Celebrating 17 years of Mandarin Premier's signature hospitality

For decades, Boracay has been the crown jewel of Philippine tourism. Its pristine white sands, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets have made it a haven for travelers from all corners of the globe. Traditionally a summer destination, Boracay has increasingly become a go-to place for families, couples, and friends celebrating the festive Christmas season. This holiday period, the island is once again buzzing with excitement, promising a unique mix of relaxation, celebration, and unforgettable memories.

Amid the island's many treasures, one hospitality brand stands out as a favorite among both seasoned travelers and first-time visitors: the Mandarin Premier Hotels and Resorts Group which boasts a diverse collection of prime locations across Boracay Island, including five hotels and resorts, seven restaurants and bars, and the Mandarin Spa.
