"Boracay the island where one desire and wanted to be during this hot-summer season in the Philippines"

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 the municipality 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.

Boracay Island is located off the northwest corner of Panay Island, and belongs to the Western Visayas island-group, or Region VI, of the Philippines. The island is approximately seven kilometers long, dog-bone shaped with the narrowest spot being less than one kilometer wide, and has a total land area of 10.32 square kilometers.

South-facing Cagban Beach is located across a small strait from the jetty port at Caticlan on Panay island, and the Cagban jetty port serves as Boracay's main entry and exit point during most of the year. When wind and sea conditions dictate, east-facing Tambisaan Beach serves as an alternative entry and exit point. Boracay's two primary tourism beaches, White Beach and Bulabog Beach, are located on opposite sides of the island's narrow central area. White Beach faces westward and Bulabog Beach faces eastward. The island also has several other beaches.

White Beach, the main tourism beach, is about four kilometers long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses. In the central portion, for about two kilometers, there is a footpath known as the Beachfront Path separating the beach itself from the establishments located along it. North and south of the Beachfront Path, beachfront establishments do literally front along the beach itself. Several roads and paths connect the Beachfront Path with Boracay's Main Road, a vehicular road which runs the length of the island. At the extreme northern end of White Beach, a footpath runs around the headland there and connects White Beach with Diniwid Beach.

Bulabog Beach, across the island from White Beach, is the second most popular tourism beach on the island and Boracay's main windsurfing and kite boarding area.

Boracay is divided for land use and conservation purposes into 400 hectares of preserved forestland and 628.96 hectares of agricultural land.  Source:  Wikipedia

Alta Vista de Boracay: The Island's Own Hillside Paradise

Posted by Bianca C

Summer is finally here! So where do I plan to spend my favorite season of the year? None other than the white sand beaches of Boracay! Just like every other 20-something year old out there, I am looking forward to spending a few extremely hot summer days lounging on beach chairs, soaking up the sun and watching the calming waves of the sea with an ice cold Jonah’s mango shake in hand.

People always think of Boracay as the typical beach-by-day, party-by-night summer getaway. Back when I was in college, my friends and I would spend our summer vacations in Boracay and we would make it a point to always search for a resort that was located right in the heart of all the hustle-and-bustle. But as much fun as it is to be in the center of all the madness, it’s also nice to appreciate the sun, sand and sea away from all the commotion.
I guess you can say that it comes with age, but for our upcoming trip this summer, my friends and I decided that we wanted to try something different for a change. We agreed to find a place that’s more serene and secluded.  We wanted to find a resort wherein we could lounge around and relax all day without being bothered by noisy crowds, and at the same time still enjoy the beauty of the beach.

Upon learning about Alta Vista de Boracay, we instantly fell in love with the luxurious and tranquil appeal of the resort. Located on a prime, hillside location with a gorgeous view of the surrounding ocean and fairways, it has all the makings of a private sanctuary. Being one of the largest resorts on the island, it consists of 17 buildings with 500 beautifully furbished rooms, with a mix of studio and loft suites. The resort also has its own infinity pool, spa and steam room to help guests unwind in a more urban atmosphere. For beach babies like me though, Alta Vista provides access to three of the most popular ones on the island: White Beach, Punta Bunga and Puka Beach.

Swimming and frolicking around the beach can also get pretty tiring, so for days when my friends and I will prefer to stay in, Alta Vista also offers a variety of activities within their grounds. One can access the net, go zip-lining, horseback riding, and even sing videoke! My friends and I LOVE to sing (despire our blatant lack of vocal talent) so we are most definitely going to drop by the resort’s videoke room at least once or twice during our stay!

The resort also has its own signature restaurant, Cafe Vista, which allows guests to indulge in a tasty selection of Filipino, Asian and Continental cuisine, while giving them the option to enjoy the view of Boracay's white sand beaches and clear blue water. Since my friends and I also love to eat, we will definitely spend a lot of time in Cafe Vista to enjoy coffee, meals and even a few after dinner drinks.

After reading up on all that the resort has to offer, I am more excited than ever to get away from all the stress of Metro Manila! I can't wait to just sit back, relax and enjoy Boracay with the girls in the comfort of our chosen summer sanctuary, Alta Vista de Boracay!

What's "IN" in Elnido, Palawan?  Travel infos before you travel...


El Nido, Palawan, according to most travelers who made their personal travel to the place that its one of the perfect place for family, group island hopping, kayaking, snorkeling and diving.

The place has 250 Million year-old limestone cliffs, more than 888 species of fish, 4 archeological sites, 45 islands and about 2,645 hectares of Mangrove.

The lime stones cliffs of El Nido were naturally carved out of extensive and thick layers of coral deposits.  They formed about 250 million years ago in the shallow sea covering the area that North Vietnam and South China now occupy.  These layers slowly rose from the sea as a result of the collision of India and mainland China about 60 million years ago.

Science Facts says:  El Nido is part of the Eurasian Plate, an entirely separate plate from the Philippine Mobile Belt to which the rest of the country belongs.  A proof of this fact is that Palawan has no active volcanoes, unlike the rest of the Philippine archipelago.  Another is that limestone cliffs similar to those in Palawan can be found in Ha Long Bay in Vietnam ad Guilin in China, countries which are part of the Eurasian Plate.  It is believe further, that Palawan was detached from the mainland China some 40 million years ago.  Palawan drifted southward and linked up with the rest of the Philippines around 15 million years ago.

El Nido is composed of 45 islands and islets, each with its own unique features.  Most of the islands have pockets and coves of fine white beaches, perfect for sunbathing and picnic lunches.  Within some of the islands are ancient caves with fascinating dripstones formations.  In other islands, lime stone walls open up tp lagoons.  Weathering and erosion created and continue to shape these interesting  geological formations.  

Wow!  Travel to El Nido Palawan can be very interesting and memory filled.
