Sandugan

Sandugan is set on the northern tip of Siquijor Island, specifically in the town of Larena. It is a haven for travelers seeking a more secluded and intimate island experience. Known for its long stretch of white sand and bustling marine life, Sandugan is a favorite for divers and snorkelers. Casa de la Playa Beach Resort is a landmark in the area, offering a rustic and traditional beachfront stay. Other popular spots include Mings Native Guesthouse and Islanderparadise Resort for budget-conscious travelers, and Cliff Side Beach Resort and Cottages for those wanting a view from the heights. The waters here are part of a marine sanctuary, meaning the coral reefs are healthy and teeming with fish just a short swim from the shore. Unlike the busier southern parts of the island, Sandugan remains quiet and untouched by mass commercialization. Getting here is easy via the Larena Pier, which connects Siquijor to Bohol and Cebu. The local lifestyle is laid-back, with beachside dining featuring fresh Filipino flavors being the norm. Sandugan is well-suited for watching the sunset, exploring the underwater world, or simply enjoying the peaceful breeze of the Mindanao Sea. It embodies the serene, mystical charm that Siquijor is famous for.
