Palassa Private Residences

Top choice in Boracay


When talented local artist Antonio Gelito San Jose Jr allowed this small, stylish hotel to be constructed on his land, he did so with the proviso that his beachfront art studio be incorporated into it. The owners went a step further and hung his colourful portraits in every otherwise minimalist room. Every stay includes a complimentary one-hour massage.
