Highlights:
Boracay has long been the crown jewel of the Philippines' islands, famed for pure white sand and crystal clear water. Away from the crowds of the main tourist zones, Crimson Resort and Spa Boracay is a three-hectare private sanctuary where the "real world" feels like a distant memory, from the moment you land.
Whether you're tucked away in a room or suite with sweeping ocean vistas, or lounging in a beachfront villa with its own private plunge pool, the whole resort is five-star elegance meets tropical ease. With kids club, café, restaurant, bar and activities, you will never actually feel the need to leave!
Recently honoured with a 2025 Conde Nast Award, the signature breakfast buffet is less of a meal and more of a global culinary expedition. The Executive Chef prides himself on "unique finds" and Lincoln couldn't leave without trying the pumpkin corn rice porridge.
Adventurers can grab a kayak, paddleboard, or snorkel gear to explore the vibrant marine life just off the resort's private beach. With water so translucent, Lincoln just had to get amongst it. For the party animals, once a week the tranquil main pool area transforms into a huge family-friendly bubble bath where guests of all ages dance through giant clouds of foam. For something a little more 'zen', Lincoln headed to the fully equipped onsite Aum Spa for a relaxing massage.
While it might sound like somewhere you save for a special occasion, like an anniversary or a milestone birthday, Lincoln says "why wait"? Whether it's a girls' trip, a guys' getaway, or a solo escape to reset the clock, a stay at Crimson Resort Boracay is the sort of holiday bliss that can be enjoyed all year round.
