4 reviewed party hostels · from €6.55/night · Hostelworld rated
Siargao flips from surf paradise to party spot as soon as the sun drops. The action centres on Tourism Road in General Luna, where hostels and bars line the same sandy strip. Mad Monkey Hostel kicks things off with its own bar, drawing backpackers and locals for cheap San Miguel and reggae nights. By 10 p.m., the road hums with motorbikes and laughter spilling out of beachfront shacks.
Most places are walkable: you’ll cover the main bar zone in 15 minutes: but tricycles wait on every corner for the short ride back to your hostel when your flip-flops give out. The party schedule rotates: Mondays bring pub quizzes at Barrrel, Wednesdays see fire dancers at Bravo Beach Club, and weekends belong to the full-moon beach parties at Shaka Café. Don’t expect Manila-level clubbing; expect rum buckets, sand between your toes, and a crowd that’s more surf rat than socialite.

Organised nights out with a local guide
A weekly crawl that hits four bars in General Luna, starting at Mad Monkey Hostel. The ₱800 ticket includes a welcome shot, free drinks at each stop, and a late-night after-party at Shaka Café. The crawl runs every Saturday, with pickups at hostels along Tourism Road. Expect drinking games, fire dancers, and a crowd of 50+ backpackers and surfers.
How Siargao's nightlife zones break down
The island’s nightlife and backpacker hub, where Tourism Road runs parallel to the beach. Hostels, bars, and surf shops line the sandy street, and the vibe is equal parts surf camp and spring break. Most places are within walking distance, but tricycles buzz up and down the road until 3 a.m. The beach here is rocky, so save swimming for Cloud 9 or Pacifico.
A world-famous surf break 10 minutes north of General Luna. The area has a handful of beachfront bars and hostels, but the nightlife is quieter than in General Luna. By day, it’s all about the waves; by night, bonfires and acoustic jams take over. The boardwalk is the best spot for sunset beers, with views of the surfers catching the last waves.
The island’s main port town, where ferries arrive from Surigao City. There’s no nightlife here, but it’s worth a stop for the fresh seafood at the market or a cheap meal at a carinderia. The pier is a good spot for watching the sunrise if you’re catching an early boat. Most travellers pass through quickly on their way to General Luna.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
A wooden shack with mismatched chairs and a surfboard bar. Mondays host a pub quiz that packs the place by 8 p.m. Expect ₱80 beers, ₱150 cocktails, and a crowd that’s equal parts expats and Filipino travellers. The music leans rock and reggae, and the kitchen serves burgers until midnight. Get there early for a table: it’s standing room only by 10 p.m.
A palm-thatched beach bar that turns into Siargao’s biggest party spot on full-moon nights. The rest of the week, it’s a health-food café serving smoothie bowls and cold-pressed juices. When the moon is full, fire dancers light up the sand, and the rum buckets flow until sunrise. Entry is free, but drinks cost ₱180–₱250. Bring cash: there’s no ATM nearby.
A two-storey bamboo structure with day beds and a pool. Wednesday nights feature fire dancers and DJs spinning house and techno. Happy hour runs 5–7 p.m., with ₱100 San Miguel and ₱150 cocktails. The crowd is a mix of backpackers and digital nomads, and the music volume rises as the night goes on. Cover charge is ₱200 on party nights, which includes one drink.
The hostel’s in-house bar is the default pre-game spot for backpackers. ₱50 Red Horse beers, ₱100 shots, and a pool table keep the crowd happy until 2 a.m. Most nights feature a theme: reggae, 90s throwback, or foam party: and the staff organise drinking games. If you’re not staying at the hostel, arrive before 10 p.m. to avoid the cover charge.
A tiny bar specialising in rum cocktails and shots. The menu lists over 20 rum varieties, and the bartenders will mix you a ₱200 mojito or a ₱150 rum bucket. The crowd is mostly locals and long-term expats, and the music is loud reggae or rock. It’s a five-minute walk from Tourism Road, so it’s quieter than the main strip: perfect for a late-night cap.
A beachfront bar with live acoustic sets every Thursday and Sunday. The crowd is laid-back, sipping ₱120 beers and ₱200 cocktails while watching the sunset. Later in the evening, the music switches to reggae or indie, and the volume creeps up. The kitchen serves Filipino dishes like adobo and sinigang until 11 p.m. No cover charge, but the sand floor gets crowded.
A no-frills bar with ₱60 beers and a pool table. The crowd is mostly Filipino travellers and surfers, and the music is a mix of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) and 2000s hits. It’s a good spot for a low-key night or a game of pool. Happy hour runs 4–6 p.m., and the kitchen serves bar chow like fries and sisig until midnight.
