## Our read

A mountain raw-food and yoga house in Palawan since 2007, small enough that the schedule and the meals are the stay. Living food, gentle practice, and a nature day when the stay is long enough.

## Come here for

- Travellers who want raw vegan meals and gentle yoga in one place
- Solo guests and friends who prefer a house schedule to a resort buffet
- People ready for a multi-day cleanse or a single restorative day in Puerto Princesa

## Skip it if

- A trip without meat on the menu would frustrate you
- You want nightlife and restaurants within walking distance
- You would rather invent every hour than follow a retreat day

## The place

Bahay Kalipay (House of Joy) is a raw food and yoga retreat in Santa Monica, Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Founded in 2007, it is among the earliest living-food and yoga sanctuaries in Asia. Guests come for raw vegan meals, gentle yoga, breathwork, meditation, and deep rest in a quiet mountain home about twenty minutes from Puerto Princesa airport. Three programs sit on the public site. The Wellness Yoga Program runs 3, 5, 10, or 21 days: daily yoga and meditation, raw food, breathwork, and a nature day on stays of five days or more. The Deep Nature Cleanse runs 5, 7, or 21 days: raw food detox with gentle colon cleansing, yoga, massage, and deeper rest. The Holistic Self-Care Retreat is one day (optional overnight) with massage, raw food, art, and yoga for travellers passing through. Published 2026 rates are in PHP on bahaykalipay.com/pricing, with a 5% direct-booking discount and higher instant-pay discounts by season. Direct booking and early pay keep the lower bands.
