Boracay's white sand, coconut palm lined beach stretches for 4 kms (2 1/2 miles), making dreams of paradise and romance a reality. Offshore, the beautiful, gleaming, tourquoise sea with its warm tropical water is more inviting than any swimming pool on a steaming hot day. What a place to meet for friends and lovers to share long sunny days and memorable moonlit nights!!!
There's an incredible choice of restaurants, things to do, water sports and the most international group of travelers, tourists and "expats" in the Philippines. There are many exotic places around the world but the people you meet and share interesting conversations leave you with best, lasting memories. The locals are still mellow ( don't hassle you, for example, like the Javanese in BALI ) and friendly without the "Hi Joe, where you come from? where you going?" that you will find in many other areas of the provinces. And prices - they can range from $6 for a basic Nipa Hut in off season to over a $150 for a five star resort!! Even U$500 suites with several bedrooms and an office have recently been opened for well known celebrities and government leaders. Where else does such a wide range of choices exist?
Casa Camilla- Boracay's beachfront Spanish style building with the front balcony windows of our two new 2nd floor Seaview rooms are 10 meters from the sea's high tide mark. All of our cottages facing each other more or less are located behind the front building with a 2-1/2 meter wide right of way in the middle, from 50 to 100 meters to the sea's high tide mark. 90% of all Boracay Beachfront Resorts have similiar layouts.
FUN IN THE SUN Over the years we have noticed that many visitors come to Boracay and get bored after a day or two, unable to "do nothing." Call us lazy but we love doing nothing, falling asleep, reading novels while gently swinging in a hammock. All beaches and islands change once they become well known worldwide but somehow Boracay has not lost its wonderful barefoot culture and will never have 4 wheeled vehicles on the beach path. I never forget my first impressions of California after getting back from Boracay and other S.E. Asian beaches wondering "where will the cement end?" from San Diego to Santa Barbara. And the California curfew from 10PM to 5AM prevents any kind of serious, funloving partying. In Boracay, you can get totally "wasted", "hammered", or "loaded", stay up all night dancing until the wee hours of the morning, "pass out" on the beach without having some beach patrol tapping you on the shoulder, telling you to move on or worse yet give you a citation. Life on the beach in Boracay seems so FREE and easy going and the rents will never require a major corporate paycheck to survive (and thrive) there with a quality lifestyle. Boracays' fishing families have more presence on the beach "scene" but are very laid back. I hope I have helped you form a picture of life on Boracay. Whether you're living and working in a busy large city like Metro-Manila, or somewhere with a high cost of living like Japan, Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong or coming from afar in Europe, Australia the States or Canada, NOW MORE THAN EVER, YOU DESERVE A HOLIDAY. We receive many emails requesting a list of "things to do" while visiting Boracay; this is one of the most common questions from our guests on Boracay. I guess after leading very busy, active lives in highly developed countries people have difficulty with "chilling" and idleness. My wife and I love to read novels, walk the length of the beach and back, chat with our world traveler guests, and play board games like chess and scrabble. Spending endless hours to talk and listen to each other's thoughts, feelings and plans for the past, present and future in privacy fills so much of our time. In other words, you have time to get to know the people you meet or to bond with family and friends. You can also take a boat trip around the island ( half day for U$ 10 to U$15 ), stroll the small Laurel Island, go snorkeling and feed the tropical fish, stop for a picknik ay Baling Hai, a small private beach where a couple serve food using a basket, lowering the menu down from a high cliff, followed by the food. Just a 500 meters walk away is a good private spot at the end of the beach to go snorkeling and / or make love, hidden away by many rock formations. You can rent bicycles or motorbikes to cruise the VERY limited network of roads on Boracay ( remember Boracay is only 1000 hectares or 2500 acres ). Dance til 4AM at the former "Beachcomber" ( recently under new management who changed the name ) in Balabag, the northern side of WHITE BEACH or in the middle of the beach at the Boracay Regency Hotel's disco, "The Wave" after dinner and drinks or coffee until sunrise if you have the energy is another. Learn to windsurf and scuba dive. Go water skiing or other water sports like jet skis or being towed on an inflatable are a couple other activities.
How to Get There; BY AIR; There are several airlines, Asian Spirit and Seair with Smaller Planes to Caticlan Airport and Cebu-Pacific and Philippine Airlines with Large Planes to Kalibo Airport , all having offices VERY close walking distance to the domestic airport with airfares from $80 to $130 RT (P2200+ to P3250 one way) - 45 minutes, Air-Conditioned Buses are waiting at the Kalibo airport when you arrive. You will enjoy the beautiful tropical valleys of Aklan in comfort for about 1-1/2 hours on your way to Caticlan where the local "banca" ( outrigger )will take you to Boracay in about 20 minutes. The P100 ticket you buy at the Kalibo airport includes the bus and boat ride over to Boracay is P20. OR
Take Asian Spirit Airlines to Caticlan (smaller plane) 1 hour then 5min. to Caticlan's boat station (P20) to Boracay Boat Station #3 (first Stop). The 1-1/2 hour scenic bus ride brings you directly from the airport in Kalibo to the Caticlan Boat Station and a private boat trip ( 15 minutes ) to Boracay is now P400.
By SHIP; MBRS Passenger Ships depart Manila's North Harbor's Pier 8 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5PM and arrive early the next morning from 7AM to 8AM. I didn't take a ship for years but they have improved drastically so I do recommend them now for the budget conscious. A cabin for 4 (one extra child probaby would be okay) is about $21 each one way.
