While El Nido and Boracay are still the 2 most popular islands in the Philippines, Siargao is quickly establishing itself as a strong candidate for 3rd place. And now, with Boracay’s being closed for at least 6 months for rehabilitation, visits to Siargao increased exponentially making it the hottest tourist spot in the country at the moment.
Siargao started out mainly as a backpacker’s destination, attracting mostly surfers coming to the famous Cloud Nine beach. With beautiful white sand beaches and stunning small islands and lagoons, it has remained one of the best-kept secrets in the Philippines. Now, people are starting to pick up on the fact this island is one of the most wonderful in the world.
Siargao has now reached a sweet spot where it’s popular enough that tourism is developed and well maintained, but the island still has that raw paradise vibe to it. This is the best time to visit the place before too many tourists turn it into just another Boracay.
