Welcome to our little piece of paradise.

Profile of the Resort

Fridays Boracay is a AAA accredited, self contained 40 native cottage-style rooms resort. We have a freshwater swimming pool, a beachfront bar, and a 120-seat capacity restaurant considered by many to be the finest in the island.

The rooms are in a garden setting arranged around a beach courtyard and the swimming pool. All rooms are distinctly native with Filipino styling – quaint yet with modern conveniences like split-type airconditioning, hot & cold potable water, DVDs, cable TV, IDD & NDD telephone, fully stocked mini bar, deluxe guestroom amenities, abaca slippers, evening turn-down services, native hammocks, individual Electronic Safety Deposit Box, and private verandah.

In 1982, the first two cottages of Fridays Boracay were built. The name “Fridays” comes from the story of Robinson Crusoe. Robinson was shipwrecked on a lost island and was surprised to meet a native young boy whom he named Friday after becoming his constant companion.

Resort Location

Fridays Boracay rests at the northern end of the four kilometers’ powder white sand beach which made the island famous.

How to get there

The most convenient way to reach Boracay is thirty-five minute flights of Zest Air or Seair to Caticlan. These airlines also fly from Cebu to Boracay in less than an hour.

Another alternative is to take Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific flights to Kalibo, and take an air-conditioned bus or private van to the private welcome center. The trip from Kalibo to Caticlan is about two hours.

Upon arrival, a Fridays' Transfer Officer will greet you at the airport and bring you to Fairways Private Welcome Center, a short trip of 200 meters. Our exclusive private 37' Cruiser Speedboat then takes you to the Cagban port in 4 minutes then by van to the resort. Ensure that you are wearing clothes and adequate footwear which will allow you to "walk in the water" from the beach to the boat or jetty port or vice-versa.

Depending on the weather condition, alternative routes will be used as specified by the Philippines Coast Guards like Tabon port to Fairways port at the back of the island where a Fridays van will wait for you and bring you to our resort.

For Kalibo transfers and airfare, please get in touch with our Reservation Officers.

On Arrival

Our staff welcomes you on the beach with shell necklace and quench-thirsting local lemon juice while our Transfer Officer will carry your luggage.

Standard check in time is 2:00pm while check out time is 12:00 noon. Should your rooms not be available upon your early arrival, you may leave your luggage at the reception, change into your bathing suits and start enjoying the sea or a hearty meal in our restaurant.
