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.
