You’d want to change things around and if a simple room makeover isn’t working for you, why not go for a complete change of scenery and work from a tropical island? Whether you’re looking into staying for just a week or up to a month, check out these stays where you can embrace the island life comfortably:

Lotus Shores Siargao

Known for its year-round yoga immersion program, Lotus Shores Siargao is the place to go for self-discovery, yoga practice, and experiencing the healing power of the island.

They have villas, private rooms, and shared rooms with rates starting at P1,400 per night for a bed space. P.S. If you follow a plant-based diet, your meals wouldn’t be a problem as it has its own vegan café!
