Dining
Discovery Boracay’s five restaurants and bars offer breezy beachfront dining. Sample innovative seasonal cuisine at Indigo, dine on global favorites at Sands, and savor classic Italian dishes at Forno Osteria. For casual eats and cocktails, head to Platitos and Sandbar.
Indigo – Open for lunch and dinner, choose a table on the sand or dine indoors. The seasonal menu highlights the bounties of land and sea – try the roasted mud crabs or Angus rib eye – alongside a curated selection of New and Old World wines.
Sands – Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast by the sea at this restaurant with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that let the sea breeze waft in. At lunch or dinner, choose from themed buffets and à la carte Filipino and international fare, including dishes such as taro leaves in sweet coconut cream, lemongrass, and ginger.
Platitos – Drift down to this beach bar for sundowners and Mediterranean-style tapas. Recline on oversized cushions scattered on the sand while you sip tropical cocktails and nibble on olives and charcuterie.
Sandbar – After a day of sun and sea, gather for the daily happy hour. Settle into a lounge chair or nab a spot at the bar, marveling at the pink-hued sunset as you sip a refreshing margarita or mojito.
Forno Osteria – Head to this casual Italian restaurant for homemade pastas and wood-fired pizzas, perfectly paired with wines from the extensive list.
Activities at Discovery Boracay
Bask in the sun as the breeze rustles through the coconut palms, go swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, and swim in the pool, whirlpool, or swim-up bar. Unwind at the Terra Wellness Spa, with treatments such as moisturizing facials and sea salt scrubs, and keep in shape at the fitness center. For babies and kids aged up to 12, the Sandbox has daily activities such as painting and cooking lessons.
Outside of the resort, try your hand at parasailing and windsurfing at Bulabog Beach; go snorkeling at coral-fringed Tambisaan Beach; or rent a sailboat at White Beach to explore the island’s coves. Tee off at the Fairways & Bluewater 18-hole golf course, and admire the stunning views from the Mount Luho viewing deck.
Location
On the west coast of Boracay Island, Discovery Boracay is on the northern tip of White Beach, one of the island’s most idyllic beaches. Here, restaurants, bars, and shops occupy the stretch of sand, with picturesque paraws (outrigger sailboats) bobbing offshore.

Excellent service

Ended our 5 month Southeast Asia trip with a flourish at this resort. Best service we had from everybody. Spacious airy room with comfortable bed and twice daily cleaning. Housekeeping “gems” as they called themselves brought nightly treats as well as handwritten inspiring messages and crafty towel sculptures. Everything felt personalized and we really appreciated the special spread for our first and last nights. Luckily the rooftop bar was open after a recent renovation and it was the perfect spot for sunset during happy hour. Jigs at the beachfront who was always with a smile made sure we were comfortable and our sunglasses were clean. Francis at the Sandbar concocted the best cocktails. Little touches like the team with cooling sprays, cucumber slices for the eyes, etc were just an example of the many thoughtful perks. Airport transfers were seamless. Highly recommend this resort!
I will miss Discovery Shores and can’t wait to be back again. ☺️

Discovery Shores is the hotel that you will keep on going back to. You will feel that there’s personal touch in all their services. I appreciated all the little things that my family experienced. Very early check in, checking in inside your room, foot massage, am and afternoon snacks, refreshers and snack again in between, cleaning your shades, sand art, am and pm cleaning up rooms and snacks again - everything for free. I will commend and will not forget the service of Dior and JJ from front desk, Marianne, Bless and the guy manager but forgot to get the name who offered the champorado to my son even not available during breakfast. Ernest, Ralph and another guy who looks like Ernest forgot to get his name too. Cris from Security and the other guy with him from Security. Lara from guest services. Rea, Mary, Jen, Ranz, liz, Leigh and Junar from housekeeping. If you need something that needed attention, they are ALL there right away. All staff will provide their services above and beyond. I will miss Discovery Shores and can’t wait to be back again. ☺️
A Relaxing Stay in Paradise

Discovery Boracay has a way of making you regret that you only booked for a short period of time. It has a way of making you feel sad that your vacation is over and that you have to leave. We stayed here for 5 days and our stay was as amazing as expected. The room/facility was perfect, food was sumptuous, shoreline was breathtaking, service was impeccable - Rowel in the poolside bar, Jiggs in the beachfront, OJT Karen in our breakfast buffet and the Housekeeping Gems (these are just some of the names that we remembered but everyone was awesome!) - thanks to all of you for making our vacation relaxing and memorable! Until next time! <3
Great for Corporate Events!

This is the first time I've gone back to Boracay since 2007 and I've been comoletely impressed by the standard of service Discovery Boracay offers. We traveled with American guests and they said the breakfast buffet is the best they've had by far. The hotel ensures the we have comfiest and most relaxing stay. I really felt the heart and care from each of the staffa dn employees.
