(SPOT.ph) Siargao in Surigao del Norte has been getting a lot of attention in the past few years, especially with the newly-launched direct flights offered by local airlines and a whole movie that's set in the teardrop-shaped island. It's famous for its barreling waves that pro surfers from all over the world can't get enough of, white-sand beaches and sandbars, amazing rock formations, and pristine islets.
Convinced yet? There are plenty of accommodations available for every type of traveler—whether you're an adventurous solo flyer or a big group excited for the experience of a lifetime.
