Our Signature Travel Package

The Filipino Living Experience

Two all-inclusive weeks of Filipino cultural immersion, self-healing, and slower travel — where guests can really get to know the people, the place, and the culture.

Slow Travel, Deep Roots

Live the island, don't just visit it

Our signature travel package caters for more Filipino cultural immersion, self healing, and a slower way of traveling. You won't rush through a checklist — you'll share meals with farming families, learn the crafts of the island, heal with its traditions, and let the days unfold at the pace of breath.

2 Weeks · All-Inclusive · €1,500

What Makes It Different

  • Cultural immersion — live, cook, and work alongside the local community
  • Self healing — daily meditation, yoga, Hilot massage, sauna, and ceremony
  • Slower travel — no rushing, no fixed clock, the rhythm of provincial life

The Itinerary

Two weeks, unhurried

Week One — Arriving & Rooting

Day 1

Arrival & Settling In

Welcome at the pier, a slow walk through the gardens, fresh coconut water, and a sunset welcome circle with your hosts.

Day 2

The Farm Wakes You

Sunrise meditation, morning yoga on the deck, and your first hands-in-the-soil garden practice — then a farm-to-table lunch you helped grow.

Day 3

Village Immersion

Meet the neighbours. Visit the local rice farm, share merienda with a farming family, and learn how the village really lives.

Day 4

Ocean Day

Introduction to snorkeling or freediving in the reef's shallow gardens, with spearfishing stories from the fishermen at dusk.

Day 5

Healing Day

Traditional Hilot healing massage, herbal sauna infused with lemongrass and ginger, and an evening of deep rest.

Day 6

Island Outing

A full-day boat journey to nearby islands and sandbars — swim, snorkel, and share a picnic on the water.

Day 7

Rest & Reflection

A slow tea ceremony as the garden wakes, journaling in the bamboo hall, and free time for hammocks and long conversations.

Week Two — Deepening & Farewell

Day 8

Waterfall Trek

Half-day trek through the mountains to hidden falls — cold mountain pools and lunch beside the water.

Day 9

Cacao & Ceremony

Visit a local cacao farm to see how island chocolate is grown, then return for a heart-opening evening cacao ceremony.

Day 10

Cultural Harvest

Join neighbours for traditional copra harvesting and roasting — learn the crafts that have sustained island families for generations.

Day 11

Community Learning

A day of cooperative building or garden projects, communal cooking, and the deep connection of working the land together.

Day 12

Breath & Sound

Morning breathwork, an afternoon sound-healing journey with gongs and singing bowls, and a sunset meditation.

Day 13

Sunrise Summit

An early hike to a ridge above the haven for sunrise over the sea — the island spread out beneath you.

Day 14

Farewell Circle

A final morning practice, closing circle and shared feast, and a slow transfer back to the pier — carrying the haven with you.

This is the offered rhythm — nothing is compulsory. Rain, festivals, and the unexpected gifts of island life may gently reshape any day.
