The group will stay in traditional nipa-style cabins, located just steps from the shoreline of Puraran Beach. Each private room is air-conditioned and features an en-suite bathroom with a refreshing cold-water shower, aligning with a simple but comfortable remote island lifestyle. Accommodation is part of a wider community living environment. Travelers share social areas with fellow participants and staff, including a yoga space, beach-volleyball court, surfboard racks, and a communal station with a water filter and complimentary coffee and tea. To encourage a deep disconnect, Wi-Fi is limited to common areas.
As it's located in a remote location, it’s important to give some context. The water system works through a pump that collects and fills the tanks. Especially during the summer season, water flow can sometimes be slower, which may result in lower pressure in the showers. There can also occasionally be electricity interruptions during summer, as the power is hydro-based and managed by the local provider. It’s part of island life, but the host will always do their best to manage it properly and inform guests in advance.
The group will stay in a shared dormitory just steps from the shoreline of Puraran Beach, featuring comfortable bunk beds and shared bathroom facilities with refreshing cold-water showers, reflecting the simple yet comfortable lifestyle of a remote island retreat.
Travelers have access to shared social spaces, including a yoga area, a beach volleyball court, surfboard racks, and a communal station with a water filter and complimentary coffee and tea. To encourage a deeper disconnect, Wi-Fi is available only in the common areas.
Three fresh meals a day keep energy high. Breakfast is à la carte: tropical fruit bowls, eggs or fluffy pancakes with local coffee. A light, packable lunch fuels midday adventures. Evenings bring family-style buffets cooked by partner-restaurant chefs, spotlighting just-caught seafood and classic Bicolano dishes; vegetarian-friendly selections are always on the table.
The group will arrive at Virac Airport (VRC) and connect with the driver, who will take everyone straight on the 40-minute drive to the retreat. Please note that Cebu Pacific is the only airline operating this daily route from Manila, departing at 7:55 AM and arriving at 9:05 AM. To catch it, your international flight must land in Manila very early that morning or the day before. At departure, a direct return shuttle to the airport is included to sync with the 9:55 AM flight out of Virac. Travelers opting for different flight times must arrange a private transfer at their own cost. Full details are in your program guide once your spot is confirmed!
Founded in 2023 by a lifelong Catandungan surfer who grew up a few steps from the reef, this women-led collective now unites certified coaches, guides and organizers. Their mission: empower new wave-riders while creating fair-wage jobs across the island. Deep community roots ensure every peso spent benefits local families and the coastal environment they protect.
Puraran Beach sits on the emerald-fringed east coast of Catanduanes—nicknamed the “Happy Island” for its laid-back vibe and year-round sunshine. Famous for the barreling “Majestic” reef break and dramatic limestone headlands, the area remains blissfully crowd-free. Expect crystal water, coconut groves, friendly fisherfolk and an authentic taste of provincial Philippine life.
By spotlighting female athletes and channeling tourism revenue into locally owned businesses, the retreat tackles the lack of opportunities for women and youth on Catanduanes. Each booking funds surf-coach training, beach clean-ups and cultural workshops, creating a ripple effect of confidence, skills and sustainable income for an emerging island community.
Travelers directly support local jobs, from surf coaches and cooks to guides and hosts. Every booking helps build a more resilient economy in Puraran, where tourism becomes a force for good through fair wages, skill development, and local pride.
By supporting a women-led surf retreat, travelers help challenge gender norms in surf and tourism. This experience champions equal opportunity and celebrates inclusive leadership in a space where women are empowered to lead, teach, and thrive.
Daily surf and yoga sessions boost travelers’ mental and physical health while promoting a wellness culture in the local community. These shared practices foster confidence, body awareness, and a deeper connection to nature for everyone involved.
