With the challenging and difficult times that everyone has been through during this last recession — still is a serious issue for many countries — who couldn't use a great vacation right now? It's a given that, given the opportunity, almost anyone would pack their suitcase immediately and go to an exotic destination to relax and unwind. Different people have various preferences for their vacations; some choose skiing or snowboarding in colder climates, while others like to explore countries they've never visited before, learning about the local cultures, foods, and customs. Still others might enjoy a travel adventure involving hiking, canoeing, and exploring unusual places. But almost everyone can appreciate the appeal of a beautiful tropical paradise with almost infinite stretches of white sand, clear and azure waters, and a comfortable chair to settle into and just relax.
The power of suggestion of such an idyllic setting is not lost on travel companies and large advertising companies, charged with promoting anything from alcoholic beverages to sunscreen products. These companies display beautiful pictures of specific travel destinations that often don't reflect the reality of the actual location. Hawaii is an example of a destination where the hype doesn't always match the reality of what one encounters, especially on the Big Island, which is packed with hotels and very few free spaces to comfortably settle down.
As the world's population increases, so does the pressure on beautiful locations that become heavily advertised and draw large crowds. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find isolated tropical paradises where one can truly stretch one's legs and relax without being overrun by other visitors. Fortunately, there are still a few locations in the world that are pristine and unspoiled, offering the visitor a truly wonderful vacation experience with memories that will last a lifetime. One such location is the island of Boracay, an unspoiled tract of land only 300 miles from Manila, Philippines. It is part of the Panay Island Group in the Western Visayas and is famous for its amazing white sand beaches, which are soft and brilliant. There are plenty of luxurious accommodations such as a Boracay condo, where one can enjoy an exceptionally pleasant stay.
Boracay is so exceptional that almost every year it receives some of the top destination awards from travel magazines around the world. Although relatively tiny, measuring only 10 km², its main beach, appropriately known as White Beach, stretches for almost 7 km along the ocean. The island offers many different options for one's vacation, from walks along the beach or just relaxing in a lounge chair to far more strenuous activities. Because Boracay is blessed with dependable winds all year long, windsurfing and kiteboarding are extremely popular sports, and one can even receive instructions on how to enjoy these wonderful activities. Diving tours are also extremely popular, especially those conducted at night, which provide for an unforgettable and unique experience.
