Overview
Voodoo House is a beachfront stay in Lala-o, part of San Juan on Siquijor's west coast, with wide views over the sea and swimming spots a few steps away. The name nods to the island's reputation for folk magic; the reality is a relaxed, low-key place to watch the sunset.
The old page gives few other details, so check the partner listing for rooms and facilities. What it does have is the thing most people come to Siquijor for: the water right there in front of you.
Highlights
- Beachfront location
- Panoramic ocean views
- Steps from swimming spots
- Near local dining
Location
Lala-o is on San Juan's coastal strip, where dive centres, small cafés and restaurants are within walking distance or a short tricycle ride. The coast faces west, so evenings here are all about the sunset.
Snorkelling is good along this shore, with the Tubod and Maite marine sanctuaries nearby. For a change of scene, Capilay Spring Park in the town centre has a cool, spring-fed pool, and Cambugahay Falls is under an hour away by scooter.
Siquijor's folk-healing traditions are still part of local life, and some healers in the hills will see visitors who ask respectfully. You don't need to believe in any of it to enjoy the island, which is known as one of the friendliest in the Visayas.
Good to know
- Room facilities aren't described on the old page.
- Shorelines here can be rocky in places; reef shoes help.
- Bring cash for small cafés and sanctuary fees.
