Boracay is an island of the Philippines in the province of Aklan. The island is divided into three stations: Station 3, located at the southern part of the island where the cheaper lodgings can be found; Station 2, roughly in the center and meant for those who want to be close to bars and nightlife; and Station 1, the area for isolated accommodations. The latter offers peace and quiet away from the usual action-packed Boracay night scene.
