Boracay An Island Paradise

Quantum Hotels and Resorts Launches Beach Golf Vacations on Boracay Island, Philippines

Take a long look at the beach, coconut trees swaying, a good breeze blowing, the fine white powder that you stand upon does not burn your feet even though its 12 noon in the middle of sum­mer. Off in the distance, you see a squadron of kites propelling kite-boarders higher and higher into the air…Welcome to Boracay – a sporting paradise.

Boracay Island

Years ago, Boracay Island was a well-guard­ed secret, almost possessively so that only a few knew of its existence. It was only in the 70’s when, it is said, a foreign movie crew accidentally “discovered” this island paradise. Others maintain that it was the German traveller, Jens Peters’ book, which included rave reviews of Boracay that changed the island’s pace from that of being a quiet secret to eventually being voted as having the best beach in the world.

Whichever story is true, it was around this time that Boracay Island slowly ceased to be a private travelers hangout and even­tually became a favorite tourist destination in the Philippines. In a span of a mere 10 years, the whole world, it seemed, dis­covered Boracay and the once, nearly deserted stretch of beach became a preferred vacation and leisure spot for upscale tour­ists from all parts of the world.

If you thought you had seen luxury in golf courses before, then the exquisite location of Fairways & Blue-water will simply take your breath away. How many golf cours­es in the world can you have a round in the morning and watch the sun rise over the turquoise crystal clear water, then in the afternoon have another round of golf and watch the sun set, over the ocean giving off vibrant oranges and reds as the sun dips below the ocean horizon?

White Beach, touted as the “finest beach in the world.” The water surrounding the island is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches in the Philippine archipelago.
