Why you'll love it
Boracay is a small island in the central Philippines, famous for White Beach, a 4-kilometre stretch of powdery sand and clear water. It gets Triptakeo's top score for beaches and 9 out of 10 for romance, which makes it a natural fit for couples who want sunsets, swimming and lively evenings.
The best time to visit Boracay is November to April, the dry season, with calm water on White Beach and steady breezes for kitesurfing. March and April are among the driest months. June to October brings more rain, quieter beaches and lower prices.
White Beach is divided into three stations, from the more upmarket north to the busier middle and the budget-friendly south. Puka Shell Beach on the northern tip is quieter, and Bulabog Beach on the east coast is the kitesurfing hub. Island-hopping trips stop at Crystal Cove and Crocodile Island for snorkelling.
Boracay suits couples, beach lovers and water-sports fans.
