Boracay markets will take you to a world of new and exotic sights and impressions. You can easily spend hours looking around - observing the many people, examining the sometimes curious items on display, and buying necessities, souvenirs, local delicacies and much more.
The largest market on the Island is called the Talipapa, which means "small market place". Talipapa isn't so small, though, stretching some 400 meters along its main walkway from White Beach to the Main Road. It straddles the boundary between Barangay Balabag and Barangay Manoc-Manoc. Talipapa is essentially a flea market, with countless stalls, mini-marts, boutiques and shops for clothes, jewelry, souvenirs and handicrafts. There are barbershops, tattoo shops, shoemakers and tailors; stalls with fruits, vegetables, meat and fish; and small restaurants ( called ihau ihau).
The Boracay Trade Fair Center, near the Regency Hotel, is a much smaller version of Talipapa. It also has stalls selling different products and an ihau ihau at one end, but no shops selling perishables.
D' Mall is close to Bazzura Disco and the newest and most modern market on the Island. Like Talipapa, D' Mall stretches from White Beach to the Main Road. Constructed by a single developer, the various shops have a structural design. The shop decors are all quite different, however, many are very original and attractive. A wide range of products and services are available in these shops, including more expensive speciality items such as art work, handcrafts and antiques. Bars and restaurants are also in D' Mall, with the more expensive ones near Boracay Beach and the less expensive closer to the Main Road.
