Boracay Island is located in the north west of Panay Island. Great getaway from Manila to a small island with beach and snorkelling and nightlife on the sand where Western tourists hang out to chill.

It is a like the twin sister of Thailand's Koh Phi Phi except English is spoken instead of Thai.

I spent a week in Boracay nine years ago. Tourism hadn't hit the island yet. Amazing little gem in the sea!
