This retreat was definitely one for the books. I had an amazing time throughout the 7-day stay. I initially joined the retreat to accompany my girlfriend for her birthday trip, but I think I might have enjoyed it even more than she did haha. Rem was a fantastic host and not to forget her co host, Manu!—always checking in with us and ensuring our comfort by adjusting the itinerary to suit everyone. This flexibility was great, as we never felt we were tied to a fixed schedule.

The one-on-one surfing lessons were excellent, and I really appreciated the consistent feedback from the instructors after each set. Plus, the sick drone shots of your surf session, which you get to keep!

Surfing, great food, nature, community, scooters—Awake Siargao Retreat offers it all on the paradise island of Siargao. I would highly recommend this retreat, 10/10!
