Tawhay Boracay Resort Condominiums
HAILED AS one the best beaches in the world, Boracay Island continues to lure beach-loving tourists to its sun bleached shores of sugar-fine white sands year after year. This island, found off the northwestern tip of Panay, is blessed with rich marine and tropical attractions that have spurned the growth of highly commercialized tourism in the area. At present, hundreds of resorts and commercial establishment have sprouted in various parts of the island—most of which can be found along the magnificent four-kilometer stretch of its famed White Beach on its western side.Unfortunately, due to its diversity and phenomenal success as a tropical island, Boracay Island has somewhat abandoned the image of being a peaceful and truly relaxing destination it was known for when it was still a secret paradise known only to a few a couple of decades ago.Seeing the need to revive the tranquil image of Boracay Island, Tawhay Resort Estate, Inc. has pursued resort condotel development embracing this philosophy.
