Blue Lagoon Boracay Resort

The Blue Lagoon Boracay Resort, also known among locals as the Malingay Cove, used to be a secret getaway. In fact, when people say “Pagudpud Beach”, it usually means Saud Beach which is about twenty minutes away from Blue Lagoon. Recently, however, because of its rustic beauty, Maira-ira (the name given to the entire stretch of beach in Blue Lagoon) is fast gaining popularity.

The Blue Lagoon Boracay Resort, which was completed in 2006, is located at the natural Tulubhanbeach on Boracay Island in the Philippines. Staying at the Blue Lagoon Resort will surely help to relax your mind and re-charge your energy. Our resort, with a purpose, has exceptionally chosen the small, more remote cove of Tulubhan in the south-eastern part of Boracay, rather than the overcrowded Whitebeach on the eastern side of the island. Staying at the Resort will make you avoid seeing congested big hotel structures which are nowadays typical for prominent tourist destinations but you are going to experience the distinct and original charm of the Paradise Island of Boracay.

During the summer, the cerulean waters of Blue Lagoon are idyllic, placid and serene. Though during the rainy season, the surfs are strong and unfriendly. Even if it’s summer, however, make sure to equip children (if any) with life vests for added protection.

The atmosphere of the island is perfect for romantic searching honeymooners, golf-enthusiasts (www.boracaygolf.com) and Aqua-sports lovers. Boracay is well known for the Professional Aqua-Sports: kite-boarding, surfing, diving, and many more. Or simply enjoy the long white dream beach.

The southeast of this island has many romantic lagoons. This coast is also loved by the surf and kite Profs because of the high waves. The Tulubhanbeach is compared to the White beach, still very natural and is inviting for a quiet romantic walk. You will never forget the sunrise. All our rooms have a direct view on the sea. If you want to have a glimpse of the sunrise, you don’t need get out early; you'll get a perking glimpse of this while you're still lazing in your own bed.

On the southwest of the island can you find the famous Whitebeach. The white powder-like fine sand makes the name of the beach right. This side of the island has the most modern tourist facilities. Here, you can find all kinds of shopping malls, fun places, restaurants and bars. Here, they never sleep! The Whitebeach offers for all fun seekers until very late at night a diverse of bars, discos and open-air facilities.

A free shuttle-service is available between 07:00 until 22:00 (service beyond the time can also be requested), if you may wish to tour around the key destinations in the island.

Apo Island Liberty Lodge

One of the two beach resorts in the island, Liberty Lodge is a unique structure whose central portion is built into a rock wall, giving you the impression of being actually carved into it.

The lodge has nine rooms, all with electric fans and decorated in typical Filipino fashion. Large windows abound in the whole building to address ventilation issues as air conditioning is virtually unheard of in the island. Bamboo and wood make up for much of the materials used, the furniture is also made of comfortable bamboo designs made by local craftsmen.



Recent expansion has brought about bigger rooms, each having its own private little balcony facing west of the island. Room rates begin from 20 USD to 40 USD depending on the type of accommodation.

Also in Liberty Lodge is Paul’s Diving, a specialty dive shop who offer diving services as well as rent out equipment and gear. There is also Liberty’s Restaurant, a well situated dining space that has a complete view of the beach. Some of its specialties are Filipino dishes mixed with selected international cuisine. Fish, being abundant and fresh all year round, is the highlight of the menu. The restaurant chef will cook it any way you want to have it.

The ambiance of Liberty’s Lodge is just hard to resist as it allows every guest to capture and truly enjoy the magic of island living, relying only on the barest of essentials. The island itself is devoid of electricity from 10pm - 6pm, so a stand by generator is always at hand to supply power to the hotel and restaurant. Six refrigerators are filled up to ensure cold beverages even ice cream at any time of the day. Being a remote island has presented difficulties but measures have been implemented to overcome such difficulties.

A stay at the Liberty Lodge is just a complement to the great diving at the Apo Island Marine Sanctuary where every diver claims witness to the fantastic underwater world. The main activity is always scuba diving and snorkeling in the nearby shallow reefs. A walk on the beach, a nap on a swaying hammock, and a meal taken under the island sunset are some of the many ways of savoring the total sense of the vacation. Here in this tiny island, one can only be at peace with himself.
