“Exceptional Oasis for Mind & Body”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

As soon as you enter the little tree covered entrance driveway to Mandala, the madness of Boracay literally evaporates behind you.
Even during the rainy season, it was an absolute delight to share the space with just a few others, & the staff were incredibly attentive. Special arrangements were made for meals including the chef & assistant cooking a 5 course meal on our terrace.
The pool villa is incredible, with total privacy, views over the beach & actually no reason to leave, as we had one treatment right on the terrace adjacent to the pool....the sound of raindrops, light wind, ocean waves & birds.....
Consider the very special watsu water treatment, carried out in the owners private pool.
There is a reason Mandala has won every award going - they are world class, professional & have only very limited space....their awards are based on quality, not quantity.

Room Tip: Only one pool villa - worth the splurge if you have the time to enjoy just sitting on the terrace &a...

“Best spa I have ever experienced!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 3, 2012

I still keep talking about it 8 years after, and I will still talk about it for the rest of my life!

This is the best spa I have ever been to. The moment we came in till the time we left, it was absolutely amazing. These young tiny young ladies can make you fall asleep in seconds. They have all the expertise to make an exhausted traveler feel really relaxed.

It's all worth it, my words aren't enough!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 1, 2012

Mandala Spa is an oasis in the party island of Boracay. Set in beautiful grounds the villas are fantastic, spacious and very well decorated with a lovely big bath, outdoor shower and glass doors on the entire front of the villa that open to a balcony and let lots of light in.
It is really good value for money with a massage included each day in the privacy of your own villa and a yoga class every morning which we took advantage of followed by a lovely healthy breakfast served by the friendly attentive staff Allain, Greg and Fan.
The staff on reception were excellent, very friendly and professional and couldn't do enough to help us. A special mention to Allain who handled our transfers, he was very friendly and looked after us during our stay. Jove, the manager, was very professional ensured everything about our stay was to the highest standard. All the staff helped make our holiday that bit more special.
We didn't have any spa treatments but the massages in our villa were fantastic and very relaxing. The ipod with the chillout music was a nice touch.
We stayed here as part of our honeymoon and it was very romantic.
I would definitely recommend a stay at Mandala Spa & Villas.

“Royal treatment in Mandala”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2012

As more treatments become available (and even encouraged) for everyone, it can be a challenge to know what's worth your time and money. Given Boracay's reputation as a hard-partying beach island, the pampering done in Mandala after all the activity in the beach makes up for the almost two-hour communion with serenity and tranquility.

“Best Destination Spa and Resort indeed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2012

My husband and I have been to Boracay thrice and this is our first time to stay in Mandala. Now I wonder why we never step foot on this property the first two Boracay visits!!! This place is probably the only remains of the original Boracay Island, I would have to say the island's saving grace. Beautiful green surroundings, clean and quiet environment perfect for couples honeymooning or just holidaying. Our villas had big spacious bed enough for four people! Service and housekeeping were exceptional--Filipino hospitality at its finest. Limited options for breakfast, don't expect breakfast buffets here, but delicious, freshly prepared and healthy. We had two different kinds of spa treatments and there's nothing like it. I go to spas a lot back home but the touch of my therapists were very different, like they were doing a ritual they know perfectly from the heart. I never believed in spa awards until I got to Mandala, I thought to myself, WOW, how do they do this? These people really should be awarded for putting up a spa like this. We decided to stay in on our last night and did not bother going out for shopping and a few drinks. We loved the villas so much we wanted to savour the moment. It's a shame we haven't tried the daily yoga. This is not the place for people whose only purpose in Boracay is to party and go to touristy places. This is a place for travelers who travel for comfort, who travel in style and luxury, and enjoy the island in its truest form.
