General Luna

The main tourist hub of Siargao and the heart of the digital nomad scene. General Luna offers the widest range of restaurants, cafes, bars, and nightlife on the island. Tourism Road is the main strip with countless dining options from local carinderias to international cuisine. Most coworking spaces and laptop-friendly cafes are here. Walkable within the town center but you will need a scooter to explore beyond. Can feel busy during peak season but has the best infrastructure and community for remote workers.

North Siargao (Pacifico & Beyond)

$

The off-the-beaten-path part of Siargao offering remote beaches, powerful surf breaks, and authentic island living. Pacifico has a world-class wave and much fewer crowds than Cloud 9. Accommodation is cheaper but infrastructure is limited with Starlink-only internet in most areas. Beautiful coconut-lined roads and unspoiled nature. Requires scooter for all transportation. Best for adventurous travelers willing to trade convenience for tranquility and lower costs.

πŸ’‘ Choosing Your Neighborhood

πŸŒ™

Match your schedule. Quiet areas for early risers, lively ones for night owls who work late and thrive in evening energy.

πŸ’»

Check coworking proximity. Walking distance to cafes and spaces matters a lot after a few weeks of settling in.

🏠

Try before committing. Book 1-2 weeks first before longer stays. Every neighborhood feels different at night.

πŸ’¬

Ask the community. Join local nomad groups for recent tipsβ€”neighborhoods change faster than any guide.
