Islander's Paradise Beach Resort

Siquijor


One of the pioneering Siquijor resorts, Islander's Paradise's day might have come and gone. This loose village of seven faux nipa cottages with little concrete verandahs is showing its age, though sunsets and a relaxed and familial vibe don't ever go out of style. A low seawall separates the leafy property from the beach.
