25 Friends for 25 Years of RW

5 Nights · Invitation Only

An Invitation

25 years deserve an adventure.

This year we celebrate 25 years of RW, and we can't imagine marking it without the people who made those years so special. So we are inviting our closest friends to celebrate with us, far away from the everyday.

Together we will go island hopping, expedition style, across the remote islands of Bacuit Bay. For three days we sail on a traditional boat and sleep in simple bamboo huts along secluded shores. Beautiful beaches, crystal-clear water, fresh meals, sunsets, bonfires and good company.

That's part of the adventure. Comfortable hotels await before and after.

Come with an adventurous spirit and an open mind. We would love for you to join us.
