Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club Boracay

The Resort and Its Setting

Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club Boracay is a vacation ownership property on Boracay Island, in the province of Aklan. It's part of the Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club brand, a Philippine timeshare operator with a presence on the island aimed at members who want a dependable base for repeat beach holidays rather than a one-off hotel stay. The resort is affiliated with Interval International, which gives owners the option to deposit their week and exchange it for stays at other II-affiliated resorts around the world, instead of returning to Boracay every year.

Boracay: The Island and What to Do

Boracay has built its reputation on White Beach, a four-kilometre stretch of fine, powdery sand and calm, turquoise shallows lined with restaurants, bars and water sports operators — it's the obvious first stop for most visitors and a short distance from the resort. For a quieter pace, Diniwid Beach sits just north of White Beach and suits swimmers who'd rather skip the crowds, while Puka Beach on the island's northern tip is known for its shell-strewn sand and a slower, more secluded feel. Inland, the Boracay Butterfly Garden offers a break from the sea with a look at local butterfly species, and Mount Luho, the island's highest point, rewards the short climb with views over the coastline and a great spot for watching the sunset. Beyond the beaches, the island runs on tourism: island-hopping boats, diving and snorkelling trips, and a steady stream of restaurants and nightlife keep most visitors busy without much planning.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club Boracay can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to post the ad, and keep full control of negotiations — there's no commission taken from the sale. Interested buyers and renters contact you through the platform, so you deal directly with the people making offers rather than going through a broker.

Because Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club Boracay is managed by its own brand rather than sold through a large international timeshare chain, resale transfers are handled through the resort's owners' association or its management office, not through BidMyTimeshare.com. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published by the brand and can change, so get them in writing directly from the resort. It's also worth asking whether the association holds any right of first refusal on resale transactions, since some Philippine vacation clubs reserve that option before a transfer to a new owner can be completed.

A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights and the ongoing annual fee obligation for the week purchased, along with Interval International exchange eligibility if the membership is transferable — confirm this directly with the resort before listing, since exchange affiliation terms can vary between contracts.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Boracay runs on a dry season from roughly November to May, with December to February as the busiest and most expensive stretch — weeks during this window tend to attract the most rental interest, so list early if you want to catch peak-season demand. The shoulder months of October and May offer a calmer island with good weather and are worth highlighting to renters who prefer to avoid crowds. Access is via ferry from Caticlan port on Panay Island, which connects to domestic flights from Manila and Cebu — worth mentioning in any listing, since the full journey from Manila typically takes only one to two hours door to door.
