Boracay

Boracay is a tropical island surrounded by beautiful white sand beaches about an hour's flight from Cebu to Manila or just off the largest island in the Philippines, Panay. It is well known for being one of the most beautiful beaches in Asia.

The beaches can compete with those of the most popular destinations. The most active will appreciate water sports and activities such as sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, diving, and water skiing.

White Beach - This is what most people are here for. Not only is it a beautiful stretch of white sand against the blue water, it is also the commercial center of the island. The long beach is divided into three sections, Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3. The first is the northernmost and has the widest beach, where the main hotels and resorts are located. The accommodations are more expensive, but the quality is generally the best. Station 2 is the commercial and geographic center of White Beach. This is the center of everything for shopping, eating, and partying. The beach here is also the busiest, and the noisiest area. Station 3 is the southernmost section, so you can relax or swim quietly. Puka Beach is the image of what most people expect on a tropical island. A quiet stretch of white sand along the northern tip of the island. The water tends to be a little rougher on this side of the island but is much quieter than the others. Baling Hai Beach - This is a small and quiet cove north of Diniwid Beach, where you can enjoy some breathtaking views on top of the cliff. The fun in Boracay doesn't end when the sun goes down because here the nightlife pulsates with many bars and restaurants that serve food, drinks, and entertainment until dawn.

Manila

Located in Manila Bay, at the mouth of the Pasig River, which divides the city in two, it is one of the most populous nations in the world. Its colonial history has left deep marks that are still visible today in the splendid 17th-century architecture.

The capital of the Philippines, Manila is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with 43,079 inhabitants per km². Located on the west coast of Luzon Island, the country was colonized by the Spanish, also represented by the monumental remains of colonial architecture. The name Manila, of Spanish origin, derives from the mangrove plant called Nilad.

Some famous sites are also located in the historic center. Stroll through the famous Rizal Park, damaged during the fighting in the Second World War. This agglomeration, inhabited by about ten million people, now seems to have redeemed itself from the turbulent past.
The climate is idyllic, with an average temperature of 30° C, and you can relax near the sea throughout the year. Heavy rains occur between July and November. The best time for a trip to Manila is between the end of December and the end of March.
Colonial houses and architectural beauties of the seventeenth century await you in the center of Manila. Take a walk along the coast and visit its port. Visit the Binondo area, or if you prefer Chinatown, get to know its particular cemetery, the Catholic Church, the beaches, and the market. The country is also rich in bridges that cross the river. Numerous clubs are available in the old city. Manila offers the greatest cultural and festive life in the region. For a fun day, you can visit Cowboy grill in Edsa or even the pleasant Stardust showbar. Here gourmets can go in search of the best restaurants and traditional foods offered by the city.

The Intramuros district offers a much more western luxury. Populated by a variety of bars, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife.
Tourists appreciate the endless sandy beaches. Surfers love the coast more than the city thanks to its beaches that give sensational waves.
The local currency is the Philippine Peso. For €1 you will have about 60 pesos. No visa is required if your trip to Manila does not exceed 21 days.
