Best for

Travelers seeking a calmer Boracay base will appreciate this northwestern-tip resort, where a hillside setting keeps the stay centered on its own grounds.

What makes it special

Arrival by private speedboat from the Caticlan lounge makes the crossing part of the resort experience, with Boracay's shoreline in view.

Room to consider

For a small family, the One-Bedroom Pool Villa pairs a private garden and infinity pool with a separate living area for shared downtime.

Insider tip

For a quieter afternoon, try the Signature Philippine Hilot Massage in Shangri-La Boracay's spa village on a rocky peninsula overlooking a private bay.

Shangri La Boracay

Shangri La Boracay sits on the quiet northern edge of Boracay Island, away from the busiest stretch of White Beach. The resort is set between two secluded beaches and a green hillside, with clear water, palms, gardens, and wide views across the Sibuyan Sea. This part of Boracay feels more private than the island's central stations. Guests still have access to the famous island atmosphere, but the resort itself is shaped around space, calm, and a strong sense of tropical retreat.

The arrival already sets a different tone. Shangri La Boracay is reached through the island and resort transfer flow, then opens into a broad coastal estate with pools, gardens, villas, restaurants, and pathways that follow the slopes and shoreline. It is one of the island's most complete resorts, with 219 rooms, suites, and villas. The scale gives guests choice, while the setting keeps the mood sheltered and relaxed.

The accommodation combines resort rooms, larger suites, and private villas. Rooms are designed with Filipino accents, natural materials, and spacious balconies with daybeds. Many look toward gardens, water, or the sea. The interiors feel warm and easy, with enough polish for a luxury beach stay and enough simplicity to keep the view in focus.

Suites add more space and a more residential rhythm. Some include larger terraces or outdoor features that make the most of the coastal setting. The villas are the most private way to stay at Shangri La Boracay. They sit in different parts of the resort, with layouts suited to couples, families, and groups. Many villas include private pools or outdoor hot tubs, along with space for slow mornings and quiet evenings above the water or gardens.

The resort works well because it gives guests several versions of Boracay. A room can feel close to the main resort rhythm. A suite adds more space for a longer stay. A villa can feel like a private island home. All categories share the same larger setting: a green hillside, two beaches, blue water, and a resort built for days that move between swimming, dining, spa time, and sunset views.

The two beaches are central to the resort's character. Boracay is famous for powdery sand and lively beach life, but Shangri La Boracay has a quieter coastal mood. The beaches feel more protected than the island's busiest areas. Guests can swim, read under shade, walk along the sand, or watch boats move across the water without feeling crowded by the main Boracay scene.

This privacy is one of the strongest reasons the resort feels distinct. It lets guests enjoy Boracay's natural beauty while staying in a calmer setting. The water is clear, the sand is soft, and the views are wide. The beaches also connect naturally with the pools, restaurants, and villas, so the day can move from sea to pool to lunch without effort.

Shangri La Boracay has large outdoor pools and several places to spend the day near water. The main pool areas bring a more social resort mood, while the beach coves feel quieter. Families, couples, and groups can each find a space that fits the pace they want. The resort also supports classic island activities, from kayaking and snorkeling to boat trips and sunset moments on the water.

The property is large enough that guests can shape very different days. One day can be built around breakfast, beach time, and a long swim. Another can include a villa morning, lunch by the pool, a spa treatment, and dinner above the sea. The best stays here often keep the rhythm simple. The resort already has the water, views, gardens, food, and space needed for a full island break.

CHI, The Spa is set on a rocky peninsula overlooking a private bay. The location gives the spa a strong sense of retreat within the larger resort. Treatment villas and calm pathways create a slower atmosphere, with the sea close by and the hillside around it. The spa draws on Asian and Filipino wellness traditions, with treatments designed for rest, recovery, and deep relaxation after time in the sun.

Wellness at Shangri La Boracay is not limited to the spa. The resort has pools, beach walks, fitness spaces, tennis, water activities, and gardens that encourage movement throughout the day. Guests can be active or quiet, depending on the weather and mood. The hillside setting also adds a light sense of exploration, with paths and viewpoints that reveal different angles of the bay.

The resort has several dining venues, each with a clear role. Vintana Asian Cafe is the all-day dining restaurant, with international and Asian dishes in a bright setting. Cielo sits near the pool and works well for casual lunches, pizza, drinks, and relaxed afternoons. Sirena is the seafood restaurant, with a cliffside position and a strong link to the sea.

Rima brings a more intimate treetop dining mood, with Italian cooking and a setting that feels tucked into the hillside. Solana is known for sunset drinks and views, while the Lobby Lounge gives guests an easy place for coffee, cocktails, and quiet pauses. The mix gives the resort enough variety for longer stays without sending guests off property every night.

Shangri La Boracay is family-friendly, but it also works for couples who want privacy. The size of the estate makes that possible. Families have pools, beach space, activities, and the Adventure Zone for younger guests. Couples can choose quieter beach corners, villas, spa time, and cliffside dining. The resort feels lively in places, but it also has enough hidden pockets to stay calm.

The villa categories help with that sense of privacy. So do the two beaches and the hillside layout. Guests who want the social side of Boracay can leave the resort and explore the island. Guests who want to stay within a quieter coastal world can spend most of the trip inside the estate. Both styles fit the property.

Boracay is one of the Philippines' best-known beach destinations, famous for white sand, clear water, sunsets, and a lively island culture. Shangri La Boracay shows a different side of the island. It is more secluded, more spacious, and more resort-led than the central beach areas. The location on the northern coast gives guests the island's beauty with a stronger sense of shelter.

The resort is best for travelers who want Boracay without giving up privacy, service, dining choice, and space. It suits families, couples, villa stays, beach holidays, and spa-led escapes. With 219 rooms, suites, and villas, two secluded beaches, CHI Spa, varied dining, pools, gardens, and sea views, Shangri La Boracay remains one of the island's most complete luxury resorts.

Why we love this hotel

Why we love this hotel

We value the choice between Punta Bunga and Banyugan, two secluded beaches that let guests change their setting without leaving the resort.

Rima's treetop dining and Sirena's clifftop setting give evenings a sense of place beyond the beach, with distinct views across the resort.

The Adventure Zone and Eco Centre give children indoor play and nature activities, broadening the resort's appeal beyond beach time.
