Q&A

  • Our Catanduanes trips run from March to August, during the island’s dry season. It’s the best time to enjoy its lush landscapes, quiet beaches, and warm weather. As with any tropical destination, short rain showers can happen, it’s all part of the adventure.

  • Maganda Experience was created as an experience where girls travelling alone can feel safe and make like-minded friends. You can also bring your friends!

  • We have 4 diffrent types:

    Shred room w/ shared bathroom (2 pax.)

    Shred room w/ private bathroom (2 pax.)

    Private room w/ shared bathroom

    Private room w/ private bathroom

    All rooms are equiped with AC or Fan

  • It's time for girls to travel alone. No more "the world is too dangerous for a girl". Let's support each other to fulfil the dream of going to a country far away from home all alone. Let's make each other feel safe together.

  • Being over 18 years old.

  • No problem at all! The resort is suitable for any kind of diet + the food is very good ;)

  • From Manila Airport T3, you should fly to Virac Airport (Catanduanes). There's only one flight per day so you'll all get to know each other by then!
