TIME TO LET GO & FLOW

return to nature + let your spirit DRYFT

With the backdrop of pristine shores, majestic palm trees, and awe-inspiring sunsets, DRYFT awaits you. We all yearn for that irresistible allure – a place where our spirits soar and our hearts find unwavering peace. As you set foot on our secluded retreat, feel a weightlessness descend upon your shoulders, your breath deepening with intention, and an invigorating sense of purpose igniting within.

 

Here, time bends to your desire, and the pulse of nature beats as one with your harmonious being.
Your odyssey begins here.

Immersed in the secluded embrace of Darocotan Island in the north of El Nido, Palawan - far from the clamor of the ordinary - DRYFT Camp beckons you to relinquish the chaos and immerse yourself in the untamed magnificence of island living.

eco-sustainable retreat

At DRYFT, we're not just another hotel or eco-glamping camp. Since 2018, we have embodied the tribal essence of the Philippine islands while using recycled fishing nets and other treasure trash with a creative and sustainable edge. Our island will allow you to embrace the gentle ease that takes over us, when we ‘dryft’ effortlessly, willingly, into the natural rhythms of the island.

Your space to play, space to discover, space to let go.

"The island is amazing if you are looking for less people and to truly rest. The beach is also very beautiful. The main building of the hotel is the most beautiful bamboo house I have ever seen with a lot of comfortable and beautiful places to rest. Bathroom is shared but it is always cleaned. The food is the best food I have ever tasted in philipines and probably in a very long time. they have fresh fish everyday. This is the kind of place it makes you never want to leave. It felt like heaven. Already thinking about coming back..."
