Travelers will stay in traditional nipa-style cabins with air-conditioned rooms. All rooms have a private-ensuite bathroom with showers (cold water only). The structure is simple but comfortable, aligned with the remote island setting.
The accommodation is located in a remote area of Philippines, close to Puraran Beach. The property is set in a natural environment, just a few steps from the ocean.
Communal spaces include a water filter station, complimentary coffee and tea, a yoga space, a beach-volleyball court, a surfboard rack, and limited Wi-Fi access in 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.
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.
Arrive at Virac Airport (VRC) via the required Cebu Pacific morning flight from Manila and connect with your driver for a direct transfer to the retreat in Puraran. A direct return transfer back to Virac Airport is also included at departure to sync with the daily morning flight. 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.
Every moment of this experience uplifts the local community: economically, culturally, and emotionally. Travelers support small businesses, connect with locals through surf and shared meals, and help preserve the natural beauty and spirit of Puraran through mindful, meaningful travel.
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.
