The western paradise of White Beach

One of Boracay’s two largest beaches, White Beach leaves you in utter awe of its picturesque coastline. Perfect for swimming and snorkelling, White Beach also provides fun water activities and a promenade with numerous food, shopping and pampering outlets. Hotels perched right on the beach offer the epitome of luxury and paradise, such as the family-friendly Discover Shores Resort & Spa and the Fridays Resort.

Cheaper accommodation can be found on the southern end of White Beach such as the charismatic Dave’s Straw Hat Inn and the Surfside Boracay Resort & Spa, which both offer exceptional rooms and services for a bargain price.  

Party through the day and night at Station 2

White Beach is split into three stations, with the second one being the place to stay if you’re interested in downing a few at the island’s clubs and bars. You’ll also be able to walk from bar to beach without your drinks getting warm.

Accommodation in this area typically offers quality rooms at mid-range prices. You can stay on the beach at the Mandarin Island Hotel and Le Soleil de Boracay and still be close to the nightlife. Further inland, Fat Jimmy’s Resort provides great family-run accommodation for travellers on a budget, and nearby is the Boracay Holiday Resort, which features a huge swimming pool and a day spa.

Lose the crowds on a private beach

What better way to spend your island getaway than separated from the majority of Boracay’s vacationers in a hotel with its own private beach. Instead of sharing the water and sand with a large crowd, you can swim and lounge in space with your room only metres away.

The Fairways & Bluewater Resort features three private beach areas right near the property, so you’re spoilt for choice. Lush landscapes and excellent dive sites can be enjoyed at the Panoly Resort and Shangri-La, which both have exquisite private beaches and make you feel like royalty.
