Movenpick Boracay

Perfect for: Luxury travelers Come here for: The ultimate in luxury and privacy.

Chain brands like Movenpick follow exacting international standards, which you should come to expect in all of their hotels—except that no other Movenpick in the world can boast of Boracay’s powdery white beaches. Located at Station Zero, with its exclusive beach at the Punta Bunga Cove, the five-star Movenpick is set on a lush tropical landscape that gives guests a sense of utmost privacy. And thanks to the 3,300-square-meter multi-level pools, you’ll feel like you have your own personal oasis (no bumping into someone’s elbow or foot when you’re doing your laps).

This sense of indulgence extends to its restaurants. Movenpick’s team of chefs prepares beautifully crafted dishes in its dining outlets. The star of the show? Italian restaurant Brezza’s Quattro Formaggio, which may be the best cheese pizza you’ll try anywhere in the Philippines. Baked in the restaurant’s signature brick oven, which serves as the centerpiece of this open-layout restaurant, the ₱600 four-cheese pizza is famous island-wide, along with the Pizza Vongole.

If you want to go to the main island to party, Movenpick offers free shuttles, but why stray when Sol Marina, the resort club, offers great party music on scene with a live DJ, and some of the best cocktails while you have an uninterrupted view of the breathtaking sunset.

Movenpick has the youngest, hippest vibe in the Station Zero location. Coming with family? The Kids Club offers activities like pizza and cookie making, bracelet making and fish feeding—and you can leave your children to enjoy movies and video games. Movie nights for kids are also offered, so Mom and Dad can enjoy the Boracay night in silence.

Don’t miss: Chocolate hour! What could be more luxurious than one hour eat-all-you-can chocolate hour? Swiss perfection!—KRIZETTE CHU
