7 stones boracay best price image 5 Reasons Why You Should Go to Boracay

Boracay has always been known as this magnificent, white-sand beach in the Philippines. Over the years, it has changed and improved a lot, and even if you’ve been there before, you can be sure that there’s still something fresh waiting for you.

Interested to know what’s new in Boracay? Read on and find out!

Have fun with the butterflies at Boracay Butterfly Gardens

Yes, Boracay is not solely about the beach and that famous white sand. Down in Bulabog Beach is the island’s own butterfly sanctuary named Boracay Butterfly Gardens and Butterfly Farm. There are about 300 species of butterflies and 100 to 150 species of plants that you’ll see in the area, and you can also take a learning tour that will help you understand the life cycle of Boracay’s butterflies!

A crazy good experience at Spider House

These days, White Beach can get too crowded and if you want to have some peace and quiet moment while in Boracay, just go to the other side of the island where you will find Diniwid Beach.

In Diniwid Beach, you can check in at Spider House. The new attraction was originally just a hotel, but now, curious tourists visit it because it has metamorphosed into something a lot more exciting. You see, to go to the hotel, you’ll have to enter a cave and move up ladders before finally reaching Spider House, a cliffside hotel with the most astounding views of the island! Oh, and don’t forget to try the bamboo elevator, too!

An enchanting time at Dead Forest

The name sounds macabre, sure, but Dead Forest is one of Boracay’s most noteworthy attractions. Located near Bulabog Beach, specifically at the tip of Barangay Balabag, Dead Forest is reminiscent of Florida’s Everglades, except for the fact that it is surrounded by mangroves—thriving in what’s said to be dead water!

Here’s something interesting about the place. Locals actually believe that the place is supernatural where unusual and special things happen during a full moon. Might as well check it out and see for yourself, huh?

Tour around Crystal Cove

Now popular as a snorkeling paradise, Crystal Cove is a privately developed island that will give you a lot of chances to trek both the caves, and the cove, and of course, be with amazing sea creatures while snorkeling!

The best way to get there is by taking a boat from Cagban or Tambisaan Port all the way to Crystal Cove. Before going on a trek, however, feast on their famous chicken and prawn dish first. A tour guide will be there to help you understand the island more, too.

And, feel like royalty at Boracay Horse Riding Stables

You know how Queen Elizabeth loves riding horses, right?

Well, you can feel like Her Majesty yourself by checking out Boracay Horse Riding Stables, the island’s very own ranch that is guaranteed to give you an epic horse-back riding experience. You’ll find the stables just north of the post office, near the main road.

So much to do, so little time

Truth be told, there is just a lot to see in Boracay—you’ll surely be coming back for more! Start with these spots and discover what else you can do. Have fun!

International DJs that have Already Played in Boracay

The island of Boracay may appear quiet and serene during the day, but when the sun sets, the atmosphere becomes electric as the island comes alive with parties left and right. DJs from all around the Philippines play gigs regularly at some of the bars and resorts, but sometimes, special events happen and they get to share the stage with some of the world’s best DJs.

Here are just some of the internationally known DJs that have already played in Boracay.

Steve Aoki – 2014’s LaBoracay (Labor Day) weekend brought in international powerhouse Steve Aoki to the shores of Boracay. The superstar DJ, known for mixing the unlikely pair of punk and dance music, electrified the party crowd at the Epic Beach Front on the first day of a two-day party series.

2. Cedric Gervais – The Grammy Award-winning French DJ Cedric Gervais made his presence felt at the 2014 LaBoracay weekend along with Steve Aoki. With his distinct brand of house music, he definitely closed the two-day party series with a bang!

3. Jon O’Bir – Before British DJ Jon O’Bir played his final gig in Nottingham, he top-billed the 2013 Summer Energy music festival produced by Bigfish Productions. The two-day event, held at the Station 2 Beachfront, lasted from sunset to sunrise, and will remembered as one of the last few appearances of one of the greatest Trance music producers of this generation.

4. Sied van Riel – Another big international name that headlined the 2013 Summer Energy music festival was Sied van Riel. The Dutch DJ was named “Best New Face” at the 2008 Trance Awards – and he showed the Boracay audience exactly why.

Chris Raeuber – No Bigfish event would be complete without one of its resident DJs. The party production house tapped DJ Chris Raeuber to pump up the beach-loving Boracay crowd for the 2013 Summer Energy music festival.

6. Sander van Doorn – Dutch DJ and record producer Sander van Doorn headlined LaBoracay 2015’s party series when he played on the 4^th day of the 4-day weekend party series held at the Epic Beach Front. Van Doorn is best known for his own progressive and innovative brand of music that is virtually impossible to categorize under one genre alone.

7. Rebecca and Fiona – Not all of the international DJs that played on the shores of Boracay were solo acts. The Swedish DJ duo Rebecca and Fiona also made an appearance on the 2^nd day of the 2015 LaBoracay weekend party series, along with several of the Philippines’ best DJs. The duo play great music together not only because of their love for progressive house music, but because of the deep friendship they share.

8. Blake Jarrell – 2009’s Easter Weekender party series was another event produced by Bigfish. American DJ, record producer, and Trance and progressive house music great Blake Jarrell made his Philippine debut at the Slinky Forever World Tour 2009 on the 2^nd day of the two-day event held at the Hey Jude! Resort Hotel in Boracay.

9. Andy Norman – Hed Kandi’s resident DJ and elder statesman Andy Norman headlined 2009’s Easter Weekender party series, playing at the Hed Kandi Beach House event which happened on the first day of festivities. Norman is a composer of vocal, orchestral, and chamber music inspired by his fascination with everything architectural.

Jamie Richards – Another Hed Kandi regular, DJ Jamie Richards shared the spotlight with Andi Norman at the 2009 Hed Kandi Beach event. His immense popularity can be attributed to his versatile style. Richards can play anywhere from soulful disco house music to more upbeat electronic sounds, depending on the dance crowd he is playing to.
