Foreign Ownership
of Boracay Property

Q: Can foreigners buy property in Boracay?

Foreign nationals cannot own land in the Philippines, but can own condominium units (up to 40% of a building) and structures built on leased land. Long-term leases (25–50 years, renewable) and Philippine corporations are common legal vehicles for foreign buyers. BORACAYNAVI provides full legal advisory for international purchases.

Can Foreigners Buy Property in Boracay?

Yes — Philippine law provides three clear ownership structures for foreign nationals. The key restriction is that foreigners cannot directly own land; however, building/villa ownership, condominium title ownership, and indirect land ownership through a Philippine corporation are all legally established and widely used.

BORACAYNAVI has guided buyers from Japan, Korea, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and across Europe through each of these structures. The right option depends on your property type, investment scale, and long-term goals.

3 Legal Ownership Structures

Condominium Direct Ownership

₱5M – ₱45M

Foreign nationals can own a condominium unit outright with a Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) in their name. This is the safest, simplest, and most liquid ownership structure available to foreigners.

Advantages

100% ownership in your name

Up to 40% of any building can be foreign-owned

Full Airbnb and rental rights

Eligible for capital gains on resale

No Philippine corporation required

Limitations

40% cap limits availability

Best For

First-time buyers, Airbnb investors, remote ownership

For Villas & Resorts

Long-Term Land Lease

Highly variable by location

Foreigners can lease land for an initial 25-year term, renewable for a further 25 years. The foreign buyer owns the building or villa constructed on the leased land outright — only the land is leased.

Own the villa structure 100%

Leasehold interest is transferable and resalable

Common structure for boutique resort investment

Philippine Corporation

Varies by structure

A Philippine corporation with at least 60% Filipino ownership can hold a full Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) for land. Foreign investors may hold up to 40% equity in the corporation.

Advantages

Corporation holds full land title (TCT)

Up to 40% foreign equity permitted
