How Much It Costs to Stay at The Lind, Boracay's Only Resort in the Michelin Guide

While its oceanfront address in Station 1 is an undeniable advantage, The Lind Boracay COO and founding General Manager Pierre Henrichs is quick to point out that location alone isn’t what sustained the property over the past decade.

“The location did not define us,” he tells Preview in an exclusive interview. “What shaped The Lind was the founders’ love for travel, food, design, and creating experiences that feel personal.”

The Lind's business development manager, Shaun Tan, calls it being "guest-obsessed"—and he should know, he grew up traveling all over the world with the founders and hearing about the plans and construction over family dinners long before officially joining the team. "When creating and operating The Lind, we always come in with the perspective that we want it to be a hotel that we personally want to stay in," he shares. Operating with the guest's perspective in mind is the key differentiator, he believes, that sets them apart.

From the beginning, the founders were clear on the kind of experience they wanted to offer—one shaped by the five-star service they themselves had encountered in their travels. While the family brought in foreign experts to strengthen the team and share their knowledge in managing luxury properties, they made a deliberate choice to remain independently operated.

“International groups do well, but their priority is expanding their portfolio. Our priority was always the guest experience,” says Pierre Henrichs, noting that this early decision proved pivotal to the hotel’s longevity. “Being independent allowed us to adjust quickly, improve fast, and make decisions without waiting for approval from an office in another country. It gave us the flexibility to build a brand with its own identity.”

"Hospitality is really about connection and moments that make people feel seen and remembered," Pierre reflects. Revealing that there is no secret sauce and that their success rested upon the passion and vision of the owners and on-ground team, he confides that "We did not try to reinvent hospitality. We focused on getting the essentials right: good service, warm people, beautiful surroundings, and moments that feel genuine."

Using the previous "LINDecade" in Boracay as their jump-off point, the group is now set to expand in Siargao and Coron.

Already planning your visit? We don't blame you! To fully maximize your vacay, stay present as you bask in everything that The Lind can offer. "Once you are here, take a breath, settle in, and enjoy the beach, relax by the pool, visit The Spa, try our restaurants, and take in the rhythm of the island," Pierre recommends.

Apart from comfy sunbeds, the powdery beachfront also offers leisure games and activities such as Jenga, pickleball, and cornhole, with complimentary light refreshments being passed around in the afternoon. Prefer the pool? They have several to choose from, including an infinity pool in the roofdeck that hosts sunrise yogas and catches the most stunning sunsets. There's also an in-house gym to get those endorphins running, while The Spa is accessible if you want something more relaxed.

And yes, you can hold your special events at the property. You can organize banquets and even your dream wedding and have the option to do so indoors and outdoors. The newly opened Gallery is an airconditioned hall for such milestone occasions, and there's always the Ballroom if you prefer something grander.

With three dining outlets, there's never an empty stomach at The Lind. Tartine serves up international flavors that traverses from East to West, and this is where you enjoy a healthy and hearty breakfast buffet. Mediterranean influences reign supreme at the beachfront restaurant Crust, where you can get light bites like Crispy Calamari, refreshing pasta, and succulent roasted meats and seafood.

And lastly, just when you thought you couldn't get Thai food in Boracay, they opened Yim. Featuring a specially-crafted menu by their Thai chef Siriporn Krasae-at, also known as Chef Joy, their newest restaurant promises authentic and delicious foodfare. Anchored on bold, balanced flavors using fresh local produce, you can expect a satisfying and memorable meal best enjoyed with family and friends. "My personal favorite item is the Khai Jiaw [Thai omelette], but you can’t go wrong with anything in the menu," Shawn shares.

What's more, they also hold a guest chef series from time to time. This March, The Lind opens its kitchen to 2025 Michelin Recommended Restaurant from the Netherlands Oan Tafel. At P3,800 per person, diners get to partake in "an intimate six-course tasting dinner that celebrates fresh, locally sourced Philippine ingredients through a refined, vegetable-forward approach."
