The calm azure seas greetedThe whispering waves rustled and echoed gratitude to the heavens. The celestial dance of stars and sky perfectly aligned above, casting a magical glow upon our journey. The sun washed the way ahead with brilliance, and an entire spectrum of tropical fish colored our way in shades of blue, yellow, red, orange, gold, and silver, leading us toward the apex of luxury: Shangri-La Boracay, located in one of the most acclaimed corners of Boracay’s island paradise.

From the indulgent comforts of Bulgari to the captivating allure of Verbena-scented amenities, every detail is meticulously curated to ensure a stay of unrivaled opulence. Dinner at the grand Presidential Villa offered dishes like flavorful phad thai, adobo, kalabasa, burger with camembert, chicken curry, and the sweetest mangoes for dessert. Several butlers served us with gracious smiles, and we learned that they travel to Shangri-La hotels around the world. One of the major highlights here is the gargantuan and sumptuous breakfast buffet at Vintana Asian Cafe, offering a wide selection of eggs, fluffy pancakes, and Filipino favorites like tapa, tocino, danggit, arroz caldo, fresh fruits, and salads. 

All day long, in the solace of your villa, you can dine al fresco with barbecue meats and seafood grilled to perfection. We met the new general manager Hans Martin Gfrei, who ensures the hotel’s legacy of welcoming guests and giving them an unforgettable experience in one of the world’s best island resorts. He shared that “the resort has a variety of seasonal offers perfect for each occasion as well as room offers for your next holiday.” Offers to highlight: Book Early, Questers Family Adventure Package in Boracay, Romantic Getaway, and more.
