I can't help my self not to write about Boracay, because I'm so inlove with this place.
Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and agencies. The island comprises the barangays of Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak in themunicipality of Malay, in Aklan Province. The island is administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. It is also emerging among the top destinations for tranquility and nightlife.[
In 2012, Boracay was awarded as the best island in the world from the international travel magazine

Any iconic photos of Boracay you’ve seen are likely to be from the westward-facing White Beach — four kilometers of white, powdery fine sand dotted with resorts, shops, and restaurants.
White Beach is composed of three sections.
The northernmost section – Station 1 – has the widest beachfront. This has the best (and most expensive) resorts and hotels.
The center of White Beach is Station 2. People come here to eat, shop, and party.
If you’re looking for a quieter area, then Station 3, the southernmost section, is for you.
Because the waters off White Beach are calm during Amihan season (November to May), tourism is at its peak during these months when the northeastern winds blow. Conditions reverse during the rainy season, when the Habagat or monsoon winds blow.
Bulabog Beach, on the eastern side of the island opposite White Beach, has large waves and strong winds year-round. This makes it a hotspot for windsurfing and kiteboarding. In fact, Bulabog Beach is considered Asia’s top kitesurf destination.
Whichever side of the island or end of the beach you choose, there’s a room for every type of traveler here. Budget accommodations start at around US$ 17, and can go all the way to US$ 300 per person at prime resorts like Discovery Shores.
And because Boracay gets tourists from different parts of the globe, you’ll find a wide variety of food choices: Chinese, Indian, American, Mexican, French, Italian, Swiss —even Moroccan food! Fresh seafood is a given.
There’s no shortage of activities for you at this island paradise. Boracay has around 25 dive sites that cater to all levels of experience. You can go parasailing. Take a paraw (native outrigger boat) for a tour of the island. Go waterskiing. Or cliff diving.
After all the sports, indulge in a luxurious massage right on the beach or at one of the spas. Enjoy a healthy fruit shake at Jonah’s. Take a relaxing dip at the infinity pool of the Shangri-La Resort and Spa, with its mesmerizing view of the sea. Shop for shell jewelry. And when the sun goes down, you can head to any of Boracay’s bars for a taste of the island nightlife. Cocktails, draft beer, and imported ales flow nightly as live bands and pounding disco music entertain you.
Most importantly, don’t forget to soak up some rays and lounge around on the fine white sand that made Boracay famous.
My Experience
I visited this island because I've heard a lot of stories about my friends and family's good experience and I've read a lot of Thumbs up reviews about this place.
Me and my boyfriend kinda arrived late going to the Island so the first time I step on the Island is not an amazing start of my story. So we headed to the hotel right away and felt excited to visit the night life.But since my boyfriend was still tired from his 12hours work we decided to just have our dinner at the hotel and rest. We know it will be a long day the next day.
During our 3-day stay in Boracay Island we were able to do some activities.
Like Helmet Diving
Island Hopping
and Snorkeling. Foods were amazing! Fresh seafood ,nice restaurants and well cooked Filipino Food.
Well there's a lot more of activities that we should try but since we just want to enjoy and fall in love with the place we decided to stay within the island and feel how amazing the place is.
While looking at the white beach and the people enjoying the sun and the cool breeze coming from the sea I cant help my self to pray and thank God for His wonderful gift to us.He just love us so much that He provides His wonderful and amazing creations in this world just to make us happy.
I had my second visit to the Island with my sister and friend. And now I'm planning my third visit.
