ARRIVAL

Touch down in Siargao, known as the "Surfing Capital of the Philippines". Famous for its Cloud 9 surf spot, stunning resorts, cafes, and lively nightlife, you’ve just landed in paradise. The air is warm. The roads are lined with coconut palms. Feel the shift to island time almost immediately. Meet your transfer at the airport for an included transfer to Siargao Bleu Resort, your sanctuary for the week. Not to toot our own horn, but this place has been hand-picked for the best sea-view on the island, outdoor shower and stone bathtub. Shake off the travel with a grounding yoga flow in the kubo, then ease into the evening with welcome drinks and dinner beneath the palms. New faces. Salty air. Get pumped for the day of surfing ahead tomorrow.

Siargao Bleu Resort & Spa

Welcome to paradise. This 4.5-star haven is nestled on the pristine shores of Siargao Island, and has breathtaking views everywhere you turn. Stay in beachfront villas with a lush spa, set just off the buzz of General Luna. Walkable to Cloud 9, but tucked enough for peace. Post-surf afternoons stretched out by the long pool overlooking the sea.

Tag 2 - 7

Guided Surf Sessions & Yoga Recovery

Six chances to paddle out and chase the good ones. Local surf guides match you with the right breaks each day, mellow waves or something with a little bite if you're ready. Boards, boat transfers and expert eyes in the water all sorted. Your only job: keep paddling. In the afternoons, open-air yoga loosens surf-sore shoulders and resets the body. Stretch, breath and stillness beneath the palms, with the ocean never far away.

Tag 2 - 3

Surf Theory Sessions & Ice Bath

The behind-the-scenes of catching waves. These evening sessions break down the stuff you don’t see on Instagram: reading swell lines, positioning, timing your paddle, and the quiet etiquette that keeps everyone smiling in the lineup. Then a quick plunge. Cold water, deep breaths, and a surprising post-dip high that makes the rest of the day feel easy.

Day 3 & 6: Drone Video Coaching

Nothing humbles (or motivates) quite like seeing your surf from above. Drone footage gets replayed with the crew so you can spot what’s working, tweak what’s not, and celebrate the moment you actually looked like a surfer.

Tag 4

Afam Bridge Sunset

Golden hour, Siargao style. Locals and travellers gather on the bridge as the sky turns ridiculous shades of orange. Cold drinks in hand, music somewhere nearby, and the island slowing down around you.

Tag 5

Movie Night Dinner

A laid-back evening back at the resort. Good food, a surf flick on the screen, and the kind of easy laughs that happen when everyone’s sun-tired and salty.

Tag 6

Massage Therapy

A full-body massage at Sirena Spa to melt away paddle fatigue and bring the body back online before the final surf sessions.

Tag 7

Farewell Dinner at L’Osteria

One last meal with the crew. Wood-fired pizzas, good wine, and stories from the week — wipeouts, breakthroughs, and the waves you’ll be talking about long after you leave the island.

Tag 8

Departure

Breakfast by the ocean. Slow, salty air and the quiet feeling that comes after a big week. Return your boards. Zip your bags. Included airport transfers roll out and you head back to Sayak. Leave Siargao sun-tired, surf-sore, and already plotting how to get back. Islands like this have a habit of sticking with you.
