Boracay
TOP SOLO TRAVEL DESTINATION
Boracay, in the Philippines, is an absolute dream come true for any wanderlusting solo traveller looking to nourish their soul and find their truest self.
Boracay is far more than just an island escape. It is a place where you can create the space to truly connect with yourself, the natural beauty that surrounds you, and the stillness that allows you to accept who you are and be in awe of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever witness. From the moment you step foot on those powdery white sands, you'll feel a sense of magic in the air - like the island is welcoming you home.

WHERE TO STAY
The Henann Palm Beach
Shangri-La Boracay
One of the must-do activities during your solo trip to Boracay is to sign up for a crystal kayak photo op. Gliding across the clear, turquoise waters in a transparent kayak provides a truly unique perspective and the opportunity to capture stunning photographs that will forever immortalize your journey of self-discovery.
When it comes to accommodations, the Henann hotels on the island are a wonderful choice. This boutique hotel chain offers contemporary design, great service, and highly recommended buffets that will nourish both your body and your soul. I also recommend arranging for your airport transfer through your hotel, as it will save you a lot of hassle and ensure a seamless start to your Boracay adventure.
No visit to Boracay is complete without exploring D Mall, an outdoor plaza where you can indulge in some much-needed shopping therapy and immerse yourself in the local culture. And when it's time to refuel, be sure to visit CYMA, the Greek restaurant known for its incredible drinks (made by Jed!) and a sense of family in its service that will make you feel right at home.
But the true magic of Boracay happens when the sun dips below the horizon. As day turns to night, you'll witness some of the most breathtaking sunsets you've ever seen. The sky explodes in a fiery display of oranges, pinks, and purples, casting a warm glow over the entire island. It's a sight that will leave you in awe, and a reminder to pause, breathe, and soak in the beauty all around you. Experience this magnificence at Puka Beach or at Station 1.
Finally, a visit to Boracay (and a guide from @theoriginalbathbabe) wouldn't be complete without indulging in the rejuvenating and relaxing massages available right on the beach. As you let the soothing touch of the masseuse melt away your stresses, allow the sound of the waves and the gentle breeze to transport you to a state of pure tranquility.
Boracay is not just an island destination; it is a place where you can find the stillness and nourishment your soul craves. So, pack your bags, embrace the solo journey, and let Boracay work its magic on your mind, body, and spirit.
