Siargao

Once a well-kept secret in surfing circles, the island of Siargao has slowly become one of the most sought-after destinations in the world. Discover why this tiny haven with world-class waves, white sand islets, turquoise tide pools, and hidden lagoons was hailed as the world’s most beautiful island back in 2018.

Premium travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler named Siargao the world’s most beautiful island in 2018 and all the flights to the tiny, tear-shaped island have been increasing ever since.

With a total land area of only 437 square kilometers, the entire Siargao Island can be circumnavigated in less than a day. World-class surf spots, sparkling white sand islets, turquoise tide pools, and palm tree-laden lagoons are just within meters of each other. Add to that: They’re all within the vicinity of newly opened resorts and restaurants offering local and global cuisine. (Philippines.Travel)
