Canyon de Boracay

The Resort & Setting

Canyon de Boracay is built into a natural ridge on the mainland side of Boracay, in Sitio Sinagpa along the Boracay Main Road in Malay. The "canyon" in the name refers to the cliff-and-ravine landscape the property is carved into, which gives the resort a different feel from the beachfront hotels most visitors picture when they think of Boracay. It's an independent property affiliated with the RCI exchange network, which matters if you're an owner who likes the option to trade your week for stays at other RCI resorts rather than using it every year. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 from a small but consistent pool of 23 reviews, generally praising the setting and the quiet, away-from-the-crowds atmosphere.

The Area & Things to Do

Malay is the municipality that governs Boracay Island, and while Canyon de Boracay itself isn't on the famous White Beach strip, owners and renters typically use their week as a base for exploring the whole island. White Beach, Stations 1 to 3, is the main draw for swimming, sunset-watching and the bulk of restaurants and bars. Puka Beach on the island's north side is quieter and known for its shell-strewn sand. Boracay's cliff-diving spots, island-hopping boat trips to nearby reefs, and the D'Mall shopping and dining strip are all easily reached by tricycle or habal-habal motorbike taxi from most points on the island. Because Canyon de Boracay sits off the main tourist stretch, it tends to suit owners and renters who want a calmer stay with the option to head into the busier parts of Boracay when they feel like it.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Canyon de Boracay and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or as a rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of interested buyers.

Because this is an independent resort, resale transfers go through Canyon de Boracay's own owners' association or management office rather than through a branded timeshare company's resale desk. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee will be for the coming year, since these figures aren't published and change over time. Ask too whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as many independently run timeshare properties do — this can affect how quickly a sale closes. A buyer taking over your week should expect to receive the usage rights and RCI exchange affiliation tied to the unit, but not necessarily any point balances, banked weeks, or benefits specific to your ownership history, so it's worth being upfront about exactly what is and isn't included.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters interested in a week at Canyon de Boracay are usually looking for Boracay access without full beachfront pricing, so be clear in your listing about the unit size, view, and how far it is from White Beach by tricycle. Buyers evaluating a resale week will want to know the maintenance fee history, whether the week is fixed or floating, and the RCI affiliation status, so having that paperwork ready from the resort speeds up the process considerably.
