Immerse yourself in osmosis with nature, by an emerald river in the middle of the jungle. Stare at colorful sunsets with fireflies appearing while the daylight is fading. Enjoy your gateway in a peaceful environment. Let the energies flow and let yourself dedicated to contemplation. All little details put together are aiming to make your stay unique. Inspired by modern architecture and assembled with native materials, this house has been crafted to make your senses feel all the surrounding elements. Our indoor and outdoor gardens, made with passion, are here to keep you connected with nature, bringing in birds, butterflies and enticing smells from our selected flowers. Included with the villa, there with a little covered house right by the river and a wooden pountoon to jump straight to the river. It is possible to swim in the river during mid to high tide and enjoy its fresh water coming right out of the spring.
We are two friends, both passionate about nature, adventure and surfing, that decided to settle in the little island of Siargao in the Philippines. We dedicated ourself to create a unique place to ensure the most memorable experience to our guests and allowing them to enjoy this secret river.
Staying at the River Hideaway, you will be not too near and not too far from everything. Located near the village of Santa Cruz, you will be 10 minutes from Cloud 9, 15 minutes from GL & away from the crowd. Santa Cruz is a fisherman village known for the kindness of its people. There are a few (but very good !) restaurants in Santa Fe, the nearby village, and the rest are in General Luna Area. Santa Fe is famous for its unique empty beaches and its uncrowded surf spots (& sometimes Kitesurf) . Our local friends are excellent surf instructors, and will be available for you if you're craving for surf lessons, at the beach a few minutes away from the property.
