Boracay has just been named as one of New York Times' 44 Places to Go in 2009:

The next Phuket? The island jewel of Boracay — known for its emerald water, white sand beaches and glassy lagoons — may be just that. Less than an hour from Manila by plane, this small, four-mile-long island has long been a destination for wealthy Filipinos. Now, a new breed of South Beach-style hotels is broadening the island's appeal. The Tides, a chic boutique hotel, has quickly become the pool-and-party spot for the Philippine jet set. And later this year, a Shangri-La hotel opens with 219 rooms and villas and a 61,000-square-foot spa on a private bay.

While certainly a generally good recommendation, Boracay is certainly more than just another great beach.  There are many other activities available.  Come and discover Boracay and recharge those city batteries with a bit of fresh Boracay air!
