The famous colorful Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival, located in Aklan or the same province where Boracay Island is, happens in January. It's one of the best festivals in the Philippines and is regarded as its version of Mardi Gras.

During holidays such as Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year, and Lent or Holy Week (from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday), the island is prone to overcrowding, and hotel rates and fares significantly increase.

The low or off-peak season occurs sometime around June to November when the temperature tends to be a bit cooler, and scattered rain showers or tropical storms pass by.

Some people choose to go between these months because this is when most accommodations and airfare are cheaper.

Rest assured that no matter what time of the year you choose, the weather will never be too chilly or too hot. The average high temperature is approximately 30 °C, while the average lows are at around 25 °C.

The hottest month in Boracay Island usually falls from March to June, while the wettest month often falls from August to October.

White Beach stretches at approximately 4km of white fine sand and crystal blue water that can be truly considered world-class. It houses different Boracay hotels and beach resorts – ranging from the most luxurious 5-star hotels in the Philippines to the most affordable hostels.

It is divided into 3 areas: Station 1, 2, and 3. Each section has something to offer depending on your preference regarding ambiance, activities to do, and budget.

Situated in the middle, it is deemed to be the heart of White Beach since you can find most restaurants, shopping areas, and beach bars.

D’Mall, the popular shopping center on the island, is in Station 2; hence, this part of White Beach becomes overcrowded. But if you are looking for places to stay near where the action is, then Boracay Station 2 hotels are your best bet.

You can choose amongst accommodations such as The District Boracay, Hennan Garden Resort, HeyJude Boracay Resort, and La Carmela de Boracay.

For travelers who want a more secluded and quieter atmosphere but still nearby Boracay beach, Station 3 is the most recommended. Unlike Stations 1 and 2, this part of White Beach is not as developed yet; hence, fewer visitors and establishments are in the area.

Tucked away from the center, most of the hotels in Boracay Station 3 are budget-friendly accomodations and more native in style. However, some private villas and beach resorts have started to emerge and build their properties in Station 3 nowadays.

Villa Oceana, Asya Premier Suites, and Mandala Spa & Resort Villas are some of the go-to accommodations in this setting.
