Aroma Beach calls itself the Hidden Paradise in Aklan, and for good reason: it’s a great place for swimming and relaxing. Choose between swimming in the sea or taking a dip in the resort's crowd-favorite saltwater pool. Visitors often praise this beach for its relaxing vibe, so we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to do an off-the-grid retreat by this beach this summer.

Wasak-Wasak Beach

Wasak-Wasak Beach in Buruanga is one of the more low-key white-sand beaches in Aklan, so you can be sure it’s never as crowded as Boracay. You’ll find spots to play volleyball, lounge around by the water, and, of course, snap a few new photos for your Instagram. There are also plenty of hotels near the beach, and we hear you can get a pretty stunning view of the sunrise and sunset from the coast.

Located just 30 minutes from Caticlan Airport, Tuburan Cove Beach Resort shares Boracay's clear blue waters and white sand but with fewer crowds. Tucked in a secluded cove, this boutique retreat enjoys a 200-meter stretch of pristine white sand—ideal for travelers who just want to laze by the shore for their entire vacation. Twelve cozy rooms sit amidst tropical gardens, while the infinity pool offers a great spot to soak up the sun. Snorkeling, hiking, and caving are also available.

Lambingan Beach

Andagao, Kalibo, Aklan

This public beach in the capital of Aklan is well-known because of its proximity to Kalibo International Airport. The area was developed by the local government in 2010 and now offers cottages where you can have a picnic with your family or friends. It's not exactly a white-sand beach, but it's a must-see for migratory birds—like barn swallow birds—that fly into this town every summer.

Nasog Beach

Bel-is, Buruanga, Aklan

Nasog Beach has a wonderfully laid-back vibe, reminiscent of a time when Boracay was just as peaceful. It’s the perfect spot to lounge back and enjoy the ocean breeze. You can even climb nearby spots along the shore to get an elevated view of the sea—you’ll want your cameras ready for sunset!

Langka Beach

Bel-is, Buruanga, Aklan

Right next to Nasog Beach is the equally beautiful but lesser-known Langka Beach. It's off-the-beaten path, which means you can have the beach practically all to yourself, even during the summer. At low tide, you can get a glimpse of Buruanga's rich marine life, including sea cucumbers, sea urchin, and colorful schools of fish, even without snorkeling or diving. 

Hinugtan Beach

Jawili Beach

Baybay Beach

Baybay, Tangalan, Aklan

While Baybay is not your typical fine white-sand beach, it still offers much to do and see. For starters, the fresh seafood at the local restaurants and eateries are worth the trip. You and your group can also hang out in the bamboo huts for some peace and quiet, or hop on a kayak for a water adventure. No matter what you decide to do here, you'll be treated to glittering views of the unbelievably blue sea.
