Good news for Metro Manila residents: there’s a “little Boracay” just three hours and a few minutes away from the city for your summer vacation. Located in Calatagan, the aptly named Little Boracay and Sandbar Resort is your new beach spot for your summer destination near Manila.
When you hear the words “white sands”, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Boracay, one of the Philippines’ best tourist destinations—a beach that has been a summer vacation destination for years.
