About Us
Who we are
We are a half-Filipino, half-Spanish family that has come to fulfill a beautiful and ambitious project with the conviction of being able to create unforgettable experiences that leave the mark of the Philippines in the hearts of those who dare to get to know it, respecting the environment and helping the locals in the process.
Our mother moved more than forty years ago to Spain to earn money to finance the small business she was starting in the Philippines at that time. Her life gave her another destiny, staying there and having us. This is very much summarizing her story, she could write a book with her adventures and misadventures full of improvement and resilience.
The point is that life has put this opportunity in front of us to create a prosperous future for ourselves while fulfilling our mother’s dream of being with her mother again, my grandmother who is now over ninety years old.

We moved in September 2023. My brother Ivan and I were exploring some islands in the Philippines gathering information while my mother was meeting my grandmother. Then we finally traveled to Palawan where at the beginning we were considering settling in San Vicente or Port Barton, to finally find a little gem in the heart of the El Nido-Taytay Protected Area with views of the Bacuit Islands.
