Mambajao Hotels 2026: 30 Real Stays From £9

Our top Camiguin base for 2026 is Camiguin Lanzones Resort for its 405 guest reviews and beach setting — but the real story of Camiguin is that there is no expensive way to stay here. This is the best hotels in Camiguin for every budget guide, and on this small volcanic island "every budget" means one thing: cheap. Rooms start at £9 a night, and all 30 hotels in this guide are real, distinct, currently bookable guesthouses and small beach resorts — every one in or around Mambajao, every one linking straight to its live prices. There is no luxury tier to pad out, and we won't pretend otherwise: Camiguin is an island of homestays and family-run cottages, wallet-friendly by nature, which is exactly why it's one of the best-value island escapes in the Philippines.

Camiguin is nicknamed the Island Born of Fire — a teardrop of green in the Bohol Sea north of Mindanao, built by seven volcanoes and small enough to circle by scooter in an afternoon. Off its north coast lies White Island, an uninhabited pure-white sandbar with the Hibok-Hibok volcano as its backdrop (the very view in the photo above). Round the coast are the eerie Sunken Cemetery with its lone white cross standing out at sea, the spring-fed Sto. Niño Cold Spring, the 76-metre plunge of Katibawasan Falls, and lanzones groves whose sweet fruit gets its own festival each October.

All 30 stays below are pulled from live availability, priced from real midweek searches, with no markups and no booking fees.
