Ariara Island, Philippines | 5 full days

We are so excited to announce our 2024 international retreat on Ariara Island, an exclusive private tropical island located in the Calamine Islands, Philippines. It will be a heavenly blend of adventure, luxury, rest, and inspiration. A time that will slow down as God tenderly speaks to you in this place. I see Him sowing new seeds into your heart and breathing fresh life to things that feel dry. I see Him bringing clarity and stirring courage. I see you and Him together wandering the island chatting and laughing. A gentle unforced rhythm of rest and intimacy.

This 5-star island has 125 acres of unspoilt paradise, soft white sand and a thriving house reef to snorkel and explore at your leisure. This is an all-inclusive retreat. The island chef will create mouth-watering menus made up of fresh local ingredients to suit your tastes and requirements. We have boats at our disposal for island hopping, sunset cruises, wakeboarding and donut rides for the adventurous! You can choose to relax in a hammock, swim in the infinity pool or hike around the island. This is your holiday with Jesus, you can choose your pace and style of retreat.

Each day we will have a relaxed but powerful group session that provides space for you to hear God’s voice and His heart for you. Prayer and prophetic words will be shared as the Holy Spirit leads. I will be available throughout the day for prayer and support as you unwrap the treasures God reveals to you.

The retreat will have beautiful touches and surprises designed to lavish and delight you. We will finish each day together dining under the stars on the beach or over the reef in the cabana. How dreamy! I can not wait to see you there! Love Lisa x

GETTING THERE

To get this the island does require a few steps but the worth will be beyond measure!

Step 1: Fly into Manila the day before the retreat begins (I will send you where I am staying in Manila if you would like to stay in the same hotel)
FLIGHT INFO:
Fly into Manila - I will be flying in on the 21st of April and staying very close to the airport that night ready for an easy transfer to the airport early the following day. The hotel I am staying at is Savoy Hotel Manila Andrews Avenue. I booked via wotif and it was around $95 for the night. You can also book via booking.com 

Our retreat actually starts at 8am on the 22nd of April! We will have a private van waiting for us at the El Nido airport. So you have 2 options here:

1 - You can join me on a 6:20am flight from Manila to El Nido (airline - air swift)

or 

2 - Fly out to El Nido the day before and spend the night by the beach somewhere! We can arrange to come pick you up from where you stay.

Return:

On the 26th of April (our last day of retreat) We will have lunch on the island before heading off. So the options here are:

1 - Join me on the flight at 5:25pm and arrive in Manila at 6:55pm (airline - air swift)

or

2 - Stay an extra night  or two in El Nido before you fly out!

I will be staying at Discovery Primea in Manila that night. I chose this one as I won't be flying home until late the following night so I wanted to be in an area to relax and be a little spoilt! You are welcome to join me there!

The only thing you have to look after is getting yourself to El Nido airport. 8am on the 22nd of April the retreat begins and we will have amazing people caring for you as you holiday with God! 

Step 2: Early (around 6:30am) on the 22 nd of April we will fly from Manila to El Nido.

Step 3: A luxury van will be waiting for us at the airport at 8:00am to take us to the port of Dipnay, 30 minutes away. A private boat will whisk us away to our tropical island getaway. On the boat trip to the island, we will stop at a remote island for a swim and picnic.

Step 4: On the 26th of April we will leave the island after lunch and transfer back to El Nido airport. You are welcome to stay further nights in El Nido to explore or fly out from El Nido that afternoon.

Step 5: Stay the night in Manila (again, you are welcome to stay at the same hotel as me)

OR if you prefer to arrange a private flight direct from Manila or Elnido to the island please let me know.
