La Maison - Siquijor

In the middle of San Juan, and still quiet, which is rare here. La Maison is a small guesthouse with four rooms, run like a home rather than a hotel. It is rated 9.7/10 from 54 reviews on Booking.com.

The rooms

Only four rooms, so there is no stream of guests coming and going, and the house stays quiet in the evening and in the morning. Every room has silent air conditioning and hot water with real pressure, two things that are not the island standard.

Working from Siquijor

This is what sets the house apart. Internet runs on Starlink, and the house runs entirely on solar power: the grid outages that are common on Siquijor do not reach it. The connection and the air conditioning keep running when the rest of the street is dark. It is one of the very few places on the island where you can actually work, take a video call or send large files without losing the evening to it.

Location

La Maison sits on the circumferential road in central San Juan, the town where most of the west coast's restaurants, bars and beaches are. You do not need a tricycle for every meal, and you still come back to a quiet night.

Who it suits

Travellers staying several days or weeks, remote workers, and couples who prefer a calm house to a resort. The hosts have lived on the island for years and know the ground: that is the difference between a room and a stay.
