10 Best Hostels on Siargao Island 2024

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double-check with the concerned establishments for the latest updates.

Awarded the Best Island in Asia in 2021 by Conde Nast Travelers Readers, Siargao has become one of the hottest and hippest places to be when traveling to the Philippines. This tropical island off the northeastern coast of Mindanao’s main island plays a huge role in the tourism industry of Surigao del Norte province.

As the Surfing Capital of the Philippines, it beckons surfing enthusiasts — beginners and professionals alike — to its many surfing spots, including the world-famous Cloud 9 in General Luna. Pacifico Beach in San Isidro offers relatively less crowded surfing sites. Other than the gnarly swells and barrels, Siargao showcases other natural attractions: Magpupungko Rock Pools, Sugba Lagoon, Doot Beach, Maasin River, Burgos Coconut Road, and other hidden beaches!

Off the coast of General Luna nestled the famed trinity of Siargao’s island hopping activity — Guyam, Daku, and Naked islands. In addition, Sohoton Cove (Bucas Grande Islands) is a possible day trip destination from Siargao.
