It is run 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.

Why Boracay?

Boracay’s White Beach is the perfect stage for this aquatic adventure. The sand is so fine it feels like walking on flour, and the water is so clear you can see fish darting around your feet. The beach is lively yet relaxed, with palm trees swaying and beachfront cafes serving fresh coconut water to sip between swims. The gentle gradient of the shore makes it ideal for wading, swimming, or even just floating, letting the sea cradle you as you gaze at the endless blue sky.

Boracay's beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and agencies. In 2012, Boracay was awarded as the best island in the world from the international travel magazine Travel + Leisure.
