Why Siargao?
Siargao is a remote island in the Philippines known for its raw beauty, friendly locals, and laid-back charm. Picture crystal-clear water, palm-lined roads, vibrant sunsets, and quiet moments on untouched beaches.
Every part of the island invites you to explore! Paddle through jungle rivers, dive into hidden lagoons, or just float in warm ocean water with no to-do list in sight. It’s the kind of place that helps you reset, breathe deeper, and appreciate the simple things.
And the best part? We plan it all for you. From daily workouts to boat tours, meals, transportation, and local experiences: everything is taken care of. All you have to do is show up, be present, and enjoy the ride.
Hear From Our Past Grown Strong Retreat Crew
"I’ve currently been on 3 trips with Lauren and Ras and every time I’m blown away how they made the experience better than the last. Lauren and Ras have built a great community with great people who make the whole trip amazing. If you’re lucky enough to book a retreat please make the most out of every event and day. It is absolutely amazing how fast the week goes by and at the end I always find myself wishing it lasted longer." - Sam
"Best retreat ever! This was my first retreat and certainly not my last! I was beyond impressed how well everything we was organized and planned. Everything from airport pick up/drop off, lodging, meals, activities, and transportation was taken care of. It really made the trip so easy to enjoy. Best of all were the people, such an amazing group of people to eat, explore and do fitness together. Loved everything about this trip!" - Perla

Where You'll Stay?
For this retreat, we’ll be staying at Kajali Villas, a charming and minimalist property tucked just outside the heart of General Luna. While the space is more laid-back than luxury, it offers everything you need to relax and reset after a full day of adventure.
We’ll have the entire property to ourselves, which means a quiet, comfortable environment and plenty of space to unwind. Each villa is thoughtfully designed, clean and island-style simplicity.
You’re just a short walk from General Luna’s cafes, smoothie bars, the beach, and local markets so whether you want to explore town or enjoy downtime by the pool, everything is within reach.
This spot perfectly reflects the vibe of Siargao: simple, soulful, and effortlessly easy to enjoy.
Am I the Right Fit for This Retreat?
The answer is almost certainly YES! This retreat is open to all ages and fitness levels. You don’t need to be in peak shape or have any prior experience just come with an open mind, a sense of adventure, and a positive attitude.
If you're excited to explore, meet new people, and embrace the full experience, we’ll take care of the rest and make sure it’s a trip you’ll never forget.
Our workouts are designed to help you feel good, energize your day, and build an appetite for all the incredible food. You choose the intensity that works for you, and with multiple coaches on hand, everything can be tailored to your pace.
And yes age is just a number. We’ve seen firsthand how powerful this experience can be for people from all walks of life. You belong here, and we can’t wait to welcome you!

ACCOMODATION
If you would like to pay the discounted double occupancy rate and be paired up with a fellow retreat attendee of same gender, please sign up using 'Shared Double Occupancy' and we will take care of finding a good fit for you.
YES, absolutely! Make sure to sign up as a 'Double Occupancy'.
If you want us to handle the split of the payment into two, please reach out to retreats@grownstrong.com after you have signed up and we can help you mitigate the payments.
YES, of course you can! We always have a mix of couples, friends, and individuals so you'll fit right in.
Absolutely! We actually encourage arriving a day early so you have time to settle in, adjust to the time difference, and avoid missing any part of the retreat due to travel delays.
If you’d like to arrive early or extend your stay, please email us at retreats@grownstrong.com. We’re happy to help arrange that for an additional fee. Just keep in mind that extra nights are subject to hotel availability, so we recommend reaching out as early as possible as last minute requests may not be guaranteed.
TRAVEL
Flights are not included as our guests travel from all around the world. This approach gives you the freedom to select the flight that best fits your schedule and preferences. However, from the moment you arrive, we take over – handling all transfers from the airport to the hotel, ensuring a stress free experience for you. Once the retreat is done, we'll of course take you back to the airport.
Absolutely, we provide airport transportation. We'll arrange both your pickup and drop-off at the airport. Before your trip, we'll contact you to collect your flight details, ensuring we're there to welcome you upon your arrival.
For this retreat, we’re asking everyone to fly into Siargao Airport (IAO).
Once you arrive, we’ll handle all transportation on the island, so you can relax and enjoy the journey!
After you sign up, we will contact you with exact instructions on how we'll meet you upon your arrival.
Ideally, you should arrive before 1PM on February 7th. The drive from Siargao Airport to our villas takes about one hour, depending on traffic. We’re planning a light welcome workout around 4PM (subject to slight adjustment depending on arrival times), giving you a chance to settle in and freshen up before our welcome dinner around 6:30–7 PM. The earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to relax before the retreat officially begins!
While there are no scheduled activities on the final day, we recommend booking a flight that departs after 12 PM on February 14th. To ensure a smooth departure, we plan to get you to the airport at least two hours before your flight. Since the drive is about 1 hour, this will give you time to enjoy breakfast and say your goodbyes without feeling rushed. Plus, no one wants to worry about an early departure on the last night!
ITINERARY
You can find an outline of what to expect further up on this page. As the date approaches, we will share more detailed information with everyone who has signed up. We promise you won't be disappointed!
The itinerary might change slightly, but we will of course keep you updated in such case.
If you have any questions at any time, please don't hesitate to contact us at retreats@grownstrong.com.
You are most certainly allowed to do your own thing! We understand that you may not want to be around everyone 24/7 so if you find yourself needing a break, not wanting to workout or join us on an experience, just let us know. We will always give you options to follow our plan or just do your own thing, it's completely up to you.
WORKOUTS
A mix of high-intensity, low-intensity, CrossFit, weightlifting, and bodyweight workouts. Every session is adaptable to your fitness level, so there’s no need to feel intimidated. It’s all about moving, feeling good, and most importantly, having fun!
YES! There will be modifications for all fitness levels, and participation in any activity is entirely up to you.
Across all sessions we have the flexibility to accommodate your fitness level, ensuring no one feels out of place. There's no need to worry about the intensity or difficulty of the workouts. Our primary aim is for you to have an enjoyable experience.
Not at all! This retreat is for all levels, ages, and genders. No prior experience is necessary! The main goal is for you to ENJOY YOURSELF! We will cater to everyone who participates, and we will scale each workout to your ability so everyone can join. We will have plenty of staff to accommodate exactly what you need.
FOOD & DRINKS
INCREDIBLE! What all our retreats have in common is our commitment to providing an excellent dining experience. We aim to deliver a blend of local cuisine with a diverse selection of other foods, ensuring a mix of flavors and experiences throughout your trip.
If you have any dietary restrictions, rest assured, we will make every effort to accommodate them. After securing your spot, we'll send a questionnaire to gather information about your food preferences and any allergies you might have.
Of course! While alcohol is not included in the retreat price, you are welcome to purchase drinks on your own at any time. Whether you want to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a casual drink during your free time, you are more than welcome to do so. If you are interested in exploring the local nightlife, we are happy to offer suggestions and help point you in the right direction.
OTHER QUESTIONS

We've found that 20 participants is the ideal number for creating a personalized and fun experience. On certain retreats we might go slightly over and others we will try to stay under. Each retreat is supported by at least 2 coaches or staff members, and we often include additional team members as necessary to ensure everyone receives the attention and guidance they need.

It's entirely your choice. We use WhatsApp for communication before and during the retreat. WhatsApp needs an internet connection to work, but our hotel and most places we visit offer free Wi-Fi, allowing you to quickly and easily connect to the internet at no extra cost.
