Boracay, Part 3: Accommodation - Best Honeymoon/Romantic Resort, The Shangri-La's Boracay Resort and Spa


Boracay is what nature built for a romantic getaway. While it can be great for families and groups of friends, the greatest appeal is probably for honeymooners and romance-seekers.

The Shangri-La's Boracay Resort and Spa is easily the island's most luxurious destination. It's set far away from the touristy beach crowd, so it's nestled in seclusion and peaceful tranquility. The 219-room resort has its own private beach, and is set on a hillside amidst a lush eco-reserve. Puka Shell Beach is also nearby.

The villas are phenomenal. Take a look.

But step outside and be prepared to have your breath taken away.

Looks like we managed to mess up the bathroom.

Oh the view of the sea and pool from upstairs is just breathtaking...

You can see the sea for miles and miles.

Downstairs you'll find the living area and a fully equipped kitchen. The living room opens out to a stone patio with the pool. There is a pergola for outdoor dining too.

I can just laze in this pool forever...






The rest of the resort is also quite pretty.

The whole resort is extremely green and lush. And huge - buggies will take you everywhere.

There are water features everywhere.

The very best thing? You get to the resort via a private speedboat from Shangri-La's very own jetty at Caticlan itself. No need to jostle with the rest of the crowd.

For such exquisite luxury, room rates can be a bit steep but check out their offers online or a travel agent for deals. Romantic getaways from PHP 22,500.

  5. The luxury and comfort is the main concern for getting any location as such things are important while getting to new location like jaipur guesthouses
    our main aim is to enjoy at cheapest with getting some new places.
