Where to Stay on Camiguin

Beach cottages, dive resorts and boutique hideaways — which part of the island suits you, and sixteen places to book.

Camiguin has no big chain hotels. Instead you will find family-run cottages, small beach resorts, dive lodges and a handful of polished boutique places — most of them strung along the north-west coast between Mambajao and Agoho. Because the island is small, nowhere is far from anything; the question is what you want on your doorstep.

Below are the main areas, then sixteen real properties in three tiers, each linked to its Booking.com page for live prices and availability. We do not list prices per hotel because they change constantly — the bands further down are a rough guide only.

Where to stay

Which area suits you?

Agoho–Yumbing beach strip

First-timers, couples, divers

The island’s main beach area, a few kilometres west of Mambajao, with most of the resorts and restaurants and the boats to White Island just down the road. The sand is grey-to-dark volcanic sand, the sunsets are good and you can walk between places.

Mambajao & the north coast

Practical travellers, short stays

The capital has banks, shops, the market and the airport, plus simple hotels and some clifftop and coastal resorts nearby. Less beach atmosphere, but convenient for Katibawasan Falls and Ardent Hot Spring.

Mahinog & the east coast

Quiet seekers, ferry arrivals

Quieter and more local, close to the Mantigue Island boats, Taguines Lagoon and Benoni port. Fewer restaurants, so check what your accommodation offers.

Catarman & the west

Sunset lovers, independent explorers

Home to the Sunken Cemetery, the ruins and Tuasan Falls, with a few small guesthouses and great sunsets. A good choice if you have your own scooter.

Practical notes

  • Many smaller places prefer cash on arrival even if booked online — check the payment terms.
  • Ask about airport or port pick-ups; many resorts arrange them for a fee.
  • Scooter rental is often available at your accommodation.
  • Power cuts happen occasionally; some resorts have generators.

There are no international luxury chains, but a handful of boutique resorts offer excellent comfort and service — see the upscale tier above.

Are the beaches white sand?

Most of Camiguin’s main-island beaches have grey to dark volcanic sand. White sand is found on White Island and Mantigue Island.

Do I need a car to stay in Mahinog or Catarman?

Not strictly, but a scooter or hired driver makes those quieter areas far more convenient.

One or two weeks ahead normally; months ahead for Holy Week, the Lanzones Festival and Christmas.

Can I pay by card?

Booking.com shows each property’s payment options. Many small places still prefer cash on arrival.
