Bans Beach Resort

An institution since 1985, Bans Beach Resort commands a prime position along the powder-white sands of Station 1, Boracay's western edge. Guests are immediately welcomed by a warm blend of traditional Filipino design and modern comfort, as the lobby exudes a relaxed elegance. Adorned with vibrant local art and handcrafted furnishings, the space invites you to decompress as you take in panoramic views of the azure sea through floor-to-ceiling windows. As your senses linger on the subtle salty breeze, the resort's intimate collection of 6 Nipa hut cottages and 8 hotel rooms provide a respite for both couples and families alike, boasting air-conditioned interiors, flat-screen TVs, and private terraces that extend the outdoors right into your personal space. The jewel in Bans' crown is its beachfront dining, where you can savor freshly caught seafood while watching the sun descend into a kaleidoscope of colors over the horizon.

Explore the Local Area

Positioned just steps away from Boracay's beloved D'mall and the picturesque Willy's Rock, Bans Beach Resort is a gateway to the island's finest offerings. For those yearning to explore, the Dead Forest and Bulabog Beach are merely a short stroll away, while the vibrancy of local shops and eateries is all within a few minutes' walk. Multiple transport options are available; jeepneys and non-air-conditioned buses offer budget-friendly travel to Kalibo, just 10 km away, with the journey taking approximately 1-2 hours. For beachgoers, the resort's proximity to both the crystal-clear ocean and myriad outdoor adventures - from snorkeling to spa indulgences - makes it an ideal base for all island activities.

Room Information

Bans Beach Resort features a total of 17 rooms, including 6 Nipa hut cottages and 11 hotel rooms, spanning a variety of sizes. Rooms range from cozy 200 sq ft doubles with garden views to spacious quadruple configurations, comfortably accommodating families or groups. Every guestroom comes equipped with standard amenities such as air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and terraces that connect you to the surrounding natural beauty.

Room Upgrades

For those seeking added space and privacy, the superior rooms start at 250 sq ft with plush seating areas and upgraded amenities. Larger family suites, which can host up to four guests, unfold over 350 sq ft; they boast views of the serene gardens. All upgraded room types feature enhanced furnishings, electric kettles, and ensure seamless comfort, inviting relaxation after a day of indulgence on the island.

“Moments from the beach, this place offers a quiet retreat without sacrificing convenience. I noticed it has clean, comfortable rooms, complete with a fridge and TV. I think the friendly, helpful staff really elevate the experience.”
