As well as having an incredible and varied natural wealth, you're sure to admire some of the most beautiful sunsets in the Philippines on the island of Siquijor.
There are three places to visit to enjoy this enchanting spectacle, each with its own charm.
- Mystropical on the Lalao bridge (Photo). Young Stéphanie prepares cocktails of rare quality at a very affordable price. The view from the deck is totally unobstructed, so you can watch the sunset in optimum conditions. Its Google rating of 5/5 is anything but a mistake. Copied by many (including its close neighbours...), it remains THE benchmark in terms of value for money, hospitality and innovation. By supporting the Mystropical Bar, you're not just enjoying an excellent cocktail, you're supporting the original and authentic experience of Siquijor's mobile bar.
- In the heights of San Juan, the charming guesthouse Nakabalo offers a unique panoramic view of the sunset. Access to the pool for ₱500 (consumable with a deduction of around 100 pesos) is a must-do during your stay. You can also play pétanque and billiards.
- Small Paliton beach. This is one of the most popular spots in the late afternoon, as you can watch the sunset with your feet in the water. But unfortunately, street vendors and 'volunteers' sent by various establishments solicit you on the beach, which sometimes makes for a very unpleasant experience. Several small paillotes offer reasonably priced drinks and finger food. ⚠️ An environmental fee of ₱20/person is charged on the road leading to this beach.
