Cafe Maruja – Station 3, Boracay: Brunch & Beachfront Chill 🌴☕

Nestled right on the white-sand beachfront of Station 3 on White Beach, Boracay, Cafe Maruja offers a laid-back yet stylish vibe that perfectly blends beachside ease with café creativity. With palm umbrellas, beanbags on the sand, open-air loungers facing the water, and indoor air-conditioned seating with giant windows, you’ll get both tropical breeze and comfort as the sun sets. ⸻ Food & pricing up-close The menu here leaps beyond the usual café fare—expect everything from smoothie bowls and avocado toasts to artisan pizzas and freak shakes—all beautifully plated and Instagram-worthy. Pricing gives you a good benchmark: • Nutella Oreo Mallow Bomb – ≈ ₱ 355  • Avocado Toast – ≈ ₱ 415  • Maruja House Burger – ≈ ₱ 460  • Buddha Bowls / Smoothie Bowls – ≈ ₱ 365–635 depending on ingredients  • General main dish range: ₱ 350–₱ 700+  Drinks are similarly creative—try the “Mermaid Latte” or oversized Freak Shake for a fun twist. The food and drink quality match the setting: fresh, tropical, a little indulgent, and perfect for a slow brunch or relaxed afternoon by the sea. ⸻ Ambience & view With its beachfront seating you’ll dine with your toes almost in the sand, waves gently rolling by and palm-leaf shadows shifting overhead. The interior is light, with tropical décor, textured wood, pastel accents, and cozy nooks. For remote-work vibe: yes, they offer Wi-Fi and many outlets inside.  Sunset turns it golden, background chatter softens, and the whole place becomes mellow. ⸻ Address & hours 📍 Address: Station 3 Beachfront, Casa Pilar Beach Resort, Malay, 5608 Aklan, Philippines.  🕒 Hours: Daily from approximately 7:30 AM – 12:00 AM (midnight).  ⸻ Reasons to Visit • To enjoy a beachfront brunch or coffee with full water views and the sound of waves — a rare combo. • For the creative menu and presentation — whether it’s a superfood bowl, vegan burger, or a freak shake, the dishes are photo-ready and tasty. • If you want a relaxed workspace or hangout spot — comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, and a calm beach atmosphere make it ideal. • Because the setting and price feel fair for what you get: good portion sizes, island view, and quality across both food and drinks. In short, Cafe Maruja is more than just a café—it’s a little island escape where you can eat, sip, work, relax and watch the sunset fade into pink skies. 🌺✨

Bulabog Beach

Savor the calm vibes at Bulabog Beach, Boracay 🌅🌴 Nestled on the island’s quieter eastern side, this laid-back stretch offers a peaceful escape for travelers needing to slow down and soak up the serene waters, soft sand, and natural beauty. Start your day with a gentle stroll along Bulabog’s wide beachfront—early mornings are especially tranquil here, perfect for unplugging and breathing in the salty air. Find a quiet spot to lay out your towel and let the gentle breeze lull you into total relaxation. Unlike crowded White Beach, Bulabog is ideal for reading, meditating, or enjoying a slow picnic lunch. The water is calm in summer—wade in for a refreshing dip or just float at the edge, gazing at kite surfers gliding offshore (prime season: November to April). For photo lovers, the sunrise at Bulabog is unmissable—the pastel skies reflect serenely off the water for truly Insta-worthy shots. Head to the far north end, where palm trees frame the sun’s glow for magazine-quality beach snaps. Practical tips: Bring snacks and water—local beach stalls are sparse. There’s hardly any shade, so a hat or umbrella is invaluable! The sand gets hot mid-day, making flip-flops a must. Bulabog is open 24/7, so you can pick your best peaceful pocket of time; early evening is beautifully hushed, too. Key precautions: The kite season (Nov–Apr) draws more activity, so for absolute quiet, visit outside these months. Always check weather updates; ocean currents vary. #Boracay #BulabogBeach #SlowTravel #BeachVibes #Philippines
