The Philippine Star

Indulge in a legacy of luxury

- By Andre Santiago

Well- renowned across the world for being one of the most beautiful island paradises, Boracay’s ever- pristine white beach never fails to capture the hearts of thousands of thrill-seekers each year. Aside from its postcard- picturesqu­e vistas, Boracay has undeniably earned a reputation for its vibrant tourist scene sprawling with fantastic night life and parties; a vivid contrast from its humble beginnings as a peaceful beachfront getaway.

However, indulging in a tranquil island vacation is not unheard, of and experienci­ng the finest luxury treatment doesn’t have to mean straying away from where all the action is.

Find solace in the midst of Boracay’s dynamic atmosphere and luxuriate in complete relaxation at the esteemed Henann Regency Resort & Spa.

Formerly known as the Boracay Regency Beach Resort & Spa, the Henann Regency Resort & Spa has been the resort of choice of frequent Boracay visitors for as long as 18 years.

Henann ensures that all guests are treated lavishly the moment they get off the plane, providing refreshmen­ts and private transporta­tion from the airport to Boracay island with the resort’s own passenger vans and speedboats.

Located in the heart of White Beach’s Station 2, guests are offered with the choice of checking into any of Henann’s three triple A-rated resorts — Henann Regency, Henann Garden and Henann Lagoon.

As for Henann Regency, the resort boasts of illustriou­s Mediterran­eaninspire­d architectu­re, landscaped gardens and unparallel­ed proximity to the crystalcle­ar waters and powder-white sand of Boracay’s cobalt shores.

Of the 302 first-class rooms and suites, those located at the resort’s Main and North Wings, are perfect for those who want to have a splendid view of Boracay’s prized beauty.

All rooms and suites are equipped with state- of- the- art amenities along with blissfully comfortabl­e beds, elegant bathrooms and the finest modern convenienc­es.

Guests are given access to a wellequipp­ed gym and fitness center, a VIP lounge serving snacks and cocktails and a mini-shop all located within the premises.

Henann Regency also features three sparkling swimming pools strategica­lly located at each of the three wings of the resort; the East Wing pool being the most notable for its jacuzzi and sunken pool bar for guests to relax and enjoy.

After an exhausting day of swimming and beach activities, find the time to unwind in Henann Regency’s very own Asian- inspired luxury spa, Kai Spa. Spoil yourself with signature massages, facial treatments, hand and foot care, and heavenly scrubs and wraps. Pampering the palate

While Boracay may be home to numerous restaurant­s scattered all over the long beach, Henann Regency Resort & Spa features its own seven premium dining experience­s catering to numerous types of cuisines, including modern Filipino, Italian, Western, Chinese and Korean.

Sea Breeze Café is a constant favorite choice for Henann guests as it offers an extensive continenta­l buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Those looking for something more private often consider Christina’s, where fine dining is always an incomparab­le experience.

Meanwhile, Hap Chan offers authentic Chinese cuisine while Mesa serves a wide selection of “Filipino moderne” cuisine.

After dinner, visitors can immerse themselves into Boracay’s party scene at the popular Wave Bar & Lounge for some bar specials and signature drinks. Spreading the word

Over the years, Henann Group of Resorts has constantly strived to improve its advertisin­g campaigns, and even pioneered in the use of livery ad placements in the resort industry by partnering with Cebu Pacific.

“We chose to partner with Cebu Pacific because it is the biggest airline right now based on number of passengers flown. It would be the best fit as Cebu Pacific flies 36 times weekly to Kalibo and 66 times weekly to Caticlan, making it the most convenient airline going to Boracay,” said Karl Chusuey, Henann Group of Resort VP for marketing.

By utilizing the airline livery, Henann Group of Resorts is not only able to promote its own brand, but also the Philippine­s as a world-class tourist destinatio­n.

“As you can see in the airline livery, we always make it a point to put Philippine­s on both sides of the aircraft to show how proud we are of this beautiful country,” Chusuey added.
