I spent almost a week in Siargao, but it was definitely not enough. It is a beautiful tropical island where you can relax, surf, party, enjoy great food, and have fun. It is also a place where you will meet lots of young travellers from all over the world. Because of that, you won’t have any trouble finding somewhere to enjoy your evenings.

WHERE TO STAY IN SIARGAO?

I stayed at the most amazing villa at Kaimana Resort Siargao. The resort is small and offers a choice between private rooms and villas. As I was staying for a longer period, I decided to book a private villa, and it was the best decision ever. The villa was private, clean, and luxurious.

There is also a large pool and a beautiful garden, the perfect combination for a relaxing swim after a long day. You can rent a motorbike through the accommodation, which makes everything efficient and hassle-free.

Kaimana Resort in Siargao doesn’t offer breakfast, but there are so many fantastic vegan cafés and restaurants nearby that you really don’t need to eat at your accommodation.

->Check availability for this beautiful resort here!

VEGAN BREAKFAST IN SIARGAO

Compared to other islands in the Philippines, I feel that Siargao has far more vegan and healthy restaurants. You can enjoy traditional Filipino food made vegan or go for Western options.

Most restaurants offering vegan breakfast in Siargao serve smoothie bowls. If you like sweet and fruity breakfasts, this is perfect for you. There are so many plant-based smoothie bowl options that choosing the best one can be difficult. But it is the most refreshing vegan breakfast you can find in the tropical heat.

Some restaurants in Siargao also serve savoury breakfast options, such as toast loaded with different toppings. Most cafés and restaurants offer oat, soy, or coconut milk for coffee, which is great news for all the coffee lovers out there.

Here are my favourite vegan breakfast spots in Siargao:

THE SOUL SHACK VEGAN BREAKFAST IN SIARGAO

This was our most memorable vegan breakfast spot in Siargao. The place has a spiritual feel with relaxed boho vibes. You can enjoy your food on the upper floor, sitting on cushions and looking out at the lush greenery.

They serve amazing smoothie bowls, smoothies, cacao potions, and my favourite breakfast there: papaya filled with coconut yoghurt. I’m still dreaming about that papaya now that I’m no longer in Siargao.

VEDYA SIARGAO VEGAN BREAKFAST

This vegan breakfast spot is right next to The Soul Shack. If you are staying nearby or have a motorbike, it is easy to reach both.

They offer toast with various toppings, such as macadamia banana brûlée for something sweet, or a range of savoury options like mushroom toast, hummus, pesto, or falafel. For a sweet plant-based breakfast, you can also choose a smoothie bowl, pancakes, or a yoghurt parfait.

Their entire menu is vegan, although some drinks may include dairy or honey. Their coffee is also really good.

SANABOWL SUPERFOOD CAFE

This is a small breakfast spot in Siargao that offers smoothie bowls and healthy toasts. The restaurant is not fully vegan, but there are some great vegan options.

Sanabowl is very popular, so be prepared for crowds. Their smoothie bowls are excellent, and you can even add vegan protein powder. You can choose from flavours like açaí, Mangolicious, creamy coconut, and cocoa banana. Their iced oat milk cappuccino is a must-try!

SHAKA SIARGAO VEGAN BREAKFAST

Shaka is located in the perfect spot, right next to the famous surf break at Cloud 9. This popular vegan restaurant is best visited early in the morning. You can watch the surfers while enjoying your breakfast.

They have a wide range of delicious breakfast options including smoothie bowls, bliss cups made with chia pudding, and if you prefer a savoury breakfast, you can go for a veggie sandwich, wrap, or other tasty plant-based dishes.

VER DE SIARGAO BREAKFAST

This is a vegan restaurant you absolutely must visit in Siargao. They have amazing breakfast options. If you prefer savoury breakfasts, you can choose between a chickpea omelette or tofu scramble.

For something sweet, they offer whole grain pancakes, gluten-free waffles, or smoothie bowls. Their coffee and smoothies are also worth a try.

SAINT THOMAS COFFEE

This is a beautiful coffee shop that’s worth visiting just for the vibes, especially if you are a coffee lover like me. I am not sure if they offer any vegan breakfast options, but they do serve an excellent iced oat milk cappuccino.

SHANTI SHANTY CAFE SIARGAO

This breakfast spot and bakery is known for its amazing sourdough. It is not fully vegan, but you can still find some options. Their overnight oats are great, and you can also have bread with nut butter or a veggie sandwich—just ask them to leave out the cheese.

HAPINESS RESTAURANT SIARGAO

This restaurant is not vegan, but you can find one good option. For breakfast, they offer vegan banana oatmeal pancakes with coconut sauce. Their coffee with oat milk is also worth trying.

GREEN VAWES CAFÉ BREAKFAST

If you’ve run out of places to try and want a vegan smoothie bowl, this café is a good choice.

HOW TO GET AROUND SIARGAO?

There are a few ways to get around Siargao. The easiest is to rent a motorbike. We rented one through our accommodation, Kaimana Resort, but there are plenty of motorbike rentals available around the island.

->You can also rent a motorbike before arriving on the island here!

If your accommodation in Siargao is in a good location, somewhere near General Luna, you will be able to walk to most bars and vegan restaurants. So, if you are not comfortable riding a motorbike, walking is your best option.

There are also a lot of tuk-tuk drivers on the island, but I am not sure how expensive they can be.

HOW TO GET FROM THE SAYAK AIRPORT TO GENERAL LUNA?

Getting from Sayak Airport to General Luna is very easy. As soon as you collect your luggage and exit the airport building, you will find shared shuttle vans waiting to take you to your accommodation for a fixed price.

To get back to the airport, ask your accommodation to book a ride for you. You can also book your shuttle in advance through Klook. That way, you will have a guaranteed seat and less stress, leaving more time to enjoy the sunshine in your bikini!

Our initial plan was to enjoy the island for five days, but we extended our stay to nine days because it was so beautiful and relaxing.

Holbox has amazing beaches. The sand is white and soft, the ocean is calm, stunning, and turquoise in color. The water is shallow and super warm. It is a great place to watch pelicans enjoy this tropical paradise.

HOW TO GET AROUND HOLBOX ISLAND

All roads in Holbox Island are made from sand, and that gives the place the feeling of a true paradise. Roads like that also have some disadvantages, because there is no drainage, so when it rains, there are formed a lot of deep puddles are formed that you have to find your way around.

There are no cars on Holbox, only once a week when there are deliveries. Because of that a vacation there is even more relaxing.

You can go around the island with a rented golf cart or take a golf cart taxi. The taxis there have fixed prices from the port to every hotel on the island, so you do not have to bargain for a better price.

But the best way to explore Holbox Island is simply on foot or by renting a bike for a day or two.

If you want to experience something exciting, you can take the Guided sunrise kayak tour through Mangrove Reserve. 

HOLBOX ISLAND’S BEST VEGAN BREAKFAST RESTAURANTS

There are a few breakfast restaurants on the island, but not all of them have vegan options. Here are our best recommendations.

KUXTAL MARKET & CAFE – BEST BREAKFAST

Kuxtal Cafe is one of the best places to have breakfast or brunch. The cafe is open from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM every day and is located in the heart of Holbox. The restaurant is super cute with island vibes and very friendly staff, and there is also a sustainable market. 

As you may already know, not all vegan restaurants are always the healthiest, but at Kuxtal Cafe all vegetables are organic, and they care about the quality of the ingredients. Even their coffee is organic!

There are amazing vegan options for breakfast, and some of the dishes are also gluten-free. One of the best things to order is a panini with grilled veggies, vegan cheese, and pesto.

You have to try their tofu scramble with quinoa, chaya, and mushrooms. Other options are falafel wrap or the prettiest avocado toast. You can also have vegan chia pudding.

I love to have my breakfast with fresh cold-pressed juice for a healthy vitamin boost in the morning, and my favourite at Kuxtal Cafe is their detox juice. 

You can’t miss Sunday’s brunch at Kuxtal Cafe. The brunch includes black coffee, one dish from the menu, and unlimited mimosas. What more can you wish for on a perfect Sunday on Holbox Island?

PAINAPOL RESTAURANT HOLBOX VEGAN BREAKFAST

One of our favourite places to have a delicious and fresh vegan breakfast on Holbox is Painapol. The restaurant is not vegan, but it offers a variety of breakfasts, and you can also eat lunch there. The place is very Instagram-friendly with cute island decor and photogenic food.

It is the most popular breakfast restaurant on the island, so you must be early, otherwise, you will have to wait for a table in the hot sun, but I have to say that it is worth the wait.

The staff is very friendly, and they make you feel at home. One thing I love about this restaurant is that the portion sizes are big. 

They offer smoothie bowls and smoothie jars, which are all vegan (Yaay). You can also have fruit salad, fresh juices, avocado toast, salad, guacamole, and a vegan breakfast platter, and they have plant milk for coffee. Painapol is the restaurant you cannot miss on Holbox Island.

ANOTHER CLANDESTINO HOLBOX VEGAN BREAKFAST

Another Clandestino on Holbox is a very modern coffee shop, and it gives more of a fancy city coffee shop vibe than a tropical island vibe. It gives you a feeling of what the island will probably look like in the future because it is becoming more and more popular and touristy.

I liked their little outdoor sitting area for breakfast and their plant-based smoothie bowls and coffee. They offer Mango and berries, Mango and pineapple, Cacao, and Spirulina smoothie bowls. Spirulina was my favorite.

They also have different toasts, but we only tried avocado toast, and it was very good. You can also have almond butter & berries toast for breakfast, which I believe is also vegan. In the coffee shop, you can buy cute handmade mugs.

One thing you must know about Holbox is that the internet is not the best on the island. Do not expect to have very good Wi-Fi even in fancy coffee shops.

RESTAURANTE NARANJAS ON HOLBOX

Restaurante Naranjas Holbox is a cute, colorful restaurant. It offers some vegan breakfast options like smoothie bowls and coffee with coconut milk. The service is a little bit slow, but on vacation, you usually do not have to hurry anywhere. 

They offer four different smoothie bowls, and I tried Green Life one and it was very good. It was not the best on the island, but it was great to change things up a little bit.

One thing that I did not know before coming to Mexico is that everything is easier if you speak Spanish. Before you travel to Mexico, when being vegan try and learn some words like cheese and meat. It will be easier for you to explain what you do not want in your meal.

In Mexico and probably in all countries with the Spanish language, they pronounce vegan with a B, so the word you hear is began. 

HOTEL LA PALAPA ON HOLBOX VEGAN BREAKFAST

We stayed at Hotel La Palapa, and I am so happy that we did. The location is the best on the island because it is right on the beach. Other hotels on Holbox have a road between them and the beach, or the beach is not so nice.

It has just enough sunbeds for all the guests, and it is within walking distance of basically everything. It is on the main walking beach path, so a lot of people walk by. Especially at the time of sunset, but it did not bother us at all.

We stayed in the Top Floor King Room, and we loved it. You can check the prices here. The room has panoramic windows, and the views are breathtaking. The hotel has a beachy, island vibe and décor. The bathroom even has shells for faucets, so showering was fun.

One thing you have to get used to on Holbox is the lack of hot water in the shower. But who really needs hot water in tropical weather? What I loved about this hotel is that they made us a vegan breakfast!

On their regular breakfast menu, you can have a fruit platter, but if you have a big appetite, even some fruit is usually not enough. They made us a special vegan breakfast – tortilla chips with vegetables and avocado. It was amazing! They also made us vegan toasted sandwiches.

I am still dreaming about this breakfast. It was toast with freshly grilled vegetables and salad, plus some caramelized banana. The only thing that I was missing was coconut, soy, or almond milk for my morning coffee.

ARTE SANO VEGAN RESTAURANT ON HOLBOX

Arte Sano restaurant is one of our favorite vegan lunch spots on the island. You can also have breakfast there. We did not have a chance to go there for breakfast, but I am sure that it is delicious.

They offer a vegan breakfast package that includes water, coffee, or fruit. You can choose between chilaquiles, enmoladas, quesadillas, tacos, or vegan pancakes.

You can check the whole menu Arte Sano restaurant here. They have a cozy outdoor eating area in the back of the restaurant.

Holbox is spectacular. We are happy that we have had the chance to travel and experience this island. I think there will be more and more vegan restaurants opening in the future.

Right now, there are a lot of vegan options considering the size of the island. I really cannot express how amazing Holbox is and how badly I would like to go back there in the future.

If you are visiting Mexico, put Holbox on your bucket list and visit it for a few nights.
