This 10-square-mile hotspot was named the best island in the world by Travel + Leisure magazine thanks to its white sand beaches, world-class coral and shipwreck diving, and a reputation for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. But before we can put feel the sand in our toes, we have to get there—and that means leaving our current paradise behind. Besides being known for its white sand beaches, coral reefs, shipwrecks, and nightlife, this tiny, 10 square mile island is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. That helps explain the modern and luxurious resorts that dominate the coasts. In addition to the Travel + Leisure review, Boracay made the magazine’s Readers Choice top list. It was also at the top of the "Best Islands in the World" list by Condé Nast Traveler and headed that magazine's list of "Top 10 destinations to watch.” Contents: 0:00 Intro 0:47 Leaving Palawan 3:22 Arriving in Caticlan + Boracay Island 4:40 Checking into Shangri-La Resort 8:03 Dinner at a Treetop restaurant 10:53 Poolside lunch 14:55 Beach time! 15:56 Our first tourist trap 17:43 Venturing into town for dinner on White Beach 20:40 Conclusion @TourismPhilippines @philippines_tpb Learn more about how we stay in multi-million dollar homes around the world for a low, flat monthly subscription and no nightly rates, taxes, or hidden fees. https://followabc.com/pass If you want to send us something, please email merch@followabc.com and we'll provide our mailing address.

ABOUT US. We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week—from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure. Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline—it’s just the new, global way of life. Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again. We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.
