Little Boracay is a private island resort located in Calatagan, Batangas. The resort was the brainchild of former Philippine Foreign Secretary Blas Ople and American businessman James R. Jones Jr. It has been described as a slice of paradise by celebrity guests such as Robert De Niro and George Hamilton. It is named after Boracay Island in Aklan Province, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Little Boracay features all modern amenities that would allow any traveller to feel right at home while they enjoy their stay. From large bedroom suites to personal cabanas with jacuzzis to restaurant catering for gourmet food enthusiasts to a bar built on stilts overlooking powdery white sand, this destination really has it all!
Little Boracay is located in baranggay (village) Kalawaan, Calatagan, Batangas. The easiest way to get there is to take a jeepney that will cost ₱12 from the bus station, or you can take a tricycle for about ₱50. If you’re coming from Manila, it would be best to catch a flight and then hire a taxi at the airport with your hotel’s name written on it. If not, get off at LRT 2 Calamba Station and ride a jeepney going to Kalawaan. You'll know when you're getting close when you see NAMOBIG grocery store on your left. From there, turn right onto Rizal Street and go straight until you see a large gate of stones. That's where the little beach is. Don't forget to visit their restaurant which serves amazing food!
Getting to the island is a bit tricky, but locals know exactly where to go. If you're coming from Manila, take a bus or jeepney going south. At the town of Nasugbu, you can either take a jeepney or tricycle to the ferry terminal. Once at the terminal, ask for Calatagan and you'll be pointed in the right direction. Be prepared for a bumpy ride on board, as well as an extended wait time for departure.
Located only a few kilometers from Manila, this secluded beach is an oasis. With its white sand and tranquil waves, it's easy to see why many people flock to this destination for relaxation and solitude. But what makes this beach truly special is its pristine water that's perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The waters are so clear you can see the fish swimming under your feet, coral reefs off the coast, and even a sunken shipwreck just meters below the surface! It's no wonder they call it 'Little Boracay'. If you're looking for things to do while visiting, there are plenty of activities available - rent out kayaks or fishing gear, hire a masseuse or enjoy nature with a scenic walk along the shore. You can also explore through mangrove forests that act as natural buffers between Calatagan and Batangas City.
The best place to eat is at the aptly named restaurant row. There are so many that the locals will tell you it's hard to choose which one is best, but they all have their own specialties. One of my favorites is Jollibee, where they serve up a delicious chicken joy burger that will remind you of childhood summers. While there are plenty of restaurants and cafes on the island, one mustn't forget about the Filipino food! Try some authentic lumpia or pancit while you're visiting this tropical paradise. Don't be fooled by its size; Little Boracay is home to tons of beachfront bungalows for travelers looking for cheap lodging. 4. If you want to escape the crowds, head to White Beach - and make sure not to wear any white when going out onto the sand!
Little Boracay is located just off the coast of Calatagan, Batangas. The beach is a perfect spot for kids and grownups who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. There are plenty of activities to do while you're here including scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing and many more. Visitors can also enjoy dining on fresh seafood at one of the many restaurants along the shore or take a walk through one of the many scenic trails. The entire area has been declared as a marine sanctuary which means that no development will be allowed. So come on over to this beautiful and undeveloped paradise now before it's too late!
If you're looking for an awesome getaway this summer, or any time of the year, you should totally check out Little Boracay. It's a small beach town situated close to Manila and some of its most famous attractions. You can spend up to three hours exploring the area on foot before you need to head back home or move on to another destination. We recommend taking a leisurely stroll down East Coast Road where you'll find restaurants, bars and shops galore. Bring cash with you because many establishments don't accept cards, but they do take care of your parking meters!
