Even if your companion is not a martial artist, they will have plenty to enjoy, from relaxing on the private beach and indulging in spa treatments to exploring the island, joining group activities, and experiencing Boracay’s world-class nightlife.

The official currency in the Philippines is the Philippine Peso (PHP). While some major hotels and businesses accept credit cards and USD, most local establishments, markets, and transportation services only accept pesos. We recommend exchanging some cash upon arrival or using ATMs, which are widely available in Manila and Boracay.

One of the great advantages of visiting the Philippines is that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries. Your money will go much further, allowing you to enjoy high-quality dining, activities, and services at a fraction of the price you might pay elsewhere. For example:

• A local meal can cost around $3 to $7 USD.

• A mid-range restaurant meal might be $10 to $15 USD per person.

• A massage by the beach is around $10 to $20 USD for a full hour.

• Transportation, souvenirs, and other services are also very affordable.

Bringing some small bills for tipping and small purchases is recommended, as many places may not have change for large denominations. ATMs and money exchange centers are available, but having some pesos on hand is always good for convenience.
