"The Healing Island"— Siquijor, Philippines

Описание: Discover one of the best islands and tourist spots in the Philippines!

Siquijor Island is an off-the-beaten-path tropical island destination in the Philippines, located just off the coast of Negros.

Those who make it here will be greeted by palm-fringed white sand beaches, coral reefs with abundant sea turtles, jungle waterfalls for swimming and cliff jumping, and some of the friendliest, most welcoming locals in the country.

After traveling around the island for a week, we’ve written this Siquijor Island travel guide to help you find what to do so you can plan your own itinerary.

We highly recommend KÂDÍJ Guesthouse.
We also get our whole island tour from them. The staff is very kind, and our tour guide, Kuya Rho Bhert Maata, is very accommodating, as is Ate Bebe.

If you want to stay near the beach with the best beach view, a sunset to watch, and a sea turtle swimming near you, this is the best place to stay. Very laidback and relaxing.
