boracay.biz is Boracay, the practical guide. It is written for people planning a trip to Boracay island in the Philippines, whether they are coming from abroad or from elsewhere in the country. It answers the specific questions: what it costs to get in, what the rules are now, when to go, which area to stay in, and what to expect from power and internet. As of October 2026 the site has 50 guides.
Boracay’s fees, registration steps and rules have changed several times, and the pages that rank for them are often old, uncited or in disagreement with each other. This site gives the current answer, states the date it was checked, and links the source. Where sources disagree, the guide says so and shows both figures.
It does not try to be a directory, a list of things to do, a live status board or a review site. Boracay is the subject; the mainland of Aklan appears only as the way in.
The site is independent. It is not affiliated with the Province of Aklan, the Municipality of Malay, the Philippine Department of Tourism, or any hotel, port, airline or tour operator it writes about.
Who publishes it
boracay.biz is published by Webhaus LLC, 2108 N St, Ste 4030, Sacramento, CA 95816, USA. Webhaus LLC also publishes guides to other places and is responsible for everything on this site.
Who writes it
Kai Mahal is the editorial byline of the boracay.biz team at Webhaus LLC, not the name of a single person. Guides under that byline are researched from what Philippine government bodies, researchers, news organizations and operators publish, drafted with the help of AI research and writing tools, and checked against the cited sources before publication, as the editorial policy describes.
The team is not on the island, and the guides make no first-hand claims. Nothing here is a trip report or a review of a hotel, a meal or a beach. What a guide says, it says because a source it cites says so, and the sources are listed at the bottom of every guide with the date each was checked.
How the site is researched
Every guide cites its sources with numbered references, and the list at the end gives the page, the publisher and the date it was checked. Sources are official Philippine government pages, peer-reviewed studies, established news reporting, and operators’ own pages for their own facts. Wikipedia, blogs and forums are not used as sources. A claim that cannot be verified is left out.
Many local ordinances in the Philippines are not published online. Where a guide relies on news reports of an ordinance rather than its text, it says so.
Guides are re-checked at least every six months and carry an updated date. If something is wrong or out of date, use the contact page and it will be corrected.
How the site makes money
boracay.biz earns a commission from Booking.com hotel links, through CJ Affiliate, when a stay is completed. It costs the reader nothing extra, and the commission does not affect which hotels are listed. Details are on the affiliate disclosure page.
