Location, Location, LocationA Dream in ParadiseBoracay island has been a hidden gem for the last century, but over the last decade is has become the most desirable beach and island destination in Asia. While it has been on the map in Asia for a number of years, only now are Europeans beginning to realise that nowhere else in the world can match the natural beauty, stunning coastline and easy way of life that is Boracay Island. White Beach, known to many asThe most beautiful beach in the world is 7km of pure white sand. The fine coral sand means that you can walk along the beach even on the hottest days, and because its colour reflects the sun, your feet will stay cool. The Filipino people are famous for their charming smiles, and hospitable and welcoming nature. Visitors are pleasantly surprised by the lengths to which the local people will go just to make sure their stay is as pleasurable as possible. With a strong Spanish influence, local food and culture has both an Asian and European flavour. Filipinos also speak English, which is an added bonus, ensuring that when you arrive you feel instantly at home, having escaped the hustle and bustle of working life. The Philippines contains over 7000 different islands. Sitting in Southeast Asia, it lies close to Malaysia, Thailand and Japan. Access is easy from all of these nations. One can fly to Manila from London Gatwick for just 278euros and obtain a cheap connecting flight to the local airport, which is a short boat trip from the island. With Richard Branson purchasing a percentage of Air Asia and planning to provide even lower cost flights to Asia for Europeans, the world is becoming a much smaller place. “Location, location, location” is always at the centre of everyone’s dream of paradise, and Boracay is just a plane trip away for anyone in Asia, Europe, the USA and Australia... Miles of fine sandy beaches, warm turquoise water, an international golf course, a backdrop of the most beautiful tropical surroundings, and luxurious spa’s among the palms and coconuts. Along with an excellent climate all year round, this is the real paradise where your dream begins. History, Culture andEconomyArchaeologists suggest that life existed on the Philippines from 50,000 BC. In the service of Spain, in 1521 the great Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived on these shores and by 1571 Manila was established as the capital of the Spanish colony. Roman Catholic missionaries spent the next 300 years converting most of the indigenous people to Christianity, making the Philippines the only Roman Catholic country in Asia. The British, Dutch, French, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese attempted to take control from the Spanish at a number of points but only during the 7 years war was Manila under control of the British After numerous revolts, the Philippine Revolution broke out in 1896, aimed at independence. Two years later, theSpanish-American War began in Cuba and soon found its way to the Philippines. After a Philippine-American War, a number of revolts and the Japanese occupation during World War II, the Philippines achieved its independence from the United States on July 4 1946. The Hispanic influences in Filipino culture are largely derived from the culture of Spain and Mexico as a result of over three centuries of Spanish colonial rule through Mexico City. These Hispanic influences are most evident in literature, folk music, folk dance, language, food, art and religion, such as Roman Catholic Church religious festivals. Filipinos hold major festivities known as barrio fiestas to commemorate their patron saints. One of the most visible Hispanic legacy, is the prevalence of Spanish surnames among Filipinos Climate and GeographyThe local climate is tropical with the average yearly temperature of 26.5 degrees. Many of the mountainous islands are covered in tropical rainforests and there are many volcanoes scattered around some of the 7107 islands, providing an incredible sight for tourists. BoracayThe island of Boracay is located off the northwest corner of the island of Panay and belongs to the Western Visayas group of islands. The island is only 7 kilometres long, and in some places just over 1km wide. The island has a main road accessing all areas, and also provides necessary infrastructure such as Banks, medical centres and small supermarkets to support the modest population. Strict laws, agreed by local landowners, ensure the island will always retain its natural beauty and incredible landscape. A number of high-end resorts line the beaches. Tropical rainforest provides a stunning backdrop, with many elevations giving wonderful panoramic views of the island. Indeed, the development site of S&D is itself elevated, providing mesmerising views of the sea and beach. An international 18-hole golf course, Fairways and Bluewater, lies adjacent to our site, with access available to any of our buyers. The local cuisine provides a cultural mix of tastes and scents. Local Filipino food, Spanish, Chinese and European dishes provide the mainstay, with fine beef imported from Australia.The Catholic religion is evident, with a local parish church and some beautifully- maintained shrines on the island. The boat across to the mainland costs a mere 35 cents – evidence of the exceptionally low cost of living in this veritable paradise.
