We had a lovely stay and an amazing first-time yoga retreat!
The surroundings and hut architecture is beautiful, tucked on the beach shore. Very quiet and relaxing place, where anyone can go with their own rhythm and flow.
The food was also outstanding, with kitchen chefs going out of their ways to offer daily varied recipes, especially amazing fresh fish, all of excellent taste!
This was the highlight of our holiday in the Philippines 🧡

I had a great stay at this hotel! The place is really nice and very clean. The showers, while rustic, are spotless and easy to use. The tents are well set up, and the bed is really comfortable. The food is absolutely delicious-though the prices are a bit high, they are still reasonable considering the quality. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

An amazing and unique stay at Dryft, the food is by far the best you will eat in Philippines, every day it was incredible. Total off the grid experience. The staff are all super friendly and very hard working to make you comfortable. Ralph took our order every lunch and evening and ensured we had a great time. Thanks to everyone that made our stay fantastic!
I would only say it needs more sun loungers, as the beach is one of the main things to do there.

DRYFT Darocotan Island is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking natural beauty of the island and the warm hospitality of the staff. The pristine beach, crystal-clear waters, and lush surroundings make this place feel like a slice of paradise.
The accommodations are thoughtfully designed, blending seamlessly with the natural environment while still providing comfort and charm. We loved the unique experience of staying in eco-friendly tents—it was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
The activities offered are incredible—snorkeling was a highlight for us, with vibrant marine life just a short swim from the shore. Yoga sessions on the beach at sunrise were both rejuvenating and unforgettable. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need, from delicious meals to personalized recommendations for exploring the area.
DRYFT truly feels like a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a place where you can reconnect with nature and leave feeling completely refreshed. We can’t wait to come back and relive this dreamlike experience!

I had the opportunity to stay at Dryft after hearing about it from a friend. It was a trip I will never forget. The island is peaceful, private and lush. The accommodations had everything we needed to be comfortable with a view of the ocean. We ate at the restaurant each night and the food may have been my favorite part. Better than anything you can get on Palawan that we tasted. All the other guests and staff we met were lovely. Hope we have a chance to come back. It’s like nowhere we’ve been before in all the best ways. Thanks for an amazing experience.
