Carabao Beach Resorts
Carabao island is like Boracay during the eighties-the same powdery sand, crystalline water, and the same laid-back vibe.

News and Update
‘New Boracay’ set to rise.
Construction of the airport is expected to start in October 2008, according to the Romblon Investment and Tourism Promotions Office. San Jose Mayor Filipino Tandog said that the Carabao Island tourism masterplan had 28 components, with the foreign consortium carrying out the 27 components. Boracay Property Holdings would build the airport component on the northern part of Carabao Island, but there was no assurance yet if the project would start next month.
