Boracay Resorts Expand

Boracay’s resort brands are pushing into a bigger national footprint, with Crimson adding a second Michelin-listed Philippine property and The Lind planning new hotels in Coron and Siargao. (guide.michelin.com, thelindhotels.com) Crimson Resort & Spa Boracay is now listed in the Michelin Guide’s hotel selection, according to Michelin’s hotel page and a Malaya report published April 22, 2026. Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan was already in Michelin’s Philippine hotel lineup, giving the brand two recognized resorts in the country. (guide.michelin.com, guide.michelin.com, malaya.com.ph) Michelin’s current Philippines hotel page lists 25 properties, including The Lind Boracay, Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan, and the newly listed Crimson Resort and Spa, Boracay. Michelin separately launched its first Philippines restaurant guide on October 30, 2025, widening the brand’s presence in the local travel market. (guide.michelin.com, guide.michelin.com) The Lind Boracay said on April 21, 2026 that Coron is next and Siargao is “waiting in the wings,” as the company moves beyond its Station 1 base on White Beach. The brand’s own site now has live pages for both destinations, each labeled as opening in 2026. (sustainhealth.fit, thelindhotels.com, thelindhotels.com) Those moves place Boracay-born or Boracay-anchored brands in two of the Philippines’ busiest high-end island markets. Coron is a Palawan gateway for dive and island-hopping tourism, while Siargao has become a surf and leisure hub with a fast-growing luxury segment. (thelindhotels.com, thelindhotels.com, guide.michelin.com) For Crimson, the Michelin listing adds outside validation at a time when local operators are trying to stand out against global chains and large domestic groups. Malaya said the Boracay addition puts two of Crimson’s flagship resorts inside Michelin’s global hotel collection. (malaya.com.ph, guide.michelin.com) For The Lind, the expansion suggests Boracay is no longer the whole story. Its main site now markets Coron and Siargao alongside the flagship Boracay property, turning one beach resort brand into a three-island network on paper before the new hotels open. (thelindhotels.com, thelindhotels.com, thelindhotels.com) The immediate test is execution: Crimson has to convert recognition into bookings, and The Lind has to open two new island properties in 2026. Either way, the center of gravity for these brands is shifting from one Boracay address to a broader Philippine resort map. (guide.michelin.com, thelindhotels.com, thelindhotels.com)
