Siquijor Island (pronounced Sicky Hor) is famous in the Philippines as the home of shamans, sorcerers and folk-healers known as Mananambals.

This small island off the coast of Negros and Cebu, reached by boat from Dumaguete, Bohol or Cebu is one of the most laid-back and interesting islands in the Philippines.

Discovering the folk-healing traditions is just one of the reasons to visit Siquijor Island. Diving and unspoilt white sand beaches are the other main reasons to visit Siquijor, and Coco Grove Resort is a great base for diving or relaxing in a boutique resort.
