When it comes to the best beaches in the Philippines, Boracay tops the list for the must-visit destinations in the country. If you want to wake up to the view of the breathtaking beach of Boracay, you'll never go wrong with booking Boracay resorts located along the stretch of the island's white sand beaches. Here's a list of the best Boracay beachfront resorts that you should consider for your tropical getaway.

Boracay Island sits in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. It attracts millions of visitors per year and is the most popular resort island in the country. You won't run out of things to do while in Boracay.

The main tourist attraction in Boracay is White Beach. This Boracay beach is an impressive sight because of its powdery white sand that stretches for four kilometers and is complemented with crystal clear water. 

There are three sections on White Beach Boracay and they are called Station 1, 2, and 3. These sections have their own set of restaurants, shops, resorts in Boracay, and other tourist facilities.

White Beach is also the main site for thrilling water activities and Boracay tours like paraw sailing and helmet diving in Boracay. Other notable beaches on the island include Bulabog Beach, Puka Shell Beach, and Diniwid Beach.

You can reach Boracay Island by taking a flight to Caticlan or Kalibo. If you’re coming from Caticlan Airport, you will transfer to the pier and take a 15-minute boat ride to Boracay Island. From Kalibo International Airport, you will need to travel by land for about two hours and then take a boat ride to Boracay.
