Our Story

The Hideout

Tucked away in the quiet village of Barangay Malinao, General's Hideout sits just a short motorbike ride from General Luna — the island's main tourism hub — but a world away from its crowd and noise. This is the side of Siargao that draws you back again and again.

Established in February 2024 and managed by TwentyOneHundred Inc., General's Hideout blends modern comfort with genuine island charm. The rooms are clean, private, and air conditioned, each with garden views. The lush open garden is where guests tend to linger the longest, especially after the sun goes down and the lights come on.

The Zen Zone Gazebo is tucked into the garden for those moments when you just need to sit still and let the sound of the trees do the work. The open-air kitchen and bar is set up for both self-catering and communal meals, and the staff are the kind of people who will sort out a scooter rental, point you to the best spots the guidebooks miss, and check in on you without hovering.

Starlink internet and a TP-Link mesh network mean you can work remotely without compromise — which is rare at this price point. Free parking, free Wi-Fi, and the kind of quiet that you actually sleep through. Airport transfers can be arranged through our preferred partner operators (fees apply).

The Neighborhood

Malinao & Beyond

One of Siargao's best kept secrets. Positioned between the island's main attractions — you get the quiet without the inconvenience. A tricycle or scooter gets you anywhere in under 20 minutes.

Walking distance
Malinao Beach
Powdery white sand and calm turquoise waters, ideal for sunbathing or swimming. Faces out toward Guyam and Daku Islands — the views alone are worth the walk.
Just down the road
Secret Beach (Doot Beach)
One of the best beaches on the island. White sand, palm-fringed shoreline, and right-hand point breaks perfect for longboarding. The approach through coconut trees is part of the experience. Strictly no disposable plastics to protect the mangroves.
On the doorstep
Malinao Mangroves
Explore the surrounding mangroves by paddleboard or kayak. From 6 to 9 in the evening, plankton and firefly watching tours run here — genuinely unlike anything else on the island.
Minutes away
Malinao Skate Road
A long, smooth road running close to Doot Beach with almost no traffic — Siargao's go-to spot for surfers who cross-train on surfskate boards. Cruising this at golden hour with the Pacific in the background is a Siargao experience all its own.
Short ride north
Cloud 9
The Surfing Capital of the Philippines. Cloud 9 is known globally for its thick, hollow tubes and the annual Siargao Cup. Surf lessons, board rentals, and local instructors are easy to arrange through our staff.
From General Luna
Island Hopping
Guyam, Naked Island, and Daku Island depart from General Luna. On a clear morning you can see Guyam from Malinao — which makes it feel less like a day trip and more like visiting a neighbor.
30km north
Magpupungko Rock Pools
Best timed at low tide, when the natural tidal pools open into something that looks like an infinity pool carved into volcanic rock. A half-day motorbike ride and one of Siargao's truly unforgettable stops.
