Christmas is a pretty big deal in the Philippines. Filipinos are notorious for going overboard with the Christmas festivities as soon as September rolls in: every speaker in the country is blasting loud Christmas hits, every house is awash with bright Christmas lights, and shopping malls are filled to the brim with excited shoppers picking up great deals for their families.

Boracay is no exception to this rule, and Christmas here is just as insane anywhere else in the country – except it’s better.

1. All the halls are decked!

During the season, the whole island is lost in a flurry of bright lights, clumps of tinsel, forests of garlands, and, of course, Christmas songs. You won’t see a single bare establishment that hasn’t tried to one-up the others with their Christmas decorations, all in the spirit of celebrating the world’s most popular holiday. Even the beach takes on a festive feel, as even the palm trees are wrapped with lights to make them shine. It’s truly a feast for your eyes!

2. A Christmas feast for days!

What’s a Christmas celebration without a feast to match it? Every restaurant in Boracay offers travelers good rates on Christmas season, to the point where you can feed a party of 10 for less than $50! And it’s not shoddy quality food either, you’ll be sinking your teeth into the finest creations of the best chefs in the island. 7th Note Café, for example, offers a Christmas buffet for the whole family at a price you wouldn’t believe.

3. Forget reindeers, take to the seas!

Who needs a sleigh ride when you can deliver your gifts by paraw or ATV? The insane amount of water activities in the island would put any red-nosed reindeer to shame with sheer awesomeness. Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean you should leave your love for adrenaline behind! Just ask 7Stones Boracay’ wonderful staff about any of the available water activities in the island, and they’ll be happy to send you off, preferably with a poofy Santa hat to go with it.

Boracay: Still the World’s Best Island

If you’re a hardcore traveler, you probably know about the world’s most premiere luxury travel magazine, Condé Nast Traveler. You’re probably also familiar about how they rank the best islands in the world, and how much weight their words carry.

In a 2016 poll of 300,000 travelers from the world over, Condé Nast Traveler put the wonderful island of Boracay at the top of a list of 20 best beaches in the world, beating places such as Tahiti, Santorini, and Bali for the top spot. Again, Boracay reigns supreme, and it’s not hard to figure out why.

1. Pristine white beaches

One thing clearly sets this beautiful island apart from the others: its powdery white sand. The Boracay sand is unlike those from other beaches in the world. It’s a combined effort of different parts of the ecosystem, from the corals to the humble little parrotfish, that make up the famous sands of Boracay. Some would even go so far as calling it magical – and it probably is.

2. Clear azure waters

You’d expect that a famous beach in one of the Philippines’ hottest tourist destinations would have dirtier waters than more remote shorelines, but you’d be wrong. Through the efforts of locals and the government, Boracay’s water remains crystal clear and clean, showing off its wonderful blue hues to anyone who comes over. Boracay’s waters make it perfect for undersea activities such as diving and snorkeling, affording you beautiful views of life in the depths below.

3. A bustling nightlife

Boracay is an island that never sleeps, and the vibrancy of Boracay nightlife is a testament to that. It’s home to some of the best beach bars and island clubs in the Philippines. On any given night, you can expect a throng of revelers jumping up and down to the beats of Boracay’s best DJs, or perhaps a group of friends enjoying a nice gourmet dinner along with a lot of bottles of the Philippines’ best drinks, at a price you won’t believe. If you’d rather party than sleep, then Boracay is the best bet for you.

4. A wealth of activities

Who needs quiet beaches? Not in Boracay. Non-stop parties, a shore filled with good eats, and tons of activities… a sleepy island you won’t find here. Go on a paraw ride and experience the high seas from a sailboat. Put on your suit and be James Bond on a jetski, if you so wish. There are also ATV tours, for when you need to take a walk on the wild side, and a host of water activities like speedboats, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, and so much more. In Boracay, you’ll never be bored.

5. Luxurious accommodations

Of course, you’d expect that the best island in the world would have accommodations that reflect its stature. There may be hundreds of hotels in Boracay, but none as serene, tranquil, or beautiful as 7Stones Boracay Suites.
