Hotels near Godofredo P. Ramos Airport
White Beach, Stations 2 and 3
From the Caticlan pier, a 10-15 minute crossing plus a few minutes by tricycle to Station 2 or 3; in all, 40-50 minutes from the airport door to door.
Best for: Those wanting the liveliest beach, D'Mall and Boracay's evening life a step from the room.
- A one-minute walk from the beach and from D'Mall, the island's commercial heart
- Maximum choice of restaurants, bars and tour operators without needing a tricycle
- The most crowded and noisy areas of the island, especially on weekends and in high season
- Room rates rise more in peak months than in the quieter areas to the north
Recommended hotels
- Boracay Travelodge Beach Resort A one-minute walk from White Beach and two from Station 2, with D'Mall about a kilometre away; a budget option for those who want to be right on the liveliest beach. View availability
- Astoria Current Right on White Beach at Station 3, a one-minute walk from the sea and about a kilometre from D'Mall; among the highest-rated in the area for service and cleanliness. View availability
Diniwid and Station 1
Same route as Stations 2-3 to the pier and the boat crossing (about 40-50 minutes from the airport), then a 5-6 minute walk past Station 1 to Diniwid Beach.
Best for: Those wanting the quieter beach of Diniwid while staying a few minutes' walk from the heart of the island.
- Diniwid Beach is more intimate and quiet, yet a few minutes' walk from Station 1 and White Beach
- Hotel shuttle to the centre of the island, handy in the evening
- Direct access is only on foot or with the hotel shuttle: no road for cars right to the door
- Fewer restaurants in the immediate surroundings compared to Station 2
Punta Bunga and Newcoast, to the north
Shangri-La runs its own private speedboat from Caticlan, under 30 minutes; the Mövenpick, on the island's northern tip, instead quotes up to 90 minutes door to door via the public pier; Belmont, in Newcoast, is about 10 minutes by tricycle from Station 1.
Best for: Those seeking an isolated, quiet resort, far from the life of White Beach, and who accept a longer overall transfer.
- Private, quiet beaches, far from the crowds of White Beach
- Shangri-La and Mövenpick run their own transfer from the airport, avoiding the transfer at the public pier
- The Mövenpick in particular can take up to an hour and a half door to door: not an area for a short layover
- For White Beach's evening life you always need a tricycle or an organised transfer, never on foot
Recommended hotels
- Shangri-La Boracay The island's first luxury resort, on the sheltered bay of Punta Bunga; private speedboat from Caticlan in under 30 minutes, faster than the route via the public pier. View availability
- Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay On the island's northern tip, in the private bay of Punta Bunga Cove; according to the official website the transfer from Caticlan can take up to 90 minutes, the longest among the resorts in this guide. View availability
