Michelin hotel in Boracay

The Lind Boracay is using its Michelin Guide listing to push harder into food, starting with a new Thai restaurant called Yím. (guide.michelin.com) (thelindhotels.com) The resort says it received its Michelin Guide recommendation in 2025, during its 10th year of operation, and is now framing dining as a bigger part of the guest experience at its Station 1 property on White Beach in Malay, Aklan. (teal.ph) (thelindhotels.com) Yím is positioned as a chef-led Thai concept, with indoor and outdoor seating, an open bar, and service hours listed from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on The Lind’s website. (thelindhotels.com) The Michelin recognition matters in part because Boracay is better known as a beach destination than a hotel-and-restaurant guide market. Michelin’s own hotel page lists The Lind Boracay on Boracay Island, giving the property an international booking signal that goes beyond local resort marketing. (guide.michelin.com) That shift is showing up in how the hotel describes itself in 2026. Recent coverage and the resort’s own offers page both emphasize food-and-beverage programming, including Yím, beach barbecue, pasta nights, cocktails, and room-and-dining bundles. (msn.com) (thelindhotels.com) The Lind is one of the larger upscale hotels on the island, with 119 rooms and suites ranging from 47 to 181 square meters, which gives it room to sell restaurants not just to overnight guests but also to outside diners. (thelindhotels.com) The property has been open for more than a decade and is the flagship for a wider hotel brand that now also markets properties in Coron and Siargao. Its Boracay address remains Station 1, the quieter northern stretch of White Beach that typically carries the island’s highest room rates. (thelindhotels.com 1) (thelindhotels.com 2) Independent travel coverage has described The Lind as Boracay’s only Michelin Guide-listed hotel, though Michelin’s hotel listing itself identifies the property rather than ranking it against every other hotel on the island. (philstar.com) (guide.michelin.com) For now, the clearest change is operational: The Lind is turning a guidebook credential into a destination-dining pitch, with Yím as the most visible new piece of that strategy.
