Holiday in Boracay

What makes Boracay special as a destination?

Boracay is a tiny Philippine island that hosts one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The White Beach stretches over four kilometers along the west coast and is famous for its powdery white sand that hardly heats up even in the blazing sun. The shallow, turquoise water shimmers in shades that one usually only knows from photo editing programs — and yet they are real here. The island is only seven kilometers long and one kilometer wide, yet it offers an entertainment program that puts some metropolises to shame. The White Beach is divided into three stations: Station 1 in the north is calm and luxurious, Station 2 is the lively center with bars, restaurants, and nightlife, and Station 3 in the south offers budget accommodations and a relaxed vibe. The east coast around Bulabog Beach is a mecca for kite and windsurfers. From November to April, the Amihan winds blow consistently, creating perfect conditions. Beginners can learn to kite here in just a few days, while professionals showcase spectacular jumps over the shallow water. In 2018, Boracay was completely closed for six months — an unprecedented measure for environmental rehabilitation mandated by President Duterte. The island returned completely transformed: illegal structures were demolished, the sewage system was renewed, and strict environmental regulations were introduced. The result is a cleaner, less crowded Boracay that deserves its reputation as a dream beach destination. The sunsets at White Beach are legendary — the sky explodes in orange, pink, and violet as sailboats (Paraws) glide as silhouettes over the water. After that, the nightlife begins: beach bars serve cocktails right on the sand, fire shows entertain guests, and the parties in the clubs of Station 2 go on until the early morning hours.
