A Transformative Sanctuary in the Heart of the Philippines' Island of Healing
Project Story
The Vision
Nestled on one pristine hectare of untouched jungle in Siquijor, Philippines, the Siquijor Mystical Retreat is not just another wellness destination—it’s a portal to transformation. Here, seven generations of healing wisdom merge with sustainable luxury to create an experience that doesn’t just refresh your body, but awakens your soul.
The Journey Begins
Your transformation starts with a sacred 10-minute walk through the jungle. No vehicles can reach our sanctuary—this intentional threshold marks your transition from the chaos of modern life to the peace of ancient wisdom. Each step takes you deeper into a world where time slows, phones fall silent, and healing begins.
What Makes Us Different
– The Only Authentic Healing Retreat in the Philippines – Direct partnership with Siquijor Traditional Healers Association
– Digital Detox – If needed, we help our guests to fully leave the digital world behind during their stay.
– Remote by Design – The 10-minute jungle walk isn’t inconvenient; it’s therapeutic
– Sustainable Sanctuary – 90% local materials, zero plastic, carbon-negative operations
– Cultural Preservation – Every stay supports traditional healers and their apprentices
This project offers you a chance to own a piece of paradise. Most wellness projects rely on massive bank loans or corporate investors. However, we choose to build our sanctuary with our community. Consequently, we avoid high interest rates and corporate pressure. This allows us to offer you deep discounts of up to 50% off future rates. Therefore, you are not just a guest; you are a partner in our success.
Complete Transparency and Asset Security Why is our Siquijor Retreat Crowdfunding Investment safer than standard bookings? First, we already own the land with a verified title. We have no lease risks or mortgage debt. Furthermore, we provide monthly photo updates of our construction progress. Specifically, we guarantee a partial opening by December 2026. If we do not reach full funding, we still build with what we have. In addition, our physical address is open for you to visit anytime. Indeed, we believe in total transparency for our founding members.
Unbeatable Returns and Flexibility Your Siquijor Retreat Crowdfunding Investment is designed to grow in value. Currently, a ₱50,000 contribution secures ₱84,000 in accommodation value. As market rates rise, your returns could exceed 280%. Moreover, we provide maximum flexibility for your credits.
Transferable: You can give your nights to family or friends.
Sellable: You can sell your credits to others for cash.
Convertible: Change your stay credits into spa or healing services. Consequently, your money is never “stuck” in a single booking.
Join the Authentic Healing Movement Our Siquijor Retreat Crowdfunding Investment protects the soul of the island. We work directly with the Siquijor Traditional Healers Association. By funding us directly, you ensure we stay authentic. We do not answer to corporate boards who want mass tourism. Instead, we focus on intimate groups of just 16 guests. In short, your investment preserves heritage and rewards your future self. Finally, you secure your place on our permanent Founders’ Wall. Join us and discover the power of community-backed wellness.
