Year-End Retreat Experience at Ilaya by The Local Travel Girl
ENDING THE YEAR GENTLY
I spent December 27 at Ilaya Retreat Spa’s Year-End Retreat 2025, and this was my second time joining their year-end retreat. I’ve also been present in all of Tito Atho De la Cruz’s retreats this year, which made this one feel extra grounding and intentional.
The day unfolded slowly and intentionally. From the retreat sessions held in silence, to inner child empowerment, a deeply calming sound bath healing, and ending with a Lutay whole body massage. Everything felt like an invitation to pause, listen, and release. The meals and snacks in between made the experience feel nourishing, not rushed.
What stayed with me most was the reminder to choose decisions from love, especially self-love, instead of fear. It felt like the right way to close the year. Softer, clearer, and more aligned.
Ending 2025 feeling present and grounded.
