belongs to the Visayas in the heart of the Philippine archipelago. Boracay lies before the north point of Panay. She has become nicest under 7107 islands and by her position and good infrastructure a popular destination.
Boracay offers a huge number of activities which themselves allow to arise in a vacation of only 3 weeks no boredom. They will see that the small jewel (7 kms long and at the narrowest place will persuade you only approx. 500 ms wide) also.

. always Boracay. Boracay is for romantics and rest-searching as well as also for revelers the perfect destination.
The Paradise Bay Beach and Watersport Resort lies quietly and romantically, at the narrowest place of the island, on the other side from noise, dust and waste gases, in a dreamy bay, directly on the beach. To animated and world-famous 3.5 kms long White Beach with his a lot of small bars and restaurants these are only few walking minutes. Genius sen you your most precious days in the year in private atmosphere.

Observe to the annual " international Funboard Racing cup " directly from the Resort or you become active. Also the KITE surfing becomes more and more popular on Boracay. Here you find from November to March optimum conditions on your hobby.

Boracay is a small, approx. 6.5 km long island, at the narrowest place approx. 1 km wide and lies near by the South-Chinese sea, between the Sibuyan Sea and Sulu Sea, in the island group Visayas. She exists of three local municipalities, Balabag, Manoc Manoc and Yapak. If one sets off sometimes on foot or with the mountain bike, it is astounding, how many small settlements are hidden in the thicket, only one unobtrusive beaten path often goes there and one goes on a step, one stands all at once again in the tumult of nearly 8,000 inhabitants meanwhile. The neighboring island Panay, 2-3 kms away, offers the afterwards situated infrastructure with a small airport as well as hospitals and of course a traffic binding to Kalibo, the next approx. 2 hours of distant, bigger town, with airport, shopping center etc, should pack you sometimes the island rage. The second, nearest island is Carabao Iceland (cow's island). We were not personal there yet, because she is away about 8 kms and there the sea is to be crossed on the basis of wind and current very often not safely. However, it should be a very nice destination of the excursion on which the tourism has still received no move. Center of Boracay is of course the White-Beach, approx. 3.5 kms long, white sand beach. There are some quieter bays likewise, bekanntesten the Dinivid-Beach and the Puka Beach would be there in the island part Yapak.

If one counts locals and emigrants together one comes well and gladly on approx. 30,000 inhabitants, in addition, of course still a lot of tourists. While concentrate one fully and completely upon the tourism, thus for hotels, restaurants etc. work, have also built up many a small business, this is enough from the Imbisstand about flying traders up to the storekeeper. The job market is partially so good that some even from the neighboring islands come to work. Nevertheless, some families also devote themselves quite traditionally to the fishing and supply the hotels and restaurants, as well as the market with always catch-fresh lusciousness.

The people are very nice like everywhere on the Philippines and helpful, the one or other "slit ear" of course not with counted. The women and girls are very timid, on the one hand and shy, just what concerns contact with tourist, to other incredibly politely and do almost a distinguished impression. Clearly, the Kids are turned up the whole bank by always and as soon as you the shy lose snotty and playful, however, is also no miracle, some must already work with young years to late at night, there one takes every opportunity was to be raved around a little bit. The men are unbelievable working bulls, for hours you can move heavy loads in the midday heat, untiringly you are occupied to distribute required goods, to build streets and houses and, nevertheless, always a friendly smile on the lips.

After the school or after the work, for Philippinos it is already almost a tradition, anyway, however, a ritual: Karaoke. On account of early in the mornings or late at night, in the bar or in a hut in the outskirts, it will bend warbled to himself the beams . and this can take you literally. Lacking talent is compensated by fervour and volume to see with a devotion that it is a true joy, to... Nevertheless, one talks, Frank Sinatra should have turned round now and again already in the grave:-)

However, there are also some in Boracay which have not met it so well, poorer families which survive daily in all luxury around this must fight which have sometimes gone to ruin to the alcohol and must finance this by theft people with those nobody might exchange of us. Here it lies with you to decide, to what extent you can help or might. Nevertheless, one is sure: " You will get back the respect and the friendliness which they bring against the person 100 times "

The infrastructure of Boracay is astoundingly good on the whole. Streets were just lately anew built, a new police station were built and the stream failures (BrownOuts) keep more and more in borders.
There are doctors who come home, a Medical Center and also a hospital which has one, for the Philippines high standard and can treat from smaller little complaints up to the broken arm reliably and immediately. The costs for this are more than slightly, I myself lay sometimes 3 weeks levelly, the doctor's fees lay approx. 10, if necessary I would have been the medicines with approx. 30 to in 2-3 hours in Manila in the hospital.

Shopping possibilities enough exist.
A small romantic market, the Talipapa, as well as a new, more modern market, the De Mall. Everywhere in the Touristcenter a shopping possibility and on Boracay is likewise distribute, countless states with the most different offer. Should you need not exactly a spare part for a hearing device or a laptop, here you will be able to get more or less everything.
IMPORTANTLY!!! Should you be instructed on medicines or medical devices, take this at all costs yourselves, because thus sometimes just, e.g., insulin shop is not possible under circumstances.

On Boracay there are not thank God many cars, at least not for normal citizens. The locomotion occurs either on the motorcycle / scooter, the bicycle, on boats, the Tricycles usual on the Philippines and of course on foot. Nevertheless, back to laying ways are mostly a thing of few minutes, Boracay is not so big.
