Workation in Dumaguete: the essentials
Students set the tone in Dumaguete, a compact city of about 142,000 on the south-east coast of Negros with four large universities. Silliman University, the first Protestant and American university in Asia, shapes the centre, and in 2025 UNESCO named Dumaguete the country's first Creative City of Literature. In the evening people walk along Rizal Boulevard by the sea. Dive trips go out to Apo Island, ferries cross to Siquijor, the hills of Valencia are close behind the city, and Sibulan Airport is about 3 km away. The town beach is not for swimming, and tricycles make the streets noisy.
