On October 1, Boracay island reopened its doors to local tourists after six months of lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although only 35 people visited the island on its reopening day, Department of Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat predicts that tourists from Metro Manila would come during the All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day long weekend.

If you wish to enjoy Boracay's famous white sand beach but still unsure where to stay, this list is for you. Check out these Instagram-worthy hotels.

If you frequent Boracay or follow travel bloggers, you've probably seen the Santorini-inspired exterior of Astoria Current. This hotel is a favorite among influencers.

But the hotel's exterior design is not its main draw, wait until you see its colorful and trendy rooms.

For only P4,500 per night, you can stay in one of the most spacious standard rooms on the island complete with a 32-inch TV.

Boracay is not only known for its white sand beach but also for its nightlife. While some hotels prohibit drinking in the pool, Hue Boracay actually does the opposite by encouraging their guests to sip their cocktails at the pool bar.

Although the hotel is not located along Borcay's famous beachfront, it's still a perfect place to hang out in especially for gastronomical adventures. The famous Station X with its trendy restaurants and cafes, is located inside the property.

Staying at Hue Boracay costs around P3,000 per night with complimentary breakfast for 2. If you wish to stay here, make sure to visit their social media sites because rooms run out fast.

Travelers have probably heard of Two Seasons Boracay Resort because of the famous and delicious four-cheese pizza its restaurant offers. But the hotel has something more to offer---the rooms.

Two Seasons' 34 rooms and suites feature a blend of tropical urban and Zen minimalist designs. Since the resort has a limited number of rooms compared to other hotels, you can make sure that your stay in Boracay would be peaceful and intimate.

A standard room at Two Seasons Boracay Resort costs P7,000 per night with flat-screen cable TV and hot and cold showers.

Although Boracay opened its doors to local tourists, there are still requirements you need to secure before you can enter the island.
