As the surfing capital of the Philippines, the tear-drop shaped Siargao Island is encircled by lapping waves on glistening white sands lined with palm trees. Occupying a central location along the beach front in Purok V – the main town on the island – is Siago Beach Resort, perfectly placed for enjoying all the surrounding watery pleasures, restaurants, shops and nightlife.

The resort is a realised dream for the husband and wife owners whose team of staff has become extended members of their family. In turn, guests of all ages are welcomed to what feels like a home; one inspired by colourful Tulum, México, with Spanish architecture decorated with furnishings crafted by local artisans. Straw roofs, wicker chairs and palm trees define the outdoor spaces, whilst the interior remains relatively minimalist with weaved light fixtures and eggshell walls.

The lucky winner will receive:

A three-night stay
Breakfast each morning
A surf lesson or in-room massage
