We’re back from our few days getaway to Boracay. I have to say, that place is amazing. I’ve been to many beaches before but seriously, Boracay ranks as one of my top 5 favourites. It’s so clean, warm and safe. The music is amazing, the food so so cheap and the hospitality exceptional. I would definitely go back.
Some highlights below:

Some favourite tidbits:
- Super clear refreshing water. Not as warm as Thailand, but warmer than Hawaii.
- Cheap water sports (compared with other tourist-heavy beach towns).
- Fresh coconut juice, straight from the coconut. I LOVE ASIA because of these perks. Fresh fruits everywhere, all the time!
- Great house music. Actually, great entertainment in general. We ate fresh seafood for 10 people and watched a live band play for 2 hours in an outdoor beach restaurant for a TOTAL of 60 USD. The band did acoustic covers of Poker Face, Nobody, Miss Independent and other Top 40 hits. So talented!
- Massages. An hour for 6 dollars. On the beach, with a professional masseuse.
- No hookers, or gigolos. Or at least we couldn’t see them anywhere on the main strip. It’s a clean, family-friendly, high entertainment island. So great.
- Did I mention the fresh fruit juices? Coconut, mango, banana, pineapples? TO DIE FOR!
Sighhhhhhh. So beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend this place.
