Shangri-La Boracay

"Providing "a great resort experience that everyone should enjoy," this property on 30 acres debuted in 2009. The main building is an open pavilion with a pitched roof and an exterior of local coral stone. Public areas create a sense of place with ten-foot-high tribal drums, carved wooden sculptures, and local art. "We had a gorgeous private villa with a pool right near the ocean--incredible." Room interiors showcase handwoven textiles, sconces made of local capiz shells, and oars framed as art. "The beautiful sunsets were eclipsed only by the great personal service." Seafood is the focus at the cliffside Sirena."

"Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa is located in one of the Philippines’ most popular vacation spots. And while it has all the musts—the turquoise waters, the powdered-sugar shores, the lush hills—what it doesn't have is the crowds. And therein lies the resort’s beauty, or at least some of it. Tucked into an eco-reserve with its own shimmering beach, the Shangri-La is also home to a canopy-cloaked dining aerie, sunset-surveying clifftop cabanas, and a peninsular spa on a private bay. Accommodations are impeccably appointed with local touches (think woven abaca rugs and lamps bedecked with capiz shells), and several of the lodgings feel more like private vacation homes. Take the aptly named treehouse villa, for example, where the canopy-level second story commands stunning sea views (best enjoyed from the hot tub on the balcony), or the pool villas, where the lure of en suite swimming almost overpowers the sea just outside."

Shangri-La Boracay is more than just a hotel; it is a destination in itself. From the moment you arrive, you feel the exclusivity and the high level of detail that goes into the guest experience. The Facilities & Grounds The resort is massive and beautifully maintained. Because the property is so expansive, they have a seamless system of shuttle carts to whisk you around, so you never have to worry about the distance. The architecture and landscaping are stunning, blending perfectly with the tropical surroundings. Privacy & Security One of the standout features is the sense of safety and privacy. The security here is impeccable; they keep close track of everyone entering and exiting the property, which gives you total peace of mind. Both the infinity pool and the beach are private, offering a serene escape far from the crowded white beach stations. Location & Accessibility While the resort is "far from everything," that is exactly what makes it special. It feels like a private island. If you do want to head into town for a bit of local action, the hotel makes it very easy to request an e-trike to take you into the main center. Dining Spotlight I highly recommend dining at their beach restaurant, Cielo. The food quality is excellent, the drinks are amazing, and the service is truly "anticipatory." During my lunch, the staff (shoutout to Owen!) noticed the sun shifting and proactively offered to move my table before I even realized I was getting hot. If you are looking for luxury, privacy, and world-class service in Boracay, this is the only place to be.

We truly had a beautiful stay at Shangri-La Boracay. The setting is stunning, the views are amazing, the beach is gorgeous, and the whole place feels very special. The staff is absolutely wonderful, kind, attentive, professional, and always smiling. They genuinely make you feel welcome, and they deserve a huge thank you. The airport transfer is also extremely well done. From the moment you exit the airport, everything is taken care of until you’re brought directly to your room. Same for the return. It’s smooth, comfortable, and stress-free, which is really appreciated. Our room was large, beautiful, very clean, with a gorgeous ocean view, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm and enjoyable. We honestly had a great time, and the environment is truly amazing. However, and this is the main point — the value for money is not there. We paid around USD 3,900 for four nights, which is almost USD 1,000 per night, and at that price, I personally expect a near-perfect experience. While everything was good, it didn’t feel exceptional enough to justify the cost. The hotel is starting to feel a bit dated and could really benefit from renovations to match its price and reputation. There were also many families and kids during our stay. I’m not sure if this is always the case, so I mention it with some reserve, but for travelers looking for calm and relaxation, it can take away from the luxury feel you expect at this level. The breakfast, on the other hand, is outstanding, one of the best we’ve had. Huge variety, great flavors, and very well executed. The staff there (like everywhere in the hotel) was excellent. One last detail: at nearly USD 1,000 per night, I was surprised that activities like tennis were not included. Paying extra for a short session, especially when the courts were empty, felt unnecessary at this price point. To be clear: we loved our stay, the place is beautiful, and the people are amazing. But at almost USD 1,000 per night, the pricing feels excessive for what is offered. With better value alignment and some updates, this hotel could be truly outstanding.

Shangri-La Boracay is obviously located in a beautiful, private location, but it was the resort staff who made our stay truly incredible. We had a wonderful time sailing with our sea caption, Friendel, who was friendly and attentive to our needs, helping to take lots of beautiful photos and keep our wine glasses full. He has worked with Shangri-La for 17 years and spoke highly of the resort management. I feel it's important how the resort treats its staff members, and this also impacts the service provided to guests. Throughout the remainder of our stay, Friendel continued to greet us by name in common areas of the resort and ask about our trip, making us feel extra welcome. Coming off the sailboat, I was running late for a salon appointment and I dropped my $600 Gucci sunglasses on the beach. They are my favorite pair of sunglasses and I was certain I would never see them again. However, a housekeeper named Anton turned them into security. On the beach, Warry and his colleague took care of us and served us cold beverages while one of them ran to the complete opposite side of the resort to bring me the sunglasses. At the salon, I had initially planned to only have my hair done and do my own makeup ahead of a beachfront engagement photoshoot. However, since I was running late, the stylist agreed on the spot to do both my hair and make up - and did a beautiful job at both! Finally, I enjoyed a wonderful, rejuvenating facial at the spa! After my appointment, the staff served me ginger tea with delicious dried mangoes in the hot tub, which helped me to more fully relax. The staff were attentive to every detail of our stay, creating a fun, restful, and memorable experience!

Our time at Shangri-La Boracay was amazing. It was like staying in a mythical, idyllic paradise, a hidden oasis on the island of Boracay. The venue was gorgeous. Our room was spectacular and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. The beach was gorgeous. To be able to walk straight from the beach into the pool and snorkel with fish, and through caves was a brilliant addition to the holiday. I attended a conference, and everything about the conference went smoothly. In the evening, we took advantage of the free daily shuttle bus into the town. We also asked the golf cart drivers to take us to the top of the mountain, so we could walk down the path, which they were happy to do. During our stay, my husband injured his foot. The on-site nurses at the in house medical services were exemplary. The following day, he made an appointment with a doctor, who visited the hotel and the doctor was able to deal with the injury efficiently. While the injury was unfortunate, the first class attention left us feeling stress free. We were very thankful.

We are extremely grateful for the warm hospitality extended by all the staff of your resort. Much kudos to Shanaih who check us in on November 10, 2025. We came from an overnight flight and were extremely tired and battling a fever. Her warm accommodation and understanding soothes our weary nerves and all we need to feel at home. We were able to recharge and had an extremely relaxing sleep on our first day and were able to enjoy the rest of our stay in your resort. We also want to give a shout out to all your staff for their courteous behavior and attentiveness. We've been to several resorts in many parts of the globe, but your resort stands out not just from your facilities but because of the attitude and behavior of your staff. We give them praise and recognition. We will surely be back and will recommend to our friends and family.

If I could give more stars, I absolutely would! Shangri-La Boracay is truly incredible — from the moment you arrive, the service is exceptional. The food is exquisite, and the beach is breathtakingly beautiful. The breakfast selection is probably the best I’ve ever seen at any hotel! We stayed from October 6th to 11th, expecting rain every day, but to our surprise, we had sunshine all week — absolutely perfect weather! The entire resort is stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed, from the décor to the impeccable service. What an unforgettable experience — we can’t wait to come back!

Our family had a short but wonderful stay at Shangri-La Boracay last November 10–11, and it truly exceeded our expectations in terms of service, comfort, and attention to detail. From the moment we arrived, the staff demonstrated genuine attentiveness and thoughtfulness — especially as we were traveling with two senior citizens. The check-in process was smooth, and we immediately felt warmly welcomed. The team offered assistance with our luggage and made sure my parents were comfortable, even arranging buggy rides whenever needed. We also enjoyed dining at Cielo, where the staff provided excellent service. They were very patient, accommodating our requests, and even assisted us in reviewing the bill to apply senior citizen discounts — a gesture we truly appreciated. The resort’s ambiance, cleanliness, and serene atmosphere made our short stay even more relaxing. The view was breathtaking, and the team’s warmth made it feel like home away from home. Although it was only a one-night stay, the experience left a lasting impression on our family. We will definitely come back again for a longer visit next time. Thank you, Shangri-La Boracay, for your exceptional hospitality and heartfelt service.

Attended a wedding here last night and they have a beautiful garden with a stunning view of the sunset. I think the best part was the service where it felt personalized - the people took care of us every step of the way. Special mention to Regine who was kind, attentive, and very responsive to my needs from the garden reception all the way to the afterparty. All good things from Shang Boracay!

If you want to experience Boracay at its finest, stay here! From the place, to the hospitality and the kindness of the employees, excellent food, very quiet so we were really to relax and enjoy the beach. From the time you get to the airport or the port they took care of us. The nurse on site was really nice and took care of my husband. They set up an anniversary surprise for us which we really enjoyed. Hopefully, we are able to come back for our 10th year wedding anniversary.

Beautiful resort. From the pick up at the airport, to the dock, onto the boat, to the hotel. What a first class experience. Went there for a wedding and everything was pretty much perfect. The wedding got rain upon, but the staff adapt pretty quickly and the venue was in door within the hour and proceeded without a hiccup. I won't post pictures because honestly it won't do it justice. For sure you are paying a premium for this resort but you won't have to worry about a thing. Ok. So typically I post a separate review for the restaurant but I am lazy right now. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and gorgeous. I just felt some of the food was bland. This is something I wrestled with writing here. I had been drinking on the nights before so I was not 100%. Still a good meal to last the whole day. If you can afford it and you have the time, this is the resort you want ti stay at.

This was my third time staying at the Shangri-La Boracay and it did not disappoint. Everything about the experience was great and I could not have asked for anything better. From the moment of arrival at the airport, we were taken care of by all staff. We happened to catch the tail-end of a harsh storm and there were severe delays with the flight and access to the boat to take us to the island - all attendants did everything to try to make the situation as comfortable as possible, even if it was not their fault. Once we were at the resort, the staff were so friendly and warm and it felt genuine. Whether with cleaning persons, kitchen staff or health club attendants, everyone was so nice and willing to help with anything. The fact that they have their own secluded beach also makes a difference. While it's fine to visit the main area of Boracay, it's nice to end the day on a quiet, relaxing area of the island with no disturbances and a sense of ease. Besides the amazing service, the food (especially the food at Vintana, which includes their breakfast buffet), was awesome. An incredible selection of mostly Filipino food, this was a great way to start the day. All items were fresh and tasty - breads, pastries, cheeses, cooked meats, sushi, authentic jams, fresh juices and smoothies, flavorful ice cream - everything was fantastic. It was always a challenge to try to moderate my meal since everything was so good and I didn't want to miss out on a delicious food item. If you're looking for an awesome experience and you want to have incredible food, definitely stay at this amazing resort!

This is my first stay at a Shangri-La, and I was more than impressed. I did not book directly on their site, which in retrospect, I should have, but that didn't make our stay any worse. It was just that I was concerned about transportation between Caticlan and Boracay, but their customer service was top notch the entire time! My brother and his family had stayed here years ago and highly recommended "The Shang". Admittedly, I was a bit worried since it was literally close to nothing, but they provide a free shuttle to Station 2 (first come, first serve), if you want to get out of paradise. When you arrive at the port, The Shang has it's own private lounge and boat to take you to and from Caticlan - it literally felt first class from this moment on, the only thing missing was the fireworks and the red carpet! When you arrive, they have muscians greeting you and they whisk you away to your room in a buggie to check you in. Our room had a Sea View - with a huge balcony, it was very relaxing to listen to the waves in the evening. The resort is huge!!! 2 private beaches, pools, fantastic restaurants, activities all day!!! We missed the bats at dusk, though - I guess we'll need to visit again to see them. The pools and the beaches were uber relaxing, I could just lay there all day - and I totally did. Our package included the breakfast buffet, which was phenomenal - a donut wall, bread section, noodle section, a ton of options!!! We also enjoyed a few of the resorts restaurant, our favorite was Sirena - sunset is a must here. I highly recommend a visit to Shangri-La Boracay!

AMAZING resort. From entry to the beach front, it is gorgeous. The only down fall? Getting there. Lots of traffic to get through before you reach your destination. However, it's worth staying at if you don't mind staying at the resort for most of your stay. It is quite far from the main happenings of the island. They are currently working on paving the roads so this is a majority of why there was traffic. BUT don't let that stop you from staying at this beautiful place. Their customer service is superb. Beautiful architecture. The pool area is so awesome I'd find myself there every day. There's a large pool bar and they have live entertainment. Our favorite parts of the resort are the buffet and the entertainment area which has- mancala, pool tables, computers, a bar, and karaoke rooms. This hotel has it all including a children's day camp area and a spa/ salon! You'll find all that you need here to have a wonderful vacation on a beautiful island. Highly recommend!

I expected nothing but the best and as always Shangri-La delivered. I have known their resort back in Cebu for their impeccable customer service and they did not fall short here in Boracay. I am so happy we picked this place instead of the beach stations. Although i do enjoy people watching sometimes, perhaps my age is catching up on me and I now prefer the peace and quiet this tropical paradise offers. From airport pick-up to arrival, everything was hassle- and stress-free. Staff attends to your needs politely and as promptly as possible. They do not even dilly dally and wait around for tips. You can tell they definitely want to make their customers happy and satisfaction is their goal. The resort is clean, well-maintained and beautiful with its landscaping and overall decor. Like a mix of modern and tropical. The moment you step into their lobby, you can absolutely say "now this is what i call a vacation!". The ambiance becons you in itself. They offer 7 different restaurants to fit your appetite, your mood and your style. Both pools and beaches are gorgeous! I could swim in them all day but i'd be fried from the heat lol I love that this resort is private and have their own beach front too. My review will do no justice from the exceptional experience I always get to have while staying at a Shangri-La resort but the Shangri-La here in Boracay is a whole new level! Definitely one of the best resorts in the Philippines!

1. You will feel like a James Bond villain. Met by beautiful girls on the wait staff at a private dock that your boar is moored to. 2. The design of the resort support the Bond theme with many infinity pools, floating stone paths, and clean aesthetics. 3. The breakfast buffet is remarkable. Try it out, they have your cravings covered. Shangri-La - very aptly named. If you don't know - look it up. This one's not in Tibet, but it has a nice chunk of beach on Boracay and it's very well kept.

I am here in Boracay Philippines staying at infamous Shangri-La that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stayed on one famous trip many years ago and it is as they said quite an amazing experience with views today for in-service that's really unbeatable!! We are by the beach and the food was great. The only issue I had which prevented me from giving the complete five stars was the bed was HaRD!!!!??? After spending so much in the grounds you would think they would provide comfortable beds ... well maybe it's good for my back so I'll just let it go but I do enjoy comfortable beds.. other than that it's quite amazing and I hope you all get to come here one day

Stayed here for a wedding and had a great time. Although the Philippines is cheap, this place had prices of an expensive US city and it is not an inclusive resort. Staff was super friendly and the food was better then other resorts ive stayed at, probably because you have to pay for it, except for breakfast which was free and also really good. Breakfast was a buffet that had all sorts of food from American, to Filipino, to Japanese. While the breakfast foods and pastries were all amazing I was most impressed by the juice bar. They had all sorts of freshly squeezed fruit juices and cleansing shots and you could ask for any smoothly or juice combination and it would be brought to your table. Food by the pool was also great, the pizza was surprisingly good, could have used a little a longer in the oven but still good. Pork belly was amazing and pretty cheap and listed as a snack some how but it seems like a full meal. Fries were on point. No complaints.

This is probably one of the best top of the line resorts on Boracay island. Even with a confirmed reservation, we were subjected to pass to two security check points and reservation confirmation for our Valentine dinner at one of their buffet restaurants outlet-Vintana. Once cleared, a hotel shuttle bus took us to the main reception area, where we lounged and drank wine for a while before dinner. The resort is situated on the hilly side of the island over looking the Boracay marina. The hotel buildings are scattered all over the area. One can wander around from one hotel to another, hence, the tight security. I love the classic vibe and some touch of sophistication of this hotel. It's a great place to come over for a special occasion dinner, the Soltana bar is a place to watch the sunset and great precursor to dinner. I will definitely come back to dine or even stay in this resort in the future.

Everyone here is so friendly and polite! They really try their best to make you feel pampered. Just FYI though - mostly everything is really expensive at the resort. The spa is $$$! If you want a nice massage, I recommend going to D-Mall and finding a local spot there (much cheaper!!) The food is just decent (not amazing) so I also recommend exploring other restaurants near D-Mall as aell.

The Shangrila is an institurion by their own reputation. Yet my personal view of the Crimson Resort located in station zero as well outshines the Shangrila both related to service and culinary quality. Sorry guys, yet I implore you guys to step your game up, consistent with the Shangrila brand. Willing to give this another review in the near future. Till then.....

What an incredible experience. We are so glad we stayed here for our honeymoon. You really get what you pay for with the attentive service and amenities. Checked in on a Sunday and they allowed us early check in. Was greeted by a shuttle at the tiny Boracay airport and whisked away to a boat that ferried us to the resort. They allowed us to check in early (at a cost) and our room was stunning - sea view deluxe with ocean views and a warm bubble bath and glass of wine. We were even able to have our laundry done. Food options were diverse and delicious - definitely cater to the Asian palate but there were western choices as well. The best part of dining was the included breakfast buffet that had literally anything you could ever possibly want for breakfast. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to our friends and family.

I got to stay at the Shangri-La Boracay location as my first experience in a high caliber resort! And man, was it an experience. Having never stayed in a place like this, their attention to detail and their guests was impeccable. For someone who has never splurged on something like this, I could write about their customer service and commitment to excellence all day. When you arrive in the Boracay airport, the staff greet you in the airport and help you log your arrival with the tourism desk. From there you are whisked away to their own private lounge where they meet you with a cool cloth to wipe your face/hands with and a cold glass of fruit infused water. After their expected guests arrive they drive you in their personal boat to the private dock of the resort, where a golf cart will drive you up to the front desk. There you're greeted by courteous staff who handle your registration process. I don't want to spoil the whole experience, but from the time you arrive you are made to be quite comfortable (unless you're like me and experiencing this for the first time, so you may be a little thrown off). Your room will be luxuriously comfortable, with a top notch bathroom and high speed wifi throughout the resort; the best internet I had during my entire 2 week trip! The rooms are so comfortable you almost want to spend your whole trip there. The resort is about 20 minutes from the main Boracay city so it's definitely secluded and quite comfortable. As for the location itself, it's a tropical island paradise. The resort has two private beaches, an infinity pool, and so much more! You definitely are not wanting at this location unless you want the authentic Boracay experience. I would HIGHLY recommend taking part in their massage spa! It's an experience like no other I've had and the staff are quite skilled and professional. Definitely worth every penny! Their food was pretty good in my opinion too! Somewhat expensive for a meal in the Philippines but almost on par with costs that an American would expect in a typical setting. I loved the Brazilian burger I had and their chicken/pork adobo pizza! As well as the drinks I had with it. Delicious. All in all I had an amazing time and I hope I will someday be able to experience it again!

When you first get off the boat, the greeters say "Welcome to paradise"...and they are absolutely correct. Shangri-la is beautiful! The private white sand beaches are amazing and very relaxing. We initially had trouble with our reservation but management was very helpful and even upgraded our room to an ocean view for our trouble. We were only at the resort for three nights, so unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try any of the daily activities because we had other plans in Boracay. We did however get a chance to try all the restaurants and they were all delicious. Everything I ordered was beyond words and the breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had at a resort or any other restaurant. I would definitely suggest you put this on your list of places to visit.

Nights in white satin, Never reaching the end, Letters I've written, Never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before ... ...until I came to Barangay Yapak. It is a truly gorgeous location and if you love open water swimming and talcum fine sand from Parrot Fish blowback then this is where you come. You will sleep as the proverbial log in their super comfy beds. Dining is expensive and, unusually for the Shangri La, quality is average, at best. Transport to the Island is hit and miss but it's a local service, you cannot blame the Hotel for that but I was disappointed that there was no Sisiq to go with my beers at the bar :( In comparison to other Shangri La hotels around the planet Barangay has spectacular scenery but that will depend on your room allocation. Take a look at the resort layout and be specific about what you want. Prior to my first sojourn to this mini paradise I was tipped off by the Blu Bar staff in Singapore about where the best views were and they did me proud. This is a chill venue of the highest order and if you can't cool your jets here then get your wheels off the runway .... #smoothasshit

Very lucky to be invited and to indulge myself in such a paradise. The view is magnificent. At the moment of life, I enjoy rather intimate contact with people around than crazy crowd. Shangri La provides is such a luxury option to spend a weekend here in Boracay. It's not our first time in Boracay and we definitely have tried different accommodations around the area but believe me, if budget is not a concern, it's worthwhile to stay here at least for one night. All the transportations are planned and ready for you. Only thing you need to do is "do nothing", great isn't it? Wish to come back with besties soon again! Pho

We stayed at Shangri-La Boracay resort on August 29 to 31, 2016 wherein I proceeded to be inundated with bites all over my body especially on my lower right arm as you can see from the picture. I did not think too much of it the first night but on the 2nd night, more appeared so I decided to inspect the mattress and the bed frame underneath. I found numerous black specks on the mattress and on the side with some blood spots which means fecal matter of the bed bugs plus on the bed frame were more blood spots all around the edges/corner of the bed. It looked really disgusting and unclean. I was very horrified and disappointed that a supposedly fancy expensive resort has this kind of room for their guests. I then complained to the duty Manager Alexander Yamat who only sent his housekeeper to inspect it. They only sprayed the room and did not do anything else. I insisted to have our clothes washed and be moved to another room which they did. I asked for a refund but they will not provide it to me. I am definitely one unhappy and unsatisfied guest. They keep blaming sand flies for the reason of my bites but I did not do any sunbathing. I just hope that I did not bring any of the bugs home with me. Needless to say, I won't be staying at any Shangri-La hotel based on this experience.

It was a joy being there and my family loved every minute. The sea view from our suite was magnificent and picture perfect. We hope to be back in Boracay soon.

Had an amazing stay here with my family and the in laws. Hotel is top notch, decor is on point, service is impeccable (including little buggy's at your beck and call to transport you anywhere on the resort), views were incredibly beautiful overlooking two of what seemed like private beaches, free buffet in the morning featured a wonderful rotating feast of all that you could ask for, spa was beautiful and massages were great (including pool side with the relaxing of waves from the beach in your ears. You will not be disappointed if you choose the Shangri-La while you are in Boracay.

Just checked in here 4 days ago. Spent 4 days & 3 nights. If you want to experience paradise in Boracay this is the place for you. I highly recommend this specially if you are travelling with children. The food is good and the price is reasonable. The staff are courteous and pleasant. The place is very clean. They clean your room 2x a day. When you are going to swim at the beach you don't have to worry with your bags and personal stuff coz it's entirely safe to leave them on the lounge chairs. The resort is very private and the beach is secluded. I had the best massage at the Chi Spa. You have your own individual Balinese type small cottage with full shower & bath. The service is exemplary! Every penny spent is all worth it. The resort has their own doctor and 5 nurses 24/7. Indeed this is the best resort in Boracay and one of the best in the Philippines!
