In a ceremony held in London on 3 November 2025, Fairways & Bluewater Boracay was named a top finalist for Best Value Experience Property across Asia, the Middle East and Oceania at the 2026 Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence. This marks the fifth time since 2022 that the resort has received this prestigious recognition, placing it alongside the world’s most respected international hotel brands.

Now in its 43rd year, Condé Nast Johansens is regarded as one of the most trusted authorities in luxury travel, curating just 300 exceptional hotels, resorts and spas across 60 countries.

A Decade of Excellence at the World Golf Awards

Further strengthening its global standing, Fairways & Bluewater Boracay was crowned the Philippines’ Best Golf Hotel at the World Golf Awards in Madeira, Portugal on 13 November 2025.

Adding to its accolades, Booking.com recognised Fairways & Bluewater as the number one resort in Southeast Asia, a title it has held proudly since 2024. This recognition places the resort ahead of some of the region’s most established luxury properties and reflects consistent excellence across service, facilities and guest satisfaction.

The resort has also received Guest Review Awards from leading travel platforms including Agoda and Expedia, based entirely on verified traveller feedback. These awards underscore Fairways & Bluewater’s warm Filipino hospitality, reliability and consistently high standards.

A Sustainable Island Sanctuary in Boracay

Set across 80 hectares, Fairways & Bluewater Boracay is a multi-awarded, eco-friendly and family-oriented resort offering a full-service, secure and all-inclusive experience. The property features more than 850 rooms and suites across 25 villas, seven swimming pools including the iconic Ventana Infinity Pool overlooking the Sibuyan Sea, and more than 20 dining outlets showcasing both local and international cuisine.

At the heart of the resort is its 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course designed by Australian golf legend Graham Marsh. Known for its balance of technical challenge and natural beauty, the course continues to host prestigious international and corporate tournaments. Ongoing upgrades, including new electric golf carts, a revitalised pro shop and a dedicated turf nursery, ensure world-class playing conditions year-round.

Innovation, Wellness and Experiences for All Ages

Fairways & Bluewater continues to evolve, introducing new lifestyle facilities designed to enhance every stay. Recent additions include pickleball, badminton and basketball courts, a handcrafted gelato bar, and White Barn Brewing Co., the resort’s own craft brewery and gastropub producing island-inspired beers.

These enhancements complement existing offerings that cater to couples, families and golfers alike, creating an environment where relaxation, recreation and connection come together seamlessly.

Sustainability remains a cornerstone of Fairways & Bluewater’s long-term vision. The resort pioneered Boracay’s War-on-Waste programme and maintains partnerships with WWF Philippines and HOPE-in-a-Bottle to reduce plastic use and support education initiatives nationwide.

It is also the first and only resort on Boracay to hold Triple ISO-IMS Certification for Quality Management, Environmental Management, and Occupational Health and Safety. Beyond environmental initiatives, the resort actively supports the local community through sustainable employment and partnerships with local producers, artisans and tour operators.

Luxury with Heart and Purpose

From its Filipino roots to its global acclaim, Fairways & Bluewater Boracay continues to demonstrate that luxury experiences can be both accessible and meaningful. Its ongoing recognition from Condé Nast Johansens, World Golf Awards and international booking platforms affirms a clear philosophy: world-class hospitality is defined not just by grandeur, but by value, sincerity and purpose.

As the resort looks ahead to new lifestyle concepts, wellness enhancements and dining experiences, it remains guided by the same mission that has shaped its success for decades: to create moments that matter, inspired by the warmth and pride of Filipino hospitality.
