Abukay Resort

A no frills hostel comfortably nestled right by the shore, Abukay Resort is a no-frills hostel on the island of Siargao. It features basic accommodations ideal for backpackers and budget travelers, and is the perfect location to start exploring the island’s sandy beaches, crystal waters, and phenomenal waves.

A 45-minute drive from Sayak Airport, the resort provides car rental services which can be arranged beforehand upon request. For local travelers bringing their own private transportation, there is a parking area on site. One of the perks of the hotel is they allow pets so guests won’t have to worry about leaving their furry friends behind.

It’s a no brainer that when in Siargao, surfing is the top activity of choice. Surfers can head six minutes to Cloud 9 and the Boardwalk, the best surf spot in the island with its waves and tunnels. If calm, pristine waters are preferred, plunge into the cool tidal pools of Magpupungko 54 minutes away.

For authentic island living, sail 15 to 25 minutes from the port of General Luna to Daku Island, one of the more popular islands in the area where guests can wade in warm waters and dine by the shore on the freshest catch of the day. Local favorite Mama’s Grill is only a three-minute walk from the hotel.

At Abukay Resort, guest rooms feature views of the sea or the garden and are fitted with air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and en suite bath with shower. Other hotel amenities include private and express check-in or check-out, as well as WiFi in public spaces like the BBQ area.
