Boracay
Plan Your Dream Boracay Trip: Tips, Insights & Must-Knows
Choosing the right hotel in Boracay can make or break your trip. While most travelers aim for White Beach, I accidentally booked a hotel on the opposite side of the island—and it turned out to be the best thing that could’ve happened. In this post, I share what I learned about Boracay’s different beach areas, how to avoid common booking mistakes, and why sometimes the unexpected can lead to the perfect stay.
If you're dreaming of peaceful moments away from the busy White Beach in Boracay, let me show you two hidden gems that became my favorite discoveries on the island: Diniwid Beach and Ilig Iligan Beach. One is just a short cliffside walk from Station 1, and the other is a tranquil paradise tucked far from the crowds — but both offer that untouched, serene beauty you won’t want to miss.
Getting to Boracay from New York City was a journey in itself—over 30 hours of travel, including 3 flights, 1 boat ride, and a bus transfer. But let me tell you, every leg of that trip was worth it the moment I set foot on that powdery white sand. In this blog post, I’m sharing exactly how I got from NYC all the way to one of the dreamiest islands in the Philippines, plus tips that might save you time, stress, and maybe even a few bucks!
