Welcome to Mad Monkey Panglao, your tropical hideout for long afternoons by the pool and nights that tend to start with “just one drink.” Join The Meet Up every evening at 7pm and turn strangers into your night's crew over half-price beers. Come alone, leave together. Bring your A-game to Monday Pub Quiz, test your luck at Thursday Bingo Night, and meet new people at our Saturday Foam Party. Known for its lively atmosphere and social energy, Mad Monkey Panglao has become the go-to spot for travellers looking to mix island adventure with good food, great people, and a little bit of chaos. Before the night is over, chances are you'll have made plans for tomorrow with an entirely new crew.Beyond the hostel, Panglao serves up some of the Philippines' most spectacular natural wonders. Watch dolphins race at sunrise, snorkel vibrant reefs around Balicasag Island, explore the crystal-clear waters of Hinagdanan Cave, or head inland to see the Chocolate Hills and the island’s famous tarsiers. Between beach days, island-hopping trips, and ATV adventures, there's always another story waiting to happen. And when the sun finally sets, retreat to our air-conditioned dorms and private rooms, complete with privacy curtains on every dorm bed, and recharge for whatever comes next.
