Perhaps it's the combination of natural beauty and quality Boracay accommodations that the Philippines' premier holiday destination once again cracked TripAdvisor's list of the best islands in Asia. Boracay Island placed 7th behind other popular islands like Bali (1st), Phuket (2nd), Ko Samui (3rd), Koh Tao (4th), and Lombok (5th).
Many describe Boracay as an “itty-bitty island (just under 4 square miles) in the Western Philippines” that is as close to a tropical idyll as one will find in Southeast Asia. The island’s gentle coastlines, transporting sunsets, and thriving nightlife scene make Boracay, as they say, “one of the top tourist spots in the region”.
The aptly named White Beach is Boracay’s main draw, with powdery white sand and shallow azure water ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Writer's tip: Fall in love with Boracay Island like its the first time when you stay at the Willy’s Beach Hotel. This 3-star property guarantees safety, convenience, and luxury as well as all the natural beauty found in the Philippines’ most famous island at very reasonable rates.

5 Makati City Festivals You Won't Want To Miss
Just like any Filipino community, Makati City is home to various annual festivities that depict the its colorful culture and tradition. Read on to know 5 of these exciting celebrations.
More often than not, travelers book a hotel accommodation in Makati only when they need to attend a corporate event. For most of us, the city is just a place of towering skyscrapers. But what we don't know is that Makati has a lot more to offer. Just like any Filipino community, Makati is home to various annual festivities that depict the city's colorful culture and tradition. Among these festivals are:
1. Caracol Festival
Through the passage of Resolution 351, this has been an official festival in Makati that pays tribute to Filipino resilience. The name of the festival was derived from the Spanish word for “snail”, a shelled creature that symbolizes the people’s efforts to combat difficulties. Caracol Festival invites the spectators in merrymaking as the participants parade with their masks and nature-inspired costumes. This takes place during the last Sunday of January and is considered as Makati City’s version of Rio de Janeiro’s Mardi Gras.
2. Xong Di Festival
The city Makati holds the Xong Di Festival to celebrate the brotherhood between the Chinese and Filipino communities. It aims to strengthen the bond of the two Asian countries by highlighting their cultural similarities. The main attraction of this event is the parade of ethnic costumes and accessories, showcasing an impressive blend of Philippine and Chinese designs. Watch out for this spectacular festival a few days after the Chinese New Year.
3. Bailes delos Arcos
Bailes Delos Arcos is one of the most exciting festivals that entices many tourists who book for Makati hotels. Barangay Poblacion holds this annual feast every 29th of June in honor of Virgen Dela Rosa, St. Peter, and St. Paul. This is a much-awaited event because the festival involves the participation of young ladies who train for a year for the so called “Dance of Virgins”. They offer this amazing performance in a kind of pledged devotion to the patron saints.
4. Likhang Kamay Festival
If you love buying Filipino products, you should visit the exhibits of Likhang Kamay in Makati City. This is a yearly trade show that has been instrumental in the discovery and development of various native handicrafts producers. It usually features regional goods that champion local culture, which include pottery, woven materials, and wood carvings. Every year, the organizers and tourism department promote this event for broader participation and exposure.
5. Belen sa Makati
As early as November, Makati radiates the vibrant Yuletide season as it commences the Belen sa Makati Festival. During this time, the city's business district is adorned with giant creches and colorful lanterns. The entire stretch of Ayala Avenue that comes very festive with effervescent Christmas lights is a sure delight to everyone. With the unparalleled grandeur of the event, these wonderful spectacles will never fail to get visitors in the holiday spirit.
Undeniably, Makati is more than just the business capital of this country. With a number of feasts that it celebrates, the city has its fair share to the Philippine customs and traditions. So the next time you reserve an accommodation in Makati, make sure to witness one these festivities.
