Discover Siargao:
The Surf Capital of the Philippines
Siargao is not just an island.
It is a movement.
Once a quiet fishing community in Mindanao, Siargao transformed into a global surf destination — without losing its raw charm. Palm-lined roads, turquoise lagoons, untouched sandbars, and world-class waves define this teardrop-shaped island.
But here’s what most people miss:
Siargao was made to be explored by sea.
And that’s where CILYC changes the game.
A Brief History of Siargao
Long before international surfers arrived, Siargao was home to small fishing villages dependent on the Pacific Ocean.
The island gained global recognition in the 1980s when surfers discovered Cloud 9 — now one of the most famous surf breaks in Asia.
Over time, boutique resorts, eco-lodges, and luxury retreats followed. Yet despite its popularity, Siargao still feels wild, open, and unpolished in the best way possible.
It’s not manufactured luxury.
It’s natural exclusivity.
Biggest Celebration: Siargao International Surfing Cup
Every year, Siargao hosts the Siargao International Surfing Cup at Cloud 9, drawing professional surfers and global spectators.
During this season:
-
The island energy is electric
-
Beachfront parties fill General Luna
-
Sunset gatherings define the social scene
For CILYC guests, this creates a rare opportunity:
Enjoy the surf culture by day — retreat to the privacy of your yacht by night.
That’s elevated island living.
