There\u2019s no lack of choice in the types of spa rituals one can enjoy either. From head to toe, there\u2019s something from everyone \u2013 starting from Ayurvedic scalp treatments, to replenishing facials, body massages, scrubs and wraps, to foot reflexology, manicures, pedicures and more. Oh gloriously more.<\/p>\n

Boracay is famous for its kite surfing season (November to April), when conditions are ideal for beginners to learn, and experts to practice\u00a0more complicated tricks.
