The dumbbell-like shaped island of Boracay is seven kilometers long and has a land area of 1,050 hectares with a fluctuating population of 20,000. The island is divided into three barangays (villages) namely: Yapak in the hilly north, Balabag in the center and hilly Manoc-Manoc in the south. These three villages and another 14 on the mainland form the municipality of Malay, which is part of the province of Aklan.

There is currently a controversy between the Department of Natural Environment and the residents of Boracay Island.  Most of the island's inhabitants are apprehensive of losing their claims to properties invested in the island, as these areas may be reclaimed by government.  The case is at an impasse but has brought the Boracay local government to take side with the local residents.
