The Best Health, Surf And Yoga Retreats In The Philippines

Connecting you with your dream retreat is what I love to do.

And part of that is tipping you off about the less talked about wellness destinations that we think will far exceed your expectations.

So, what’ve you heard about yoga retreats in the Philippines? Probably not all that much. But that’s about to change!

We’ve compiled a list of top retreats and yoga resorts in this warm and welcoming — and incredibly beautiful — country.

Why choose the Philippines as a yoga retreat destination?

First of all, if you haven’t already, hit Google Images and look at some photos of the Philippines.

In particular, check out Palawan, El Nido, Siargao and La Union.

A picture speaks a thousand words, and once you’ve seen how beautiful these places are, you’ll probably want to secure your place on a Philippine yoga retreat ASAP.

But the reasons to make this your retreat destination go a lot deeper than looks. Pristine beaches are coupled with great waves for surfing — including plenty of ideal spots for beginners.

And yoga teachers here are overflowing with experience, while slightly removed from the intensity of Instagram Yoga in more popular retreat locations like Thailand or Bali.

You’ll find authenticity and warmth. And as more yoga retreats set up home here, you’ll find something to suit your budget and required level of luxury; whether you’re looking for a back-to-basics spiritual immersion or a pampering spa experience.
