Cultural Treasures and Natural Wonders

The Philippines boasts a rich tapestry of cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. From the bustling city of Manila to the pristine beaches of Palawan, and the mecca of underwater treasures in Dauin, the cultural diversity is as awe-inspiring as the natural beauty. Explore historical sites like the walled city of Intramuros, immerse yourself in local festivals, and discover the world-class diving spots in the coral-rich waters. Delve into Filipino traditions and connect with the warm-hearted locals to experience the heart and soul of the Philippines.

Best Time to Visit

The Philippines enjoys a tropical climate with two distinct seasons: dry and wet. The dry season, from November to April, is considered the best time to visit when you can relish sunny days and comfortable temperatures. Having said that, we have travelled in the Philippines at all times of the year, and every time has been wonderful. If you are into scuba diving, then some parts of the country will not be best for diving at certain times of the year, while others enjoy brilliant conditions year-round, e.g. Dauin in the Visayas region.

Embrace the rejuvenating energy of the Philippines through a variety of retreat experiences.

Indulge in traditional healing therapies and spa treatments, allowing the natural surroundings to enhance your wellness journey.

Don’t miss the chance to explore the underwater world with snorkeling and diving activities, immersing yourself in vibrant marine life. (We thoroughly recommend Apo Island and the Dauin coast, which is on the doorstep of the number 1 retreat Venue, Salaya Beach Houses).
