FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
For pure rental yield and occupancy volume, Station 2 is the strongest performer on the island. It achieves the highest annual Airbnb occupancy (75–88%) thanks to its central location, beach access, and proximity to the island's F&B and services. It's the most liquid market and the easiest to manage remotely.
Studio to 2-bedroom condominiums within 300 metres of the beach consistently deliver the strongest returns. Look for buildings with resort amenities (pool, gym, reception), short-term rental compliance, and proven management companies operating in the building. BORACAYNAVI can identify these specifically.
The minimum realistic entry for a rentable property is approximately ₱12M for a studio condominium unit. To be competitive on Airbnb, budget for quality furnishing (₱300,000–₱600,000 additional). Near-beach villas start from approximately ₱30M.
Station 2 beachfront commercial spaces are among the most sought-after in the Philippines for F&B and retail operators. Rental yields for commercial properties leased to established restaurant or bar operators can be exceptional — however, prices are correspondingly high. This is a specialist investment requiring expert local knowledge.
