Awake Siargao: Siargao, Philippines 🏄🇵🇭

11/10 Retreat! For someone who loves sports this was the perfect retreat. From having never surfed before this retreat gives you individual coaching, multiple surf spots, uncrowded and in one of the the most stunning/serene locations in the world. Alongside the surf there are options to do Yoga/Crossfit and ice baths creating a full wellness experience. the staff as well as the quests are all very friendly making it a pleasant experience beyond the sports. All in all, if I get the opportunity to go back I would do it again and I would be the first to recommend this retreat for others visiting Siargao.

We had such a great time at Awake Retreat in Siargao and loved the combination of surf, CrossFit, yoga and ice baths. We surfed uncrowded breaks each day and the coaches were committed to our progress. We loved that every detail of the week was organised for us, so all we had to do was show up and have a great time. Rem is a fantastic host, super easy to hang out with, and our coaches Estong and Jason are the best in the business. Already thinking about when we can come back!

I am completely mindblown from my 2 weeks adventure with Awake Siargao. I can tell you right now that I will be back in October 2026 for SURE! Rem, the founder, creator and owner, is simply delightful. So welcoming, friendly, responsive, cheerful… Out here, I have no only found a second home, but I met an amazing friend.

How not to mention the quality of the waves, and the quality of my coach!!! I have never been able to progress as much in my entire life in such a short period of time. His experience, deep understanding of the waves, and acute attention and comprehension of the the tinyest details that you can do to improve your surfing is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

I wish I would never leave this Island! The Siargaonun people are so freaking kind, loving and respectful!

On top of it, the Villa, Muni-Muni, is simply a Gem! So well positioned, with immense comfortable room, beds, and soo well decorated. The common areas include an amazing pool surrenders with palm trees, a yoga terrace, a fabulous café and the Neverland restaurant. The staff are beyond helpful and there is security 24/7. They make EVERYTHING in order for you to feel at ease and to make sure your stay will be as memorable as possible.

There is AC, a huge shower separated from the toilet, a nice desk to work… All of that in your room.

If I could give 1000 stars out of 5, I would. I am from Canada and I will not hesitate one second to come back next fall and make the long trip to come here again and again.

With all my heart, thank you soooo much to everyone that made my stay nothing less than perfect! Love you Rem and Estong! Viva Awake Siargao!!! Lily xoxo
