DRYFT Darocotan Island

At DRYFT, they're not just another hotel or eco-glamping camp. Since 2018, they have embodied the tribal essence of the Philippine islands while using recycled fishing nets and other treasure trash with a creative and sustainable edge. The island will allow you to embrace the gentle ease that takes over you, when you ‘dryft’ effortlessly, willingly, into the natural rhythms of the island.

Your space to play, space to discover, space to let go. Be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the waves gently lapping at the shore, and wake up with the birds of paradise with DRYFT's bamboo beach homes.

DRYFT has a range of completely unique and luxuriously quirky accommodations for you to make your home during your yoga and wellness retreat:
