Earthy Surf

Find your rhythm by the water

Philippines General Luna donation

Siargao’s ocean-facing rhythm sets the tone at Earthy Surf, where women’s retreats bring surf, yoga, time outdoors, and shared adventure together. The experience grew from a sustainable swimwear brand into gatherings designed to make room for movement, connection, and a slower pace. At Punta Punta Surf Retreat, the setting leans into simple pleasures by the water, with a pool and yoga studio alongside a cafe and restaurant. It’s a natural fit for travelers who want their retreat to include saltwater and community as well as time on the mat. Meals can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free preferences. The center runs by donation, so check with the host about what a particular retreat includes and how to contribute. For travel, the retreat’s directions point guests to Siargao’s IAO airport, with connections through Manila or Cebu.

Setting

Punta Punta Surf Retreat is shaped around outdoor living and time by the water. The atmosphere is sunny and unfussy, with a pool, yoga studio, cafe, and restaurant supporting a relaxed retreat rhythm.

The practice

The retreat’s emphasis is embodied rather than tied to a named meditation school: surf, yoga, time outdoors, and connection with other women shape the experience. Yoga and surfing are presented as ways to reconnect with the body and ocean. Session formats and experience levels vary by retreat, so ask the host what a particular gathering includes.

A typical day

Daily structure varies by retreat. Expect the experience to bring together some combination of surf, yoga, time outdoors, and shared moments with the group; confirm the schedule for your dates with the host.

Accommodation

Rooms have air-conditioning, and the property also lists Wi-Fi, towels, a kitchen, and housekeeping. Room types and sleeping arrangements vary or need confirmation with the host.

What to bring

Pack breathable clothing, swimwear, sun protection, and comfortable layers for yoga and outdoor time. The annual average temperature is 26.7°C; April, March, and December are among the driest months, while September through November are wetter, so a light rain layer can be useful.
