Kaban Hotel and Casino Opened in Station 0

Boracay Island- Kaban Hotel and Casino Boracay opened its doors on September 16, unveiling a new luxury and entertainment destination at Station 0 and marking the arrival of Boracay’s first hotel-casino ahead of its grand launch in October.

Developed within the 23-hectare master plan of Golden TW Realty and Development Corporation, KABAN brought together an 88-room hotel, gaming, dining, wellness and entertainment spaces under one roof.

The six-storey property featured a PAGCOR-licensed 2,000-square-meter casino floor, with table games, slot machines and electronic gaming options. Its accommodations ranged from boutique rooms to a presidential suite.

“KABAN is more than a destination. It is our promise to bring world-class entertainment and heartfelt Filipino hospitality together, creating a place where culture, leisure and celebration come together,” said KABAN President and CEO Kevin Wong.

KABAN had seven specialty restaurants and dining concepts, including Lamii All-Day Dining. Other facilities included the SIGLA Spa, Pool Deck, VIP Lounge, Kids Playlab, Lobby Café and a Skybar overlooking the island.

The property was part of Golden TW’s broader investment in Station 0, an emerging area in Barangay Yapak that the developer was positioning as a new inland leisure and entertainment hub. Golden TW was also developing Boracay Central, a lifestyle mall scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026.

About 40 percent of KABAN’s employees were from Aklan, the company said.
T
he name “KABAN,” Filipino for treasure chest, reflected the property’s theme of discovery and abundance. Its five-card star logo reinforced its “Where Stars Win” identity.

Promotions beginning September 16 offered millions of pesos in prizes, with gaming restricted to guests aged 21 and above and subject to responsible gaming rules.

The October grand launch was set to feature a larger showcase of entertainment, culture and hospitality as KABAN formally marked its entry into Boracay’s tourism landscape.
