A White Beach resort where small weddings can take over a private rooftop lounge.
The Setting
Discovery Shores Boracay, which now trades as Discovery Boracay, sits on White Beach at Station 1, in Balabag on Boracay Island in Aklan. It is a resort of 99 rooms and suites, with six restaurants and bars, a large pool and a spa.
Its trump card is the 360 Roof Lounge, up in the cluster that holds the 11 Signature Suites, with a heated infinity pool, a Jacuzzi, hammocks, a dedicated butler and views right round the island. Book all 11 suites and the lounge becomes your private space for a small wedding or the party after it.
The day itself
The resort names two ceremony spots: the Clubhouse Deck looking out over the beach and the Wishing Stone, and most weddings here have White Beach as the backdrop. There are three set menu packages and four buffet packages, all offered year round.
For a small group, the 360 Roof Lounge works for an intimate wedding or a sunset drinks party when you book all 11 Signature Suites. Ask the team about reception venues, guest numbers, the music curfew and how a legal ceremony works for UK couples in the Philippines.
Where your guests stay
Suites start at around 40 to 45 square metres, and the larger ones add a living and dining area, a balcony and a private Jacuzzi. For a bigger guest list, ask the team about holding rooms and nearby options along White Beach.
There are watersports, a spa and a kids' playroom. UK guests usually connect through Manila, then take a flight of about 45 minutes to Caticlan, where return transfers are free for resort guests, with a shuttle to the port and a private boat across. Kalibo is the alternative, about two hours by road from Caticlan.
Book all 11 Signature Suites for your closest group. The 360 Roof Lounge then becomes yours, with views all the way round for after-ceremony drinks at sunset.
