The Sky Pool
At Mandarin Nest Boracay, a trip to the island is about having the space to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy Boracay at your own pace. Located along Station 2’s beachfront, the resort combines comfortable accommodations, dining, and activities suited for family vacations, barkada trips, reunions, and group getaways.
Mandarin Nest offers 77 tropical-inspired rooms, including accommodations designed for families and larger groups. Options range from rooms for smaller parties to the Premier Family with Daybed, One Bedroom Premier, and Two Bedroom Premier, which can accommodate up to eight adults and two children. With everyone staying under one roof, there is more room for the easy, unplanned moments that come with traveling together—from slow mornings and shared meals to winding down after a day at the beach.
The Hakuna Matata Boracay
For dining, the resort’s Hakuna Matata Boracay offers group-friendly options such as the Boodle Boat Feast, available in Seafood, All-Meat, and Combo selections. For something more casual, guests can order favorites like the Lava Cheese Burger and Hakuna Pizza. With the beach just outside, even simple occasions have a fitting backdrop. Birthdays, reunions, and casual get-togethers naturally become part of the Boracay experience.
For guests celebrating something special, Mandarin Nest offers occasion setups, welcome treats, and turndown service. The fully air-conditioned Sky Bar can accommodate up to 100 guests for larger celebrations, while the Function Room can host up to 30 guests for more intimate gatherings.

Group trips also come with different ways to spend the day. Kids can enjoy the Kids Play Area, while others can work out at the Fitness Area or take a break at the Sky Pool. Guests can also enjoy complimentary afternoon treats through Pamahaw sa Nest, along with a 15-minute foot massage. In the evening, the Mandarin Nest Sunset Dancers add music and entertainment to the end of the day.
One of the advantages of traveling as a group is not having to do everything together. Some might head to the pool, others might stay in for a while, and everyone can come back together for a meal or sunset. There is room for both shared plans and individual downtime.
That balance is what makes a group getaway work. It is the meal that takes longer than expected, the conversations between activities, the decision to stay by the pool a little longer, or an impromptu sunset stop before heading back to the resort.
At Mandarin Nest, families, friends, reunions, and groups have a place to eat, celebrate, relax, and spend time together—without having to fill every moment of the trip with plans. In Boracay, sometimes a good stay is simply one that leaves enough time to enjoy the company you came with.
