ABOUT

Over the centuries, Mt. Banahaw has, and will always be the Philippines' sacred mountain version of the majestic mountains of Tibet, or the powerful pyramids of Egypt or Machu Picchu. Devotee or skeptic, it continues to attract visitors into its mystical and natural sanctuary, while giving a unique experience of the Filipinos' syncretic way of communing with God and nature.

It is located in Dolores, Quezon. For decades, it has been the seat of traditional healing in the country. It is known as the power mountain and pilgrimage site to many who look for spiritual healing. It boasts of its healing waters with a PH level of 8.5+ and sacred sites called pwestos.

It is also a protected rainforest. As one of the remaining mountain ecosystem in the region, this National Park is an important ecosystem that serves as a resource-base both to human and ecological systems. 

Homestay with us is more than just a stay. We offer an experience where Nature is alive.

To experience the sacred mountain is an essential reboot for your holistic well-being:

for Body, Heart, Mind and Spiritual rejuvenation. 

To recharge for inspiration. 

To relax and reflect.

Or to bond with Nature and your loved ones.  

 

We have rustic but comfortable rooms and beds, multi-purpose spaces

(inside cave and open-air terrace) for events, workshops and activities. Plus delicious organic food cooked in the Slow Food manner, with farm-to-table partnership between a world-class sustainable kitchen and ingredients grown in the mountain our local community farmers.
