While Boracay prices have matured, Siargao's surf and wellness tourism explosion is just beginning. Early investors are seeing 12–14% yields — here's why.
Why Siargao Now
Siargao's international profile exploded post-2019 with back-to-back awards as the Philippines' top island. Despite Typhoon Odette setbacks in 2021, the market has fully recovered and land prices remain 40–60% below Boracay equivalents, creating a compelling entry window.
Rental Yields Leading the Philippines
Early investors who entered pre-2020 are reporting net yields of 12–14% driven by the surge in wellness and surf tourism from Australia, Japan, and Europe. New entrants can still target 9–11% with careful unit selection near Cloud 9 and General Luna.
Infrastructure Uplift Incoming
The expansion of Siargao Airport to international capacity is projected to drive visitor numbers from 200,000 to 600,000+ annually by 2027. Infrastructure investment always precedes the biggest price jumps — the window to buy before completion is now.
