WHAT WE ORGANIZED
We curated an exclusive, all-inclusive journey for a group of 12 guests:
Arrival in Manila, followed by a private jet transfer to Siargao for a six-day stay at the luxurious Nay Palad Hideaway.
From Siargao, guests boarded another private jet to Busuanga, where they embarked on two private yachts — the Princess Iolanthe and a Sunreef 60.
We arranged boho-style island camps across several remote locations, including private rentals of Kayangan Lake, Camp NgeyNgey, and Smith Beach.
For New Year’s Eve, we secured the exclusive rental of Malcapuya Island, transforming it with a full boho lounge and dining setup. The evening featured a curated program with local artists, musicians, fire dancers, and a traditional Tiniki cultural performance.
After exploring the Linapacan islands and El Nido, the group was transferred to the five-star Pangulasian Island Resort for a few days of relaxation.
The journey concluded with a commercial flight back to Manila, a stay at Shangri-La at The Fort, and transfer to the international airport.
