Lotus Shores Siargao
Tucked away from the main roads leading up to the popular beaches on the island, Lotus Shores is the perfect resort for every adventurer, soul searcher, and yoga enthusiast who wants to experience more than just a vacation. Whether it be chilling by the pool, immersing yourself in yoga classes, or simply enjoying the beautiful natural landscape with a drink in hand, this resort provides a peaceful escape from the bustling city and lets you reconnect to what matters to you the most.
Lotus Shores isn’t just a resort – it’s a retreat center and commune where like-minded people get together to follow the traditions of yoga, share vegan cuisine, and go on a journey of self-discovery.
Here, you’re bound to be surrounded by nature in every corner. The retreat features wide spaces with large gardens and architecture inspired by zen and minimalist styles. You’re surely in for a comfortable and productive stay at their dedicated spaces for socializing (Kali Ma Cafe and Restaurant) and yoga practice (Durga Temple and Yoga Dojo), with elegant, modern, and monochromatic interiors that showcase the bare essentials and inspire clarity of mind.

Vegan, homegrown whole foods restaurant
Kali Ma Cafe is the in-house vegan cafe that serves delicious plant-based dishes straight from Siargao’s organic farms. If you are looking for a different set of flavors without the (meaty) guilt, then this place is for you.
All meals here will surely nourish your body and soul with the best natural foods. The crowd favorites here are the Chana Masala (P360), Mushroom Gyoza (P320), and Vegan Omelette (P300).
Save stray dogs with ‘Puppy Puddle’
Did you know that one of Lotus Shores’ yogis leads a non-profit organization rescuing stray dogs called Puppy Puddle Siargao? With the aim of improving the lives of street animals living on the island, Puppy Puddle conducts activities to bring people and animals together, all for the love of aspin (asong pinoy or Philippine dogs).
The organization achieved impressive results, thanks to its spaying/neutering programs, rabies vaccination efforts, and adoptions. So if you want to give animals a better life, you know who to look for.
Every seeker and tourist with a grounded intention of living life without distractions will fall in love with Lotus Shores. For bookings and inquiries, you can visit their official website and Facebook page.
