Bahay Amihan, Boracay

Last summer, my boyfriend and I met half-way in Boracay. At first, it was so stressful for me to find a good hotel in Boracay since peak season is already at its "peak". I surfed the internet for good rates and needless to say, a cozy room. 


I stumbled upon a Bahay Amihan, mind you, it's not a hotel, it's a rest house owned by a Filipina. Tita Mercy, the owner is not just as kind as we thought to be. She and her staff really made out stay so worthwhile. 

Upon arrival at Jetty port, it was 6:00 AM then, I was nervous to see my boyfriend whom I haven't seen for a while. He was from Manila and I traveled 3 hours from Iloilo City. Thanks to the Van driver who cut my ride down to three hours because you know, from Iloilo City to Caticlan usually is a six-hour drive. What a difference, huh? Kudos! 


Well, we were really excited for the Boracay trip together. We've been here last summer for Alpha Phi Omega Biennia Convention, but the thrilling part was we planned a lot of activities this time. So, I called Tita Mercy to fetch us at the Jetty port since their house is not just at the beachfront, it's located in the mountain-side overseeing the sea and kite surfers. You see how excited we were. It's kinda different thing since I'm getting used to the beachfront and I've felt what it's like in there.

After 30 minutes of boat ride and 15 minutes land travel, we reached our destination... Bahay Amihan. I mean, I'm not anymore new to Boracay so our destination is Bahay Amihan.


We were greeted by melon shakes and the view of Sibuyan Sea and Bulabog Beach, oh so perfect! It was breathtaking! My heart beats faster! The house is newly built,five bedroom house on the cliff.  The three storey house has completely furnished kitchen , living area and dining room and with spacious terrace to gather around with your friends and family .

We can't resist taking a lot of photos of the view. There are a lot of windsurfers, kite surfers since Bulabog Beach is home for the Annual Southeast Asia Fun Board Cup.

Bahay Amihan is ideally suited for the whole family or big group of friends to have fun together .Here you can feel comfortable as you lounge on the spacious terrace facing the sea and having the fresh breeze of Amihan or Habagat. A relaxing place to stay with your family and friends just talk , play games , to read your book or watch all the kite surfers doing their tricks.

Tita Mercy allowed us what room to choose, generous! There's also a mini swimming pool just in front the room and a spacious terrace. Our room was so cozy more than what I had expected. 

In our first day, we hit the beach and indulged in various food. By the way, the House is 5-10  minute walk or 3 minute ride by the local taxi (called tricycle) to D'Mall de Boracay, Markets, Bars. It wasn't that far. Of course, since we were on the mountain side, we hired ATV's to reached the top of the mountain as we got to see the whole island. T'was an advantage, so we didn't miss the chance. 


After dinner, we bought some drinks at D'Mall, we sat for a while in the sand. It was not too late though so we decided to kill time. Our purpose was not really to party all night, but to be with each other. I was surprised when my boyfriend handed me a ring! I think, you know what happened then... =)

The next morning, the staff prepared breakfast for us after reef walking. Oops, the breakfast was included in the room rate and you can ask for extra rice. =)


The Staff was very helpful and will do all they can to make our stay comfortable, relaxing and most of all memorable, indeed.

There's no place like Home and this is your Home to spend holidays!
