About
Bahay Kalipay (House of Joy) is a raw food and yoga retreat in Santa Monica, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines - a pioneering living-food and yoga sanctuary in Asia, founded in 2007.
Guests come for living food (raw vegan meals), gentle yoga, breathwork, meditation, and deep rest in a quiet mountain home about twenty minutes from Puerto Princesa airport. Programs include the Wellness Yoga Program (3-21 days), Deep Nature Cleanse (5-21 days), and Holistic Self-Care Retreat (one day, with an optional overnight). Nature days reach forest trails, rivers, and quiet beaches such as Talaudyong or Nagtabon.
Since opening, Bahay Kalipay has welcomed over a thousand guests from more than forty nationalities. Guests book direct through bahaykalipay.com or bahaykalipayretreats@gmail.com. For Canadian, U.S., and international wellness planners researching Palawan raw vegan yoga retreats and Asia detox stays, Bahay Kalipay offers a book-direct alternative to crowded resort corridors.
When Bahay Kalipay opened in 2007, raw food living was barely a conversation in the Philippines. Co-founder Daniw Arrazola helped create a space where nourishing food, mindful movement, and the quiet of Palawan could help guests come back to themselves - among the earliest raw food and yoga retreats in Asia at the time.
