Known for its prominent Filipino concept, Los Indios Bravos is probably Boracay’s best hidden gem! Having a speakeasy meets gastropub feel, the walls are decorated with photos from the time of the intelligent indios back in the 1900’s. Aside from the unique interiors, they also serve great food and locally brewed craft beers (on tap, by the way) from all over the Philippines. Great place for a date by the beach!

Who says you have to go out for a Valentine’s Date? A lot of people would rather just stay home and relax on the couch, while watching a movie beside their loved one. Especially since Valentine’s Day falls on a weekday this year, it would be nice to chill at home after work. But before you do, check out Landers and grab yourself some stuff to bring home!
