We highlight the experience of being close to nature in all its beautiful, yet raw, splendor. While you’re suspending the comforts of city luxuries, you’ll be welcomed with stunning views and direct access to the ocean.

You will be staying in beachfront accommodations in Nacpan Beach. The lodge with sea view balcony, mini garden, and indoor toilet can host up to 4 pax, Php18,995 per person package shared queen beds (two females sharing one queen bed). The cabin without a balcony is smaller, also has its own private bathroom and can host up to 2 pax each, with one queen bed each person. The cabin package costs Php21,995 per person given that only two people will be sharing, and have their own queen beds.

The venue is an eco-friendly resort which is solar-powered 24/7. There is no airconditioning however, there are fans and the lodge and cabins were designed to be cool even during the day and at night, given its location, gets the gentle breeze from the ocean. Signing up for this retreat means you are signing up to stay in a natural environment and not a luxury resort. As we are surrounded by nature, one must accept that we are subject to nature’s elements.

There is no signal in the property given the mountain behind us blocking the signal. However, there is satellite wifi for guest’s convenience which can be used for communications.

Given the setup of shared rooms, males may book in the nearby Nacpan Glamping/Hotel, Angkla, or Seaside Hue Resort, all a few minutes away by walk on the beach. We will be discounting Php8,000 off the package for those who will be booking elsewhere but joining us for the retreat. The same applies to El Nido residents who want to join.
