At Kermit, we bring together authentic Italian cuisine, cozy accommodations, surf experiences, and heartfelt Filipino hospitality — creating a space where travelers, locals, surfers, and friends can feel at home.
Surf. Dine. Commune.

Authentic Italian pizzas, handmade pastas, and comforting dishes crafted with passion and meant for sharing.
COMMUNE
More than a place to visit, Kermit is a gathering space for stories, friendships, music, culture, and shared experiences.
Life at Kermit
Days here move differently. Mornings start with coffee and waves. Afternoons are for long lunches and island adventures. Nights end around the table with pizza, music, laughter, and familiar faces.
Whether you're staying for a weekend or a season, Kermit welcomes you like family.
Italian Soul, Filipino Heart
Our kitchen is rooted in authentic Italian tradition and shaped by the warmth and generosity of Filipino hospitality.
Every pizza is wood-fired. Every pasta is made with care. Every table is meant to bring people together.
WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING
“It was the 4th visit to Siargao and 1st visit to Kermit. I decided to stay at Kermit because I saw a Gwapitos instructor giving a surf lesson at sea on my last visit and it was a pretty good teaching. The whole experience at Kermit was perfect, including pleasant bedding, room conditions, swimming pool, meals, surf lessons. In particular, I would like to thank the manager Josh and my instructor Sally. I am currently diagnosed with cancer and I don't know when I can go again. I hope I can go to Siargao, the island I really love. If that happens, I will stay at Kermit again. Thank you.”

" Siargao is addictive.
The first time I stayed 4 days. The second time, almost a year later I stayed for 10 days. Still not enough. After a week in Siargao I considered buying a piece of land there. I just thought to myself: Why not? Maybe I could stay forever...? ..."
