Kitesurfing Holidays To Boracay
The beautiful island of Boracay is located around 300km south of Manila, accessed by internal flight plus a 30-60 minute transfer. The Island has won numerous awards in prestigious travel magazines for its stunning beaches. The windward side of the island is quite quiet, with just a few hotels, and the main focus of the kitesurfing in the wind season from November to April. Around a 10-15 minute walk the other side of the island is where you will find numerous good quality hotels and beach bars, this side can be very busy.
Boracay makes for a fantastic holiday destination as it offers the rare combination of stunning beaches, relatively quiet on the kitesurfing side (with protected lagoon for beginners and improvers), but then great nightlife and atmosphere close by when you want it. This combination makes Boracay a good choice for both a dedicated kitesurf holiday but also with enough to satisfy any non-kitesurfing partner or family.
Planet offer a unique combination of luxury accommodation on Boracay together with tailor made tour add-ons taking you to a selection of locations encompassing the very best that The Philippines has to offer.
The Windsurf Spots On Boracay
On Boracay there are 2 principal beaches; White Beach and Bulabog Beach. Bulabog Beach is dedicated to windsurfers and kitesurfers with a perfect lagoon for beginner and improvers. An outer reef protects the lagoon where there are waves for the very experienced.
In side the lagoon the bottom is a mixture of sand, sea grass and some rocks, you may come across sea urchins. The lagoon is largely shallow and flat at low tide, perfect for blasting and freestyling. At higher tides more choppy. On some occasions a combination of strong winds and high tide can bring swells into the lagoon for some fun port tack jumping. At very low spring tides fins size for windsurfers may be a considered.
The Wind Season In Boracay
The windy season runs from November to April, when the NE trade winds blow consistently throughout the whole day, making Boracay a perfect winter getaway for those looking for an idyllic beautiful location with fantastic hotels.

Our top recommended hotels across Philippines — on and off the water — perfect to weave into a tailor-made tour with your Boracay stay.
We lose sleep so you don’t.
We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.
Talk to a Kitesurf travel expert — not a call centre.
