Boracay seasons and room prices
Boracay's high season follows the amihan, the northeast wind that blows from late October to May and keeps White Beach calm and clear; January to May is the best of it, with the least rain. Rooms peak over Christmas and New Year, Lunar New Year, Holy Week before Easter, and the Philippine summer break in April and May, and holiday weeks in Korea and China fill the White Beach resorts first. From June to September the southwest habagat pushes waves and seaweed onto White Beach and typhoons can pass, so the same room drops sharply in price. In those months it is Bulabog on the east side that turns calm.
Boracay local costs and payment
The currency is the Philippine peso. Resorts and the larger restaurants around D'Mall take cards, but electric tricycles, island hopping, the D'Talipapa market, massages and tips are all cash, so carry enough pesos. There are ATMs around D'Mall, though they can run dry in peak weeks. At the Caticlan jetty you pay a terminal fee, an environmental fee and the boat fare separately, in cash. Resorts often add VAT and a service charge on top of the room rate, and the gap between displayed price and total varies by site, so compare totals including tax and pay in pesos rather than your home currency.
