Kingfisher Resort

Top choice in North Luzon


In splendid isolation 10km along a partially paved road from Saud Beach, Kingfisher caters to active travellers, with kitesurfing and windsurfing available between October and March, and paddleboards and kayaks for rent when seas are calmer. Lodge in basic tiki huts or treat yourself to their swanky casita. The chilled beach vibe makes it difficult to leave. Three-night minimum stay.
