in Station 1 area at the northern end of the beach.

Station 3 is where most of the cheaper lodgings are located, while Station 2 is are for those who desire to be in proximity of the bars. Station 1 is where you can find higher-end and mid-tier accommodations. While previously targeted toward the more upscale vacationers, as of 2010 there are more mid-tier options in this frequently photographed section of the island.

Most of the Boracay hotels and resorts have seasonal price levels, with high season prices generally coinciding with Amihan Season dates. Some have peak period pricing during periods of heavy tourism (usually including Christmas / New Year, Easter / Holy Week, and Chinese New Year periods).

To explore around the island's coast, motorized bancas and sailing paraws are available for rent. These are outrigger canoes and are common sight in waters around the island. The sailing paraw is a narrow hulled boat with outriggers either side and with passengers sometimes seated on a trampoline platform between the outrigger supports. These are extremely fast off the wind, but can be unwieldy for inexperienced sailors.
