Banahaw Circle Nature Retreat

The Banahaw Circle Nature Retreat is a beautiful space tucked within the heart of Sta Lucia. Ideal place to get away, meditate, reflect, find yourself. Service was wonderful with very friendly staff. The food was amazing and bountiful and all the produce down to the drinking water is sourced from local farmers and springs etc. The tours were amazing, with very knowledgable and passionate guides to take you through all the puwestos. If you want to reinvigorate the magic and wonder in your life. This mountain and retreat are definitly worth the visit. I felt very welcome; by the owners, the staff, the locals, and the spirits, and am very grateful for the experience. Love and Light.

Wonderful place. Right at the foot of Mt Banahaw where you can go hiking in the mountain & visit the pwestos with a local guide. The place is beautiful & our venue for our yoga chakra balancing & sound bathing conducted by Ms. Rosan Cruz. The food is very delicious & the staff is very attentive & solicitous

Did the solo overnight standard package and felt rejuvenated and 100% nurtured ❤️‍🩹 From the moment I arrived, the very attentive staff made me feel welcomed. The dishes that they served me in every meal were generous and incredibly delicious and nourishing. I still haven’t forgotten that kulawo dish which was the first time I have ever tasted it and how it won me over. The staff that took me to the puestos (sacred sites) had good information and many stories about them which made the visit even more meaningful and they made sure I didn’t slip on the way to the falls, always guiding my every step. There was even a turn-down service after my evening massage. The staff turned on the lamp, added more pillows, left some drinking water for me, and set up an aromatherapy diffuser which made me feel extra special. Needless to say, I had a great sleep. I didn’t even turn on the fan because the fresh chilly mountain air was enough for me and even allowed the symphony of nature sounds to lull me to sleep. I wanted to go to back to Santa Lucia falls the next day by myself but the staff discouraged me to go because it has been raining all night and even when I said I was going to walk around the retreat grounds, I was given a look of concern and was told it is raining. I felt very well taken care of and just spent the rest of my time in the meditation room and going through books and using the many tarot and oracle decks. It was indeed a great experience. Just the unforgettable meals make me want to come back so if you want to treat yourself, reconnect with yourself and nature, I highly recommend going to Banahaw Circle Nature Retreat. This sacred space will definitely be on my radar for future travels, retreats, and solo trips.

The bed was comfortable, the whole very clean and the food: absolutely delicious! The retreat organised 2 hikes for me a kind guide, I felt safe and well taken care of. Thank you! I will come again with friends and family!

Place has good high frequency energy, really friendly staff, super yummy food and coffee, every food they served was divine, the your guides were so polite, the water so refreshing, and the traditional hilot massage is out of this world, super highly recommend for people who want to recharge their energy and need meditation and prayers
