Where to stay in Siargao: the four areas
Where to stay in Siargao starts with General Luna. The Tourism Promotions Board’s Siargao guide says resorts are highly concentrated there, in a surfers’ town with lodgings from luxe to basic, and calls Siargao the country’s surf capital.
General Luna
General Luna is the main town and the strip along Tourism Road. Bravo calls it the action-packed part of the island, and Latitude 10 sits in Poblacion 5, about two minutes on foot from the white-sand beach, according to its Booking.com listing. Isla Cabana and Romantic Beach Villas are here too.
Cloud 9 and Catangnan
Catangnan runs along Tourism Road towards Cloud 9, the surf break the tourism board says is world-famous for its high, thick barrels. Kalinaw is 800 m from Cloud 9, and Mad Monkey, Hiraya, Sunlit and Daluyong are all in Catangnan, so this is the busiest stretch for surfers.
Pacifico (San Isidro)
Pacifico is a beach in San Isidro, in the north of the island, far from General Luna. Trogon’s Perch markets the calmer rhythm of North Siargao, and Bamboo Surf Beach has a surf spot directly in front. Choose it for quiet waves, not for restaurants.
Malinao Road
Malinao Road is the quieter road west of General Luna. Dahun Villas is here, about 4 km from Cloud 9, and says it is away from the noise; a quiet beach is about 150 m across the road.
Luxury hotels in Siargao
Luxury hotels in Siargao are small: private-pool villas, a beachfront spa resort and a clifftop hotel with one room type. These three are the top end of the list.
Kalinaw Resort
Kalinaw Resort has six ocean-front villas on Cloud 9 Road in Catangnan, 800 m from Cloud 9. Guests rate it 9.4 out of 10 from 70 guest reviews on Booking.com, read on 26 October 2026; that is a small number of reviews, so treat the score with care.
Each villa has a private infinity pool. Its official site showed The Pool Deluxe Villa from PHP 26,900 a night, The Pavilion Pool Villa at PHP 38,900 and The Pool Suite Villa at PHP 46,900. Breakfast is served at the villa, and there is a private van airport transfer.
Isla Cabana Resort
Isla Cabana Resort is a beachfront resort near General Luna, 1.9 miles from Cloud 9 and about 18.6 miles from the airport, according to its official site. It has no guest score on Booking.com yet, so it is listed without one.
It has a private beach area, an outdoor pool and sun terrace facing the Pacific, the Cabana Spa, a beachfront restaurant and Isla Cusina for brick-oven pizza. The 119 m² Ocean Premier Suite has a king bed and a mini pool. Snorkelling, canoeing and cycling are on offer.
Trogon’s Perch
Trogon’s Perch is a clifftop hotel at Pacifico in North Siargao, a few minutes from Pacifico Beach and 17 km from Sayak Airport. Guests rate it 9.4 out of 10 from 341 guest reviews on Booking.com.
There is one room type, the 38 m² Deluxe Oceanfront Room with a king bed, and children 10 and under stay free. It has an infinity pool, a fitness centre, a Mediterranean restaurant, a bar and a paid airport shuttle. General Luna’s restaurants and nightlife are a long ride away.
Mid-range hotels in Siargao
Mid-range hotels in Siargao are mostly beachfront resorts and villas in General Luna and Catangnan, plus one surf resort at Pacifico. These five have guest scores from 8.1 to 9.7.
Romantic Beach Villas
Romantic Beach Villas is a beachfront property in Barangay 5, General Luna, steps from the white-sand beach. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 from 735 guest reviews on Booking.com, the most reviews on this list.
It has a seaside restaurant with Pacific views, massage, paddle boards and ocean kayaks, and island trips by banka or speed boat; Booking.com lists a large infinity pool. The official site also offers private beach dinners. It is not the place for a lively hostel scene.
Bravo Beach Resort Siargao
Bravo Beach Resort Siargao is on Tourism Road in the middle of General Luna. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10 from 105 guest reviews on Booking.com, and its official site showed rooms from PHP 5,074 a night on 26 October 2026.
It has a pool with poolside DJ sets on Fridays, a Spanish-fusion restaurant and bar, a daily happy hour from 3 to 6 pm and surf packages. Rooms run from Garden Rooms to Surf Shack rooms, plus Tadhana Villa with a private pool. Its lively mood rules it out for a quiet retreat.
Latitude 10 Siargao
Latitude 10 Siargao is a group of villas in central General Luna, about two minutes on foot from the white-sand beach and five minutes by car from Cloud 9. Guests rate it 8.1 out of 10 from 175 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing shows air-conditioned villas with a veranda and garden views, some rooms with sea views from the attic, family rooms, free parking and an airport shuttle. No pool is listed.
Daluyong Beach Resort
Daluyong Beach Resort is a beachfront resort on Tourism Road in Catangnan, on the way to Cloud 9. Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 from 228 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing shows adults-only rooms, sea-view rooms with a balcony or terrace, an outdoor pool with a view, a restaurant, room service and a private beach area. Families with children should look elsewhere.
Bamboo Surf Beach
Bamboo Surf Beach is on the beach at Pacifico in San Isidro, with a surf spot directly in front. It has the highest guest score on this list: 9.7 out of 10 from 589 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing, still under the older name Bamboo Garden, shows garden cottages, a year-round outdoor pool, a private beach area, a restaurant and room service. It is in the far north, so nightlife means a long ride to General Luna.
Budget hotels in Siargao
Budget hotels in Siargao are garden villas and hostels, most of them in Catangnan near Cloud 9. All four score 8.3 or more, and three of them have a pool.
Dahun Villas
Dahun Villas is a family-run property on Tourism-Malinao Road, open since 2018 and about 4 km from Cloud 9. Guests rate it 8.3 out of 10 from 105 guest reviews on Booking.com, and its official site shows stays from PHP 3,000 a night.
There are King, Queen and Dorm villas, a shared kitchen, air conditioning, Starlink Wi-Fi, free parking and a garden with open lounges. It is not beachfront and has no pool, but a quiet beach is about 150 m away.
Mad Monkey Siargao
Mad Monkey Siargao is a hostel in Catangnan, minutes from Cloud 9. Guests rate it 8.3 out of 10 from 284 guest reviews on Booking.com, and its official site showed dorm beds from USD 15.65 a night on 26 October 2026.
It has a pool, a restaurant and tiki bar, air-conditioned 6- and 12-bed dorms plus a female dorm, and privacy curtains on every bed. Daily surf lessons, a nightly 7 pm meet-up and a Tri-Island party boat tour set the tone. Booking.com lists it as adults-only.
Hiraya Surf Hostel
Hiraya Surf Hostel is in Catangnan, on the Cloud 9 side of General Luna. Guests rate it 8.8 out of 10 from 482 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing shows adults-only, air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom, a year-round outdoor pool, a bar and lounge and free Wi-Fi in public areas. No restaurant appears among its main facilities.
Sunlit Hostel
Sunlit Hostel is in Sta Ina, Catangnan, a calmer hostel between General Luna and Cloud 9. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 from 384 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing shows adults-only rooms, a year-round outdoor pool, a sun terrace and garden, a bar and lounge and an outdoor fireplace. Like Hiraya, it is not for families with children.
How we chose these Siargao hotels
How we chose these Siargao hotels matters, because we have not stayed at them. The 12 hotels were chosen from public, checkable data: a precise location, a guest score on Booking.com and facilities read on the official website where one exists, all checked on 26 October 2026.
Where a hotel has no official website, or its website blocks automated checks, the facilities come from its Booking.com listing. The Philippine Department of Tourism does award official star ratings to accredited hotels and resorts, but we have not checked each hotel’s grade, so this list shows no official star category; any star level mentioned is the hotel’s or Booking.com’s own description. No hotel pays to be listed; see the editorial policy and the affiliate disclosure.
Before you book a hotel in Siargao
- Register on the official eTravel site before you fly to the Philippines; it is the only official eTravel website and registration is free.
- The tourism board says a tricycle from Sayak Airport to General Luna takes about an hour and a half, so check whether your hotel offers an airport transfer.
- There are no taxis: tricycles and habal-habal motorbike taxis get you around, and Kalinaw is one hotel that rents motorbikes.
- Guest scores change; the figures here were read on 26 October 2026, so check the latest before booking.
When a Siargao hotel is the wrong choice
A Siargao hotel is the wrong choice if you want a big resort with kids’ clubs and several restaurants. Every hotel on this list is small, and the tourism board advises booking and planning your itinerary well in advance.
