FROM THE AIRPORT

Most people who come to Bahay Kalipay are not looking for yoga. They are looking for permission to stop. We are the first raw food and yoga retreat in Asia, a quiet mountain home above the sea. However long you stay, the shape of it is the same: living food, gentle movement, deep rest, and time in nature. The time is yours.

The food is what people talk about afterward

Some would rather learn to make it than only remember it. The Living Kitchen is a three-day raw food chef course, taught by Daniw Arrazola and the resident chefs who prepare it here every day.

“My nine-day detox stay felt nurturing, healthy, transformative and memorable. I highly recommend, and hope to go back again.”

Robin Gurney

“I left feeling rested and refreshed. If you are looking for a retreat that is deeply and truly nature-immersed and rooted in local living, this is a great option.”

Selena Burrell

“I was looking for some peace and quiet and some me time, and found just that here. Daniw and her lovely team made me feel ever so welcome.”

A quiet word

Why Bahay Kalipay

We share this quietly, only because you are choosing. Our raw food is prepared by chefs who hold Level 3 certification, and Daniw Arrazola, our co-founder, still runs the kitchen herself. Our mountain home overlooks forest and sea, twenty minutes from Puerto Princesa International Airport. None of this is said to impress you, only so you know you are in experienced and gentle hands.

When you are ready

Not sure where to begin?

Tell us where you are and what you are hoping for, and we will point you to the retreat that genuinely fits, even if that means a shorter or a gentler one. We answer every message personally, usually within a day. The right retreat is simply the one that holds you well.

We would love for that to be us, but more than anything we hope you find the rest you are looking for, here or wherever feels right.
