Sam and Bibe
Experience a serene and authentic retreat in the wild! Our sanctuary is made for nature lovers seeking an escape from tainted city life, where nature and comfort blend harmonize. Located on a small island in the midst of a river, you'll enjoy the peace of nature away from the bustling tourist hubs. Ideal for couples or solo travelers, our haven offers a chance to unwind with a warm welcome and a genuine connection with nature. Location : We are located 10 to 15 minutes walk from the beach and 5 to 10 minutes walk from the main street of Liwa where you can find restaurants, shops and bars. The access : The only access is handmade bamboo bridges (3 bridges to cross) from the main road. Please be aware of the bridges, it's not recommended to walk for senior citizen. This island is an annexe to the Riverside Liwa Community, where artists, surfers and a local family live together. You will have to cross Riverside resort to arrive on the island. Awaken to the gentle melodies of our trees and birds, explore our orchards and permaculture garden, take a refreshing dip in our river, stroll to the beach, or simply unwind in our hammocks. Embark on a unique getaway and embrace a new kind of experience with us!
We are Sam and Bibe, a french/Filipina couple who try to be sustainable with our little island. We love to surf and the vibes of the ocean. We eat healthy food from our garden and meet good people to hang out with. We like to share our lifestyle with different people.
Liwa is a very famous surf spot not far from Manila. You can find many places to eat, take out food, party places. We are only 5 minutes walk from the busy center of liwa. But far enough to enjoy a quiet stay. You can do everything by walk, go to the beach, buying food, restaurant, etc. The beach is 10 to 15 minutes walk. Restaurants and shops 10 minutes walk. Waterfalls 15mn drive. If you want to go to the market you will need your own transportation (10mn) or you can ask a tricycle driver.
