Beyond White Beach: The other face of Boracay

CEBU, Philippines – There’s more to Boracay than the irresistible allure of its white sands and blue waters, not to mention chilling out in the rows of restos along the beach, paraw sailing, watching sand castles or combing the multitude of shops for souvenir items or other stuff.

Far from the usual crowded beachfront bars and restos, there’s a new property, nestled atop the hills of Boracay, that provide guests the chance to discover a lot more than the island offers, perhaps unknown to many.

Located on a prime four-hectare property on the north side of the island, Alta Vista de Boracay’s elevation presents a breathtaking serene view of the surrounding sea and mountains, whether one is inside any of its rooms with an old elegance or even outdoors.

If what’s on your mind is to commune with nature – indeed a luxury denied in other properties on the island – the best spot is a comfortable chaise at the infinity pool. On a clear day, while lounging to your heart’s delight away from urban living and work pressures, the panorama of blue skies above you, deep blue waters of the sea and the verdant hills will definitely calm you.

Or better yet, get the rare chance to see the spectacular full view of the sunset at the day’s end as you finally realize that you have indeed freed yourself from your usual daily grind from the rat race in the big city.

Communing with nature is just one of the experiences like no other awaiting guests at Alta Vista de Boracay. A private affair with the beach is another extraordinary experience offered by this new Boracay resort. Its warm and friendly staff can bring guests to the nearby Puka Beach. Being a private beach, it’s an ideal for picnic lunch-cum-bonding among family members.

After a picnic at the private Puka Beach, you can ride the buggy car or all-terrain vehicle and navigate along the winding roads near Alta Vista. Or for more nature tripping, check out the Butterfly Farm at the nearby golf course.

Alta Vista de Boracay has discovered and wishes to share with its guests who may be looking for things to do other than the usual ones offered by Boracay.

Beyond the white beach, Boracay has more to offer at Alta Vista de Boracay. Guests have a choice of a deluxe room or loft, both exuding old world elegance and fully furnished. Rooms have a balcony where you can relax even more after a day out.

Apart from the usual airport transfers, shuttle service, room service, laundry and pressings, etc. Alta Vista de Boracay also offers turndown, 24-hour concierge and baby-sitting services.
