Siquijor Vacations

Siquijor might be small, but it’s packed with wonder. Tucked away in the Central Visayas, this island draws you in with its untouched beaches, jungle waterfalls, and an air of magic that lingers long after you leave.

We love how Siquijor blends beauty with mystery. Known as the “Island of Fire” thanks to the eerie glow of fireflies at night, it’s also steeped in local folklore. You can visit traditional healers and watch age-old rituals still practised today — and don’t miss the famous Balete Tree, where legends of spirits swirl around its ancient roots.

The beaches here are next-level. Salagdoong Beach, with its cliff-jumping spots and clear water, is a favourite for thrill-seekers. For a quieter day, head to Paliton Beach — its powdery sand and shallow turquoise sea are perfect for laid-back swims and long, peaceful afternoons.

Waterfalls dot the island’s interior like secret gems. Cambugahay Falls is a dream — rope swings, cool blue pools, and tiered cascades tucked in the jungle. Lugnason and Canlasog Falls are equally magical and often less crowded.

Island-hopping is a must, and nearby Apo Island offers some of the best snorkelling and diving we’ve ever done. Keep an eye out for turtles and dolphins!

For a dose of history, explore the Lazi Convent and the centuries-old St. Isidore Church — both quiet reminders of the island’s colonial past. And if you’re here during festival season, the Healing and Sandugan Festivals are full of music, dancing, and colour.

Siquijor’s simple seafood dishes are a treat, and if you’re feeling brave, try salagubang — yes, beetle larvae!

From its folklore to its waterfalls, Siquijor is somewhere you feel, not just see — and we think you’ll feel the magic too.
