Early Holidays in Boracay Island
“Ber Months” usher in a serene vibe in Boracay island. As September turns the corner, the air is enveloped in a crisp cool breeze and the smell of festivities around. Safe from the blazing summer sun, the -ber months are the perfect time for a chill escape in Boracay.
Take a stroll along the white beach
Boracay’s famous white beach is stunning throughout the seasons. Its powdery white sand and turquoise waters are still simply unmatched. The crowds thin out during this season so it’s the perfect time to enjoy a quiet stroll along the beach or even lay out a towel to read a book. Plus, you can get a better view of the famous Boracay sunset.
Pro tip: Stay at a hotel near the white beach, like Serene La Playa in Station 1. You’ll just be a minute away from the sand but also away enough to have a quiet escape in your room.
Watch the best fire dance show in Boracay island
Welcome the holidays warmly – literally. Take a short walk and head on to Red Coconut Beach Hotel or Red Coconut Restaurant where you can watch the best fire dance show in the island. They hold performances every evening so make sure to drop by. Order their famous boodle fight or have drinks by the bar as you enjoy the fiery festivities. They also have live bands performing so you can sing and dance along too!
Check out spots along the main road
Go to the path less taken and explore the spots along the main road of Boracay. You can have coffee by Silong Cafe, which is near Serene La Playa or go souvenir shopping in the different side-street boutiques if you want to steer clear from the crowd in D’Mall. Even ask the locals their favorite spots and try them out for a more local experience.
Explore the other islands of Boracay
Island hopping in Boracay during this season is a must! With calmer seas, you can visit nearby spots like Crystal Cove, Magic Island, or Crocodile Island, where snorkeling reveals thriving coral gardens and colorful fish. It’s definitely an activity you’ll enjoy as you appreciate the other wonders.
Eat your heart out in Boracay’s must-try food spots
Festive season means new menu specials and flavors. Whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there’s always something to savor on the island. If you’re traveling with friends or family, share a boodle fight in Red Coconut Restaurant and maybe even explore hidden gems like Salsa Fusion Restaurant which is located on top of Serene La Playa.
Relax with a massage or spa treatment
Holidays are synonymous to relaxation and getting a massage or spa treatment is the perfect way to celebrate it. Many Boracay resorts offer traditional hilot and spa services. You can check out services in your hotel or maybe they can even point you to where the best masseuse is!
These -ber months are your call to celebrate the holiday season for three months. That’s really how you do it here in the Philippines and Boracay is no exception.
