Boracay Island, Aklan in the Philippines is a premiere stretch of pristine beaches that has become a favourite spot for both local and international tourists. It is a mere 40-minute airplane ride from Manila with three local airlines providing transport to and from the island.

The island has two main beaches: White beach on the west side and Bulabog beach on the east. White beach is the main beach for tourism. It is here where world class resorts, hotels and restaurants are situated. Bulabog beach is reserved mostly for water sports like kite-surfing and windsurfing.

Peppering the defunct boat stations 1, 2 and 3 along the stretch of White beach are various accommodations with varied services and prices.  Station 2 is at the centre stretch of White beach while 1 and 3 are at the north and south ends respectively. Cheaper accommodations are in station 3 while the more isolated lodgings are in station 1. If you want to experience Boracay night life, station 2 is the place to be.

If you are travelling with a group, it is best to rent a whole bungalow or hut as it is cheaper. An exclusive three bedroom bungalow (Charol Tirol) good for 22 people is priced at US$ 328 per day. Rooms at a lodge near station 1(White House) is US$58 for a twin accommodation to US$133 for the whole ground floor.
