A Journey to Shangri-La Boracay

4 Sept

Imagine escaping to a tropical haven where the clear azure waters meet pristine white sands, where luxury blends seamlessly with nature, and where every detail of your stay is designed to immerse you in tranquillity. Welcome to Shangri-La Boracay, a true paradise tucked away on one of the Philippines' most beautiful islands.

After a short 45-minute flight from Manila, you'll land at the small yet charming airport of Caticlan, where the warm hospitality of Shangri-La begins. As you step off the plane, you'll be greeted by a friendly Shangri-La representative who whisks you away in comfort, ensuring your journey to the resort is effortless. A quick bus ride takes you to the marina terminal, where a private 30-foot boat awaits to ferry you across the crystal-clear waters to the resort. As you glide over the water, the breathtaking scenery of Boracay unfolds before your eyes—endless blue skies, emerald waters, and the soft, powdery sand that Boracay is famous for.

Upon arriving at the resort, you'll immediately feel the embrace of luxury and serenity. The resort’s design, inspired by local Filipino architecture, harmonises beautifully with the surrounding natural beauty. Lush tropical gardens, private beaches, and stunning ocean views greet you at every turn, setting the stage for an unforgettable stay.

For those seeking the pinnacle of indulgence, the 2-bedroom ocean view villa offers an extraordinary experience. Perfect for couples travelling together or families desiring extra space, this villa provides a private retreat with your very own infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Imagine lounging by the pool as the sun sets, painting the sky with shades of pink and gold, while the sound of the waves provides the perfect soundtrack to your evening.

But what truly elevates the experience at Shangri-La Boracay is the impeccable service. Every guest is assigned a personal butler, available at your beck and call with just a touch of a button on a private phone. Whether you need assistance with dinner reservations, want to arrange a private beach picnic, or simply desire a fresh towel by the pool, your butler ensures that every wish is met with a smile.

Dining at Shangri-La Boracay is an experience in itself. The resort offers a variety of culinary delights, from fresh seafood at the beachfront restaurant to exquisite international cuisine at the cliff-top dining venue — each meal is a celebration of flavours. And for those moments when you prefer the privacy of your villa, in-room dining is just a call away, with a menu that caters to every taste.

Don’t forget to visit the spa—one of the best massages I have ever had was here. The hot stone massage was nothing short of magical, leaving you in a state of blissful relaxation.

Beyond the comfort of your villa, the resort offers a myriad of activities to explore. Take a leisurely stroll along the private beaches, indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment inspired by local traditions, or embark on an adventurous island-hopping tour. Whether you seek relaxation or excitement, Shangri-La Boracay caters to every whim.

As you prepare to leave this idyllic sanctuary, you'll find that Shangri-La Boracay is not just a place to stay—it’s a place that stays with you. The memories of sun-kissed days, luxurious comfort, and warm Filipino hospitality will linger long after you've returned home, calling you back to this slice of paradise.
