Ultimate Boracay Travel Guide 2026

Boracay remains one of the Philippines' crown jewels — a tiny island in the Western Visayas region that packs a massive punch. With its powdery white sand, turquoise waters, and vibrant atmosphere, it's easy to see why millions visit every year.

How to Get to Boracay

Most visitors fly into **Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (Caticlan)** or **Kalibo International Airport (KLO)**. Caticlan is closer and preferred — just a 10-minute tricycle ride to the jetty port. From there, it's a 30-minute boat ride to Boracay.

Best Time to Visit

The dry season (November to May) is the best time for sunny beach days. The peak months are December to April, when the weather is at its finest. The wet season (June to October) sees fewer crowds and lower rates — perfect if you don't mind occasional showers.

Getting Around

Tricycles are the main mode of transport. Most rides within the island cost PHP 20–50 per person. Many resorts, including Oceanway Boracay, offer free shuttle services.

Where to Stay

For a quieter, more luxurious experience, choose **Boracay Newcoast** — an exclusive enclave with private beaches, golf courses, and stunning sea views. Our 1-bedroom apartment at Oceanway Residences offers all the comforts of home steps from the beach.
