Finding the right retreat location in the Philippines was deeply personal for us. It is the WOW Retreat in our home country, and we felt a responsibility—not just to get it right, but to honor the richness and beauty of the Philippines in a way that felt true. 

There are so many stunning places to choose from—like Siargao and Bohol and even the lesser-known but equally breathtaking like Sorsogon. We have visited all of them - hoping the right one would reveal itself. 

But in the end, we asked ourselves a simple question: If one could visit the Philippines only once, where would they go that captures both its natural wonder and culture? Palawan kept rising to the top. It's no surprise—travel writers and Conde Nast keep naming it one of the most beautiful places on earth. 

So it became clear: for the retreat in the Philippines, it had to be Palawan. It’s our love letter to the country—and to the women we’ll be welcoming there.
