ISLAND DETAILS:
Area: 7 km long and 1 km wide
Location: Malay, Aklan, Philippines

"This itty-bitty island (just under four square miles) is as close to a tropical idyll as you’ll find in Southeast Asia, with gentle coastlines and made-for-Instagram sunsets. White Beach is Boracay’s main draw, with powdery white sand and shallow azure water ideal for swimming and snorkeling."
