Seven Years of
Island Living

From a small idea on Siargao's shores to one of General Luna's most beloved eco hostels — this is the Hiraya story.

The Hiraya community celebrating 7 years

Born From a Love of Surf and Community

Hiraya Surf Hostel opened its doors in General Luna, Catangnan — one of Siargao's most authentic surf neighbourhoods — with a single clear vision: create a space where meeting new people and doing cool things isn't just a tagline, but the daily reality.

The founders understood that Siargao's magic lay not just in its world-class waves, but in the effortless sense of connection that the island seemed to conjure between strangers. Hiraya was designed to nurture that magic — a community hub rather than just a place to sleep.

Today, celebrating seven years on the island, Hiraya remains proudly solar-powered, community-first, and committed to protecting the natural beauty that makes Siargao so extraordinary. #notapartyhostel has never been more true.

Our Philosophy

Eco First

Running on 100% solar energy, we believe the way we power our hostel reflects our respect for Siargao's fragile island ecosystem. Every kilowatt is a commitment.

Community Always

Hiraya is not just a place to sleep. It is a living community of surfers, yogis, backpackers, and dreamers. Every guest adds to the story. Every connection matters.

Surf as a Lifestyle

We are not a surf resort — we are surfers who built a hostel. Surf class, board culture, ocean respect. We share the stoke with anyone willing to paddle out.

Five Things We Stand For

01

Sustainability

Solar power, minimal waste, and responsible practices protect the island we love.

02

Authenticity

No pretense, no performance. Real Siargao life, real people, real connections.

03

Inclusion

Every surfer, every skill level, every nationality — welcome at the lineup and at the table.

04

Intentionality

Daily yoga, surf class, and a cafe that closes at 3pm. We build a rhythm that heals.

05

Stewardship

We are caretakers of Siargao's natural beauty — for today's guests and tomorrow's waves.
