MANILA, Philippines – “Laboracay” is here.
Boracay Island is already one of the world’s most popular summer destinations. But come Labor Day weekend, all 3 stations turn into a nonstop beach party consisting of concerts, events, and sand sports galore.
Get ready for the crowd too. You’ll probably bump into more than a couple of friends there. From sunrise to sundown, the beach gets filled with people drinking, taking a dip, and making the most of the long weekend.
Determined to have a good time? You don’t need to feel lost or overwhelmed. Here’s how you can make the most of your ‘Laboracay’ stay:
Play hard
‘Laboracay’ is the perfect season for adrenaline junkies. Aside from the usual paddle board rentals and banana boat rides, there are even more booths for paraw sailing, ultimate frisbee, and so on. If you’re more of a spectator, there’s also the big NESTEA Beach Volleyball tournament happening again this year. (READ: Pineda, Galang, Soltones headline Nestea Beach volleyball)
Avoid wasting your time at the queue by registering early. After trying out each activitiy, make sure to drink lots of cold fluids so you stay hydrated. You don’t want to be wiped out in the middle of the day, right?
Party harder
It’s not everyday that you can dance the night away in a bikini or board shorts, so make sure to enjoy all the free gigs!
The best way to enjoy a little bit of everything is to hop aboard a yacht party, which will take you from one island to the next. These start late in the afternoon. Bring power banks because you won’t be able to come back to the main island until late evening.
Local performers and electronic DJs will be performing live on the different beaches. We also heard that international DJs will be spinning on back-to-back parties: Grammy winner Cedric Gervais (May 3) and electronic dance music legend Steve Aoki (May 4). Make sure you don’t miss it!
Chill out – early
Wake up as early as 7AM – catching the sunrise is already worth it. The best time to go for a swim is early in the morning, when most partygoers are still asleep. Aside from catching the beautiful sunrise, you’ll have a good hour to enjoy the beach and the shore to yourself.
Come afternoon, chill out and go for a seaside massage while sipping your favorite drink. The masseuse’s relaxing strokes can help you zone out from all the happy chaos for a moment.
Other helpful bits of advice: leave no trash behind, be game to try everything, and just focus on having a good time. Remember that you’re at the beach to refresh and not feel stressed! It’s all in the mind.
