Question: When was the last time a hotel gave you 68% ROI for booking early?

We Have Perfect Options for Every Budget

₱29,250 EXPLORER PACKAGE – Best Value for Money

  • 3 nights (worth ₱39,000)
  • Use over multiple trips
  • Airport transfers included
  • Personalized healing consultation
  • Name on physical Founders’ Wall


CAN’T AFFORD FULL PAYMENT?

Option 1: Team up! Share a ₱50,400 package with a friend (₱25,200 each, 3 nights each)
Option 2: Payment plan – ₱10,000 now, balance over 3 months (only for Filipino citizens)

PERSPECTIVE CHECK:

  • You spend ₱25,000 on gadgets that depreciate
  • You spend ₱25,000 on clothes you wear twice
  • You spend ₱25,000 on weekend trips you forget

This ₱25,000 creates memories, transformation, and actually APPRECIATES in value.

Maximum Flexibility Built In

Your nights are MORE flexible than any hotel booking:

  • Valid for 1-5 years (not just 12 months)
  • Fully transferable to family and friends
  • Splittable – use 2 nights here, 3 nights there
  • Sellable – transfer to another person for cash
  • Convertible – change to spa credits or merchandise
  • Extendable – add 2 years validity for just ₱5,000

Better than refund: If you can’t use them, sell them at market rate (₱12,000/night) and make a profit on your ₱8,400/night investment!

Emergency Clause: Medical emergency or visa denial = full credit toward future stay or 70% cash refund.

COVID-Proof Protection Built In

Force Majeure Protection:

  • Pandemic Lockdown: Automatically extend validity by length of closure
  • Personal COVID: Free rebooking with doctor’s note
  • Travel Bans: Full credit extended until borders reopen
  • Natural Disasters: Automatic 2-year extension

Plus New Safety Standards:

  • Maximum 16 guests (not 100+)
  • Individual kubos (natural distancing)
  • Outdoor dining and activities
  • Hospital-grade sanitization
  • Healer health practices (they survived centuries of epidemics)

Innovation: If locked down, access exclusive virtual retreats with healers (₱2,000 value monthly).

Historical Note: Siquijor had the LOWEST COVID rates in Philippines (island protection + traditional medicine).

We Choose Community Over Corporations

We actually REJECTED:

  • Bank loan approved for ₱15M at 12% interest (would add ₱5M to costs = higher prices for you)
  • Hotel chain offer of ₱25M (wanted to build 20 rooms, not our intimate 8)
  • Private investors offering ₱30M (demanded 51% ownership and mass tourism)

Why Crowdfunding is BETTER:

  • You get 40-60% discount vs future rates
  • We maintain authentic vision (not corporate-ized)
  • Creates ambassador community (you’re invested in our success)
  • No debt = lower operating costs = better experience
  • Direct relationship with guests before we open

Truth: We want guests who believe in our mission, not passive investors seeking only profit.

We Studied Every Failure & Built Differently

Why Others Failed vs Why We’ll Succeed:

Others Failed Because

We Succeed Because

No land (just concepts)

We OWN the land

No experience

10+ years in hospitality

Mass market (100+ rooms)

Intimate scale (8 kubos)

High prices (₱20K+/night)

Accessible (₱10-15K all-inclusive)

Generic wellness

Exclusive healer partnership

Remote location unknown

Siquijor is trending destination

Needed ₱50M+

Only need ₱18M

That’s Exactly Why You’ll Love It

Siquijor is NOT Boracay or Palawan (and that’s the point):

  • No traffic, no malls, no Starbucks
  • Just 100,000 residents on entire island
  • 30 minutes from any point to another
  • Clearest water in Philippines (certified)
  • Zero crime rate against tourists (police verified)

Still Worried? Our Guarantee: “First Timer Promise” – If on your first morning you don’t wake up feeling more peaceful than you have in years, we’ll help you transfer to another island resort and convert your remaining nights to spa credits you can gift to someone else.

Statistics: 94% of Siquijor visitors return or extend their stay (Department of Tourism data).

Secret: The “hard to get to” location is a feature, not a bug. It filters out party tourists and attracts seekers like you.

  • Traditional healers: Signed 5-year exclusive contract
  • All-inclusive: Legally defined in Terms (all meals, activities specified)
  • Room quality: Exact specifications in contract (king bed, ensuite bath, etc.)

Visualizing the Future of Siquijor We use advanced AI and 3D renderings because our sanctuary is currently in the pre-construction phase. Specifically, these visuals represent our exact architectural plans and design intent. Since we are a community-funded project, we use these tools to show you the finished vision before we break ground. Consequently, you can see the aesthetic and spiritual atmosphere we are creating. This approach allows us to share our vision without spending millions on traditional photography before the project is fully backed.


From Digital Concept to Physical Reality
Is the project just a digital dream? Absolutely not. First, the land for Siquijor Retreat is already 100% owned and titled. We have already conducted site surveys and finalized our floor plans with professional architects. Furthermore, these AI renderings are based on our real site dimensions and local building materials. Therefore, they act as a precise blueprint for our construction team. In addition, we provide monthly photo updates of the actual land progress. This ensures you can track the transition from these beautiful concepts to the real physical buildings.


Transparency and Investor Protection
Why should you trust a project that uses renderings? Most luxury developments use 3D visualizations to secure pre-sales. However, we choose AI because it is faster and more flexible for our community. For example, we can iterate on design ideas based on founder feedback. Meanwhile, your investment is protected by our clear milestones. We only release funds as specific construction stages are met. Consequently, the AI images serve as a “contract of quality” for what we will deliver. Finally, we invite all backers to visit the land in person to see the foundation of our future together.
