Shangri-la Moments in Boracay

30 comments
The view from our Room Balcony.

We just recently returned from a vacation to Boracay Island, Philippines. We stayed at the tres elegant and first class Shangri-la Boracay Beach Resort & Spa located on the tip of the Boracay Island in Southern Philippines. Boracay is known for its white sand beaches, clear and sparkling emerald waters from the Sulu Sea and known for its night life all happening right on the Beach. Then of course, Shangri-la Boracay, is known and as we experienced, for its luxurious pampering of their guests and elegant facilities. Everything in this resort is first class. From the moment we landed in the Caticlan Boracay Airport, we were greeted by their own staff, then driven in an air conditioned van that smelled of lavender towards their Welcome Lounge before boarding their own private jetty boat to reach the Resort. We experienced from Boracay Shangri-la the best of the Philippine Islands, the best in Filipino furniture and interior decorating style and most of all the best of Filipino hospitality to their guests. I was especially touched by the kindness, patience, friendliness and professionalism of their staff. Truly an extraordinary staff and a magical place to spend your time in. A special paradise I wish to return to one day.
Boracay is known for its white sand beaches along the Island.
Shangri-la Hotel and Resort's deluxe sea view rooms and the cottages on top of the hill are known as their Treetop Suites. The Resort also have several Private Villas with their own swimming pools. 
The Main Lobby with their staff always ready to help and always greeting guests cheerfully.
The Lobby Lounge, a place to relax, have some cocktails and listen to live music entertainment.
Everywhere around the Resort was built using Philippine raw materials of native wood and stones and designed in Philippine architectural style. 
Surrounded by water for tranquillity and peace.
These light balls were created to look like they are floating on water.
The Infinity pool overlooking the beach on the other end. The swimming pools use freshwater with chlorinated salt for softer skin and does not hurt the eyes when you swim.
A place to relax and eat.
Guests can enjoy their own Quonset hut to have a meal and relax.

Fresh fruits and vegetables including the Coconut for guests to enjoy a fresh fruit juice.
Who would like to take a nap in these hammocks?

One of their most popular dish is the Seafood Platter at Sirena Restaurant in the resort. We ate these large prawns, grilled squid, grilled fish fillet, two fried soft shell crabs and 3 large lobsters. 
The way to the Beach.

Live music to accompany the famous Boracay sunset.
A finale, the Boracay sunset. Hoping, to return again.


So let the sun shine in 
face it with a grin. 
Smilers never lose 
and frowners never win. 
So let the sun shine in 
face it with a grin 
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.

-Open up your Heart and Let the Sun Shine in Lyrics

  22. Once I reached the end of your post I went right back and took the trip again. Your photographs are sublime, the shot of the view from the boat is sheer perfection. You were certainly staying in the lap of luxury Miss Pamela. Those blue waters and white sand beaches are the stuff of dreams. I hope you saved some grilled squid for me, my favourite:)
