Fairways is the only resort in the island of Boracay, Philippines that has a golf course. The golf course is a 72-par, 18-hole course that showcases a fantastic and majestic view of the mountains, the Sibuyan Sea, and the nearby islands in the Malay, Aklan Region of the Philippines. In an article published by a reputable Philippine news organization, Inquirer.Net, Fairways & Bluewater was described as a place where “Golf enthusiasts also enjoy the resort’s offerings which complete their golfing experience. Members can unwind at the Members’ Lounge Café or enjoy snacks at tee-house bars conveniently located in the front-9 and back-9 of the golf course. A new golf pro-shop offers high-end apparel and accessories, and thirty new electric golf carts have been added to accommodate growing demand. To maintain the world-class, championship quality of the Graham Marsh-designed all-weather golf course, Fairways & Bluewater invested in the rehabilitation of the golf course, importation of golf tractor maintenance equipment and is constructing its own turf nursery. The resort has also partnered with the National Golf Association of the Philippines to conduct a course rating, ensuring that golfers’ registered handicaps are recognized globally”. https://business.inquirer.net/497698/fairways-bluewaters-brand-their-key-to-success?fbclid=IwY2xjawMwVAdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHqn7XjheY057CFs0qlNEmCqlCT-WcD7pijLhwPwNhB9SdLRRPmvD2F-WxyCa_aem_GL9uc0AisvyuSDu0Q6glBQ#ixzz8vfUrqh8F

Fairways & Bluewater Resort Golf & Country Club, as reflected in a publication of GMA News Online, a subsidiary of a prominent Broadcasting Network in the Philippines, “…is a massive 80-hectare eco-friendly, sustainable multi-awarded resort paradise in a gated, self-contained, secure, private, and exclusive resort complex in Boracay Island. This huge resort complex in the island features over 850 well-appointed spacious guestrooms categorized into 18 room types, spread across more than 20 villas, each with a distinct element — some showcase modern contemporary lifestyle, while other rooms are set in old-fashioned, and charming villas that are set in a tropical island location, giving guests a more serene and relaxing paradise vacation experience, and their much-needed privacy. The resort is packed with a wide array of world-class amenities and facilities that were purposefully designed and carefully crafted to deliver a most ideal vacation experience at an affordable and accessible price point — a vacation that will be etched in the memory of both local and foreign travelers for a long time, if not a lifetime. Roads are expanded and illuminated, with eight stunning waterfalls added along the way, creating a fresh, nature-inspired vibe. Instagram-worthy neon-lit figures and signages have become guest favorites, adding to the resort’s charm.  The Forest Trek offers a scenic uphill climb leading to the Kudetah District, where guests can dine, party, and relax while enjoying views of the Sibuyan Sea. The Night Safari, a neon-light display of animals, is another fun way to reach Kudetah. Pool foam parties that happen four times in a week, billiard tables, gourmet coffee corners, and mini-pizzerias add excitement for guests. A gym, pickleball and badminton courts, sing-along lounge, gelato bar, souvenir shop, mini-convenience store, ATM, and foreign-exchange counter inside the resort completes the checklist of travellers’ wish list too. With its large fleet of vehicles and a 24/7 team of nurses, trained first-aiders, and SOPI-certified safety officers, Fairways & Bluewater ensures guests’ safety and comfort. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/cbb/content/910803/fairways-amp-bluewater-boracay-still-booking-com-s-1-most-booked-property-in-the-country-and-soars-to-the-top/story/

Fairways & Bluewater Boracay – International Travel Awards Nominee: Best Golf Resort

Boracay is world-famous for its beaches, but beyond the shoreline lies a destination that surprises even seasoned travelers. At Fairways & Bluewater Boracay, golf and island living come together in a way few places in the world can match.

At the center of it all is the resort’s 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Graham Marsh. With rolling fairways framed by tropical greenery and holes that open to panoramic views of the white sand beach, it offers both challenge and beauty. Professional players find the course demanding yet fair, while beginners appreciate the welcoming environment that encourages them to take part in the game.

But what makes Fairways & Bluewater Boracay unique, and worthy of recognition is that the golf experience doesn’t end when the round does.

More Than a Game

After a day on the course, guests step into an environment that extends the rhythm of play into pure relaxation. With over 20 pools scattered across the property, there’s always a spot to cool down. Infinity pools stretch toward the horizon, while quieter pools offer peaceful retreats.

The resort also gives guests access to private coves where Boracay’s white sand feels untouched and unhurried. Away from the busier stretches of the island, these beaches capture Boracay as it once was, serene, natural, and unforgettable.

Dining is an essential part of the experience, too. From hearty local flavors to international favorites, meals are prepared to suit every appetite and are best enjoyed with friends, family, or fellow golfers reflecting on the day’s play.

A Place for Every Kind of Guest

Fairways succeeds because it serves more than one type of traveler.

• Golfers come for the championship-standard course.
• Leisure seekers come for the pools, beaches, and dining.
• Families find balance, while some tee off, others enjoy everything else the resort has to offer.

This inclusivity is what makes the resort more than just a golf destination. It’s a complete stay that everyone can enjoy.

Setting a Standard

The International Travel Awards recognize destinations that go beyond expectations. Fairways & Bluewater Boracay fits this standard by offering more than a course, it offers a way of experiencing Boracay that combines sport, relaxation, and world-class hospitality.

For golfers, it’s a chance to play where the ocean is your backdrop. For non-golfers, it’s a chance to discover that Boracay has more to offer than beaches alone. Together, these elements create an experience that is both complete and distinctive.

Fairways & Bluewater Boracay – International Travel Awards Nominee: Best Island Resort

For decades, Boracay has been celebrated for its iconic White Beach. But the island is more than just one shoreline. At Fairways & Bluewater Boracay, guests discover a version of Boracay that goes beyond the expected.

The resort offers exclusive access to private coves where the sand is as white and fine as anywhere on the island, yet without the crowds. These hidden stretches give visitors the feeling of discovering Boracay for themselves, where the only sound is the surf and the breeze.

An Island Within the Island

Fairways & Bluewater Boracay is often described as a destination on its own. With over 20 pools, multiple restaurants, and wellness facilities, guests find that they can spend days inside the resort without ever running out of things to enjoy. Some prefer the energy of family-friendly pools, while others seek out quieter spots.

Dining also plays a big role in shaping the experience. Whether it’s fresh seafood grilled by the beach or international comfort food, meals at Fairways provide moments of connection after a day spent exploring or relaxing.

Why It Feels Different

What makes Fairways stand out is how it balances seclusion and accessibility. Guests enjoy privacy within the resort while still being close to Boracay’s vibrant energy when they want it. It offers the best of both worlds: quiet mornings by the pool and lively evenings just minutes away.

This combination, privacy, variety, and choice, is why so many return guests describe Fairways as the complete island experience.

A Nomination That Reflects Excellence

The International Travel Awards celebrate world-class destinations, and Fairways’ nomination for Best Island Resort reflects its ability to showcase Boracay in its fullest form. It’s not only about beaches or pools, but about creating a space where every type of traveler feels at home.

Fairways & Bluewater Boracay has achieved an unprecedented and record-breaking milestone as it claims a seat at the top of the hotel sector in Boracay, and makes an indelible mark in Philippine tourism as well. The homegrown proudly Filipino resort brand is well on its way to reach the pinnacle of the hospitality industry after it was confirmed as the #1 most booked property in Boracay and the entire Philippines since the beginning of 2023 up to this very day by Booking.com. Booking.com is the largest accommodation platform in the world with almost 17,000 listed accommodations in the Philippines alone. Considering that the global pandemic was just officially lifted in the Philippines in the middle part of year 2023, and that the Resort is also still going through rehabilitation and re-building projects as a result of the pandemic that severely affected everyone, especially in the tourism industry, raking-in the highest number of travelers in the Philippines from the largest hotel booking engine for nearly 2 years now is indeed an achievement to be celebrated!

Fairways & Bluewater Boracay’s journey to success and excellence is one for the books. From an exclusive property that was known to just a few, it is now a proudly Filipino homegrown world-class resort brand with a professionally run organization that is making its indelible mark both in the local and global tourism industry as evidenced by the multiple international awards, recognitions, and certifications it has been receiving.

December 2023 marks the 5th year of being the only resort in Boracay Island that has a triple ISO certification, as conferred by a Dubai-based certifying body. Fairways & Bluewater ends 2023 with a monumental success in completing yet another year of triple ISO certification despite the challenges and limitations. Catherine Marcelo, Fairways & Bluewater’s General Manager shares “It will be recalled that in December 2018, right after the 6-month closure of Boracay Island, Fairways & Bluewater made a historic feat when it got its certification for three ISO standards in one-swing when others would traditionally work on each standard separately. Fairways proudly holds certifications on ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health & Safety Management System) as confirmed through rigorous and strictly methodical quarterly internal audits and annual surveillance audits by the Dubai-based certifying body.” Ms. Marcelo adds “The passion of the Philippine government to strengthen the tourism industry and promote excellence in delivering the warm Filipino hospitality to the world without ever compromising the welfare of the environment and the health of the community is very much aligned with the advocacy of Fairways for environmental preservation and sustainability.”
