Robinsons Hotels & Resorts, the hospitality arm of Robinsons Land Corp., has officially broken ground on Summit Villas Siargao, its first resort on the island, marking the company’s entry into one of the country’s fastest-growing tourist destinations.

Set to open in 2026, Summit Villas Siargao is being developed by Hira Holdings Inc. through Mega Mykon Builders and will be managed by Robinsons Hotels & Resorts under its Summit Hotels and Resorts brand.

The resort will feature 18 standalone villas, each with private amenities and eco-conscious features.

The tropical design and elegant architecture reflect Robinsons Hotels & Resorts and Hira Holdings’ commitment to sustainability as a guiding principle, aligning with the island’s broader efforts to promote sustainable tourism.

“Summit Villas Siargao is more than just a new property — it’s a celebration of the island’s natural beauty, vibrant culture, and rapidly growing tourism appeal,” said Barun Jolly, senior vice president and business unit general manager of Robinsons Hotels & Resorts.

“We are excited to bring the Summit brand’s signature warmth, style, and Filipino brand of excellence to Siargao,” Jolly added.

Located near the island’s popular Cloud 9 surfing area and Tourism Road, the upcoming resort targets the upscale segment of domestic and international travelers seeking higher-end accommodations.

“Summit Villas Siargao reflects our strategy to expand into key leisure destinations while contributing to local tourism growth,” Jolly said.

“We see strong demand for quality hospitality in Siargao, and this development aims to respond to that,” he added.

The project marks Robinsons Hotels & Resorts’ latest move to broaden its portfolio of Summit-branded properties, which currently operate in urban and business hubs across the country.

For Hira Holdings, the development represents its initial venture into the hospitality industry.

“We’re optimistic about the tourism outlook in Siargao,” said Seth Hiranand, managing director of Hira Holdings.

“This project is a long-term investment in the island’s potential as a premier travel destination,” he said.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, Hira Holdings also announced a partnership with Malinao Elementary School to become the local green hub for the resort’s future sustainability programs.

The partnership signals a focus on corporate social responsibility alongside development.

Tourist arrivals in Siargao have steadily increased in recent years, prompting more developers to explore opportunities in the island’s hospitality sector.

Industry stakeholders have emphasized the importance of balancing growth with environmental stewardship as infrastructure and tourism activity ramp up post-pandemic.
