Boracay’s quieter affordable cousin

Reflecting on my recent trip to Hinugtan Beach in Buruanga, Aklan, I'm reminded why I often choose this hidden gem over Boracay. While Boracay boasts its vibrant energy, Hinugtan offers a serene escape with its pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters. The peacefulness and the feeling of having the beach almost entirely to myself (especially on weekdays) is simply unparalleled. The quality of the sand rivals Boracay's, but with significantly fewer crowds, Hinugtan allows for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. It's a reminder that true paradise can be found in unexpected places. #travelphilippines #beachlife #buruanga #boracay
