Where to Stay in Siquijor: San Juan, Siquijor Town, Lazi and Beyond

Pick your side of the island first

Siquijor is small, but a 40-minute ride each way changes how a day feels. Choose your base by what you want to walk to.

San Juan — the default first visit

The west coast strip has the highest concentration of beach cottages, restaurants, dive shops and rental hosts, plus sunsets over Negros. Best for first-timers, couples and anyone without a scooter. Trade-off: it is the busiest part of the island.

Siquijor Town — convenience and ferries

Staying near the capital puts you minutes from the main port, ATMs, the market and the cathedral. Best for short trips, early ferries and budget travellers. Trade-off: beaches here are for views more than swimming.

Lazi and the south — waterfalls and quiet

Base here and Cambugahay Falls, Kagusuan Beach and the Lazi heritage buildings are all close. Best for repeat visitors and slow travellers. Trade-off: fewer restaurants after dark.

Larena and the north — local life

Quieter, greener, good value, and convenient if you arrive from Bohol. Best for long stays and remote workers. Trade-off: you will ride to reach the popular beaches.

Maria and the east — wild and empty

Near Salagdoong and long stretches of near-empty coast. Best for people who want almost nobody around. Trade-off: you need your own transport.

What to check before you book

• Water and power — ask about backup during outages.
• Wifi speed if you work remotely; ask for a real number, not a yes.
• Scooter availability on site, or a host who can arrange one.
• Walking distance to food, especially if you do not ride at night.
• Direct contact with the host — family-run stays answer fastest on WhatsApp or SMS.
