Beschreibung
Wonderland is a space to connect, create, and grow together.
Here at Wonderland, we run a guesthouse and a vegan restaurant, host the Wonderland community, and support various social projects around the island. So much has already happened, and we have many more exciting things to come. Our current focus is on creative arts, construction, and design projects, continuing to build and improve the space. We are also currently supporting a local dog shelter, helping with general maintenance and the animals' daily care. We’re always looking for people with positive energy, creativity, and a willingness to contribute to the team.
At the moment, we are staying in simple native huts in the community section of the project, surrounded by a peaceful natural environment, just a 5-minute walk from the famous Paliton Beach, in the centre of San Juan on the magical island of Siquijor.
From Monday to Friday, we host workshops in the morning and evening, creating opportunities for learning, self-expression, and community connection. We start the day at 7:00 AM with morning workshops, including yoga, meditation, workouts, and writing. Later, we close the day with an evening workshop such as dancing, arts, and crafts. Our workshop schedule changes weekly and depends entirely on what people want to host. All workshops are mandatory to attend, allowing everyone at Wonderland to share their passions and connect with others in the community.
Our official working hours are between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM, with some slightly different responsibilities that remain flexible. Our programme is structured so that everyone still has plenty of time to explore the beautiful island and the beauty within it. 🙂
There are lots of parties, fiestas, and live music events just a short bike ride away, where we all enjoy the good vibes of the island.
I won’t write out our whole philosophy here, as there is a time and a place for everything, but in short, we are here to do great things and live a good life. We really do live in paradise, and we love to celebrate it. 🙂
The local community is incredibly kind and friendly, and people are always happy to share stories and their culture. Smiles, positivity, fun, and kindness are a huge part of Filipino culture. Siquijor is considered one of the safest places on Earth, and the people are, without a doubt, some of the kindest you’ll ever meet. We aim to match the island’s energy by being as inclusive and supportive as possible in everything we do. We have been supporting an Orphanage on a nearby island for the past year and recently hosted them all at Wonderland for a holiday away from the city.
Every afternoon, we like to head to Paliton Beach together to watch the sunset and enjoy mojitos or fresh coconuts. It’s truly something no one should miss while being in Siquijor.
Our mission is to extend a sense of home to our community and build a place where people truly belong. In the future, we plan to open a retreat centre and offer our space to educators from all over the world. We are focused on both the journey of self-discovery and on supporting the local community in every way we can.
Let’s talk more in private. 🙂
It might take a day or two, but we are committed to responding to every message. Please write to us, and you will receive our full attention, even if it takes a little while.

From Johnny, Michal, Wen, Seb, Tom, Hayley, Patrick, Freya, Zan, Elyn, Tsumi (Our Mama Cat) and the whole family.

Arbeit
After Opening our vegan restaurant and finishing the first step of our building project, we are now in the look out for people to help out in more specific projects. helping out with building new art designs, painting, cooking, decorating, gardening, social media, conducting workshops, and more.
We have also developed departments regarding helping out to the local schools and Barangay's around us, local animal shelters, beach clean-ups and hospital visits.
There is a lot of work around, so just find how you could support the project with your personal skills, the best. we need people that have awesome, interesting or artistic skills - people who want to share their good energy with us :)
We have a place here for anyone who would like to help! Bring whatever you would like to bring; we are open to new ideas. :)

We host language workshops on weekly basis, and since there are so many people around from all over the world you'll always find someone to practice with the language of your choice!
Unterkunft
We offer a private cozy bamboo huts with a mosquito net, electric fan, and electricity plugs. We use high quality mattrasses in every hut to insure good quality of sleep.
We have shared Western Toilets and cool Open air Bamboo Showers (We also have hot showers). Few common areas to chill, and a cool new kitchen where our chef does her magic;)
We have a pretty strong Wifi connection here, and it's free like our mineral water.
Our kitchen team is making the most amazing vegan food! We are eating together dinners during the week days, and on the weekends go out together to explore the restaurants and bars nearby. Joining the communal meals is totally optional (400PHP - around 6 Euros) - we just need to know in advance in order to prepare! There are two volunteer kitchen on site where our team can cook for themselves. we don't accept any meat products to be used in our project, but aside from that you're free to use the facilities as you like.
We also offer different services to maximize the comfort of our volunteers, (Laundry, Bike rental, booking scuba diving, food and drinks at our restaurant, etc.) and the volunteers get full discount for anything we offer. The food we make here is just for ourselves. So the volunteers will be assisting to our chef who is the main person to cook the meals for everybody.
Was noch ...
Wow. Where to start?
Siquijor Island has truly something for everyone. It's full of waterfalls, lakes, mountains, caves and beautiful beaches, fireflies, glowing plankton, reefs, shooting stars... Nature wise, It's heaven.
You can go snorkeling or diving, hiking, Kite surfing, camping or just rent a motorbike and explore the island.
there's so much to see and do! you can go visit a healer, which is what this island is famous for.
We like to go explore new places on the island on our weekends, so you can always join us:)
We like to go out everyday at least for a drink, or for a bonfire on the beach. there's plenty of good bars and parties and honestly it's always fun when we do it together.
So yeah, hard to get bored around here!
It's super easy to get here from Dumaguete City, Bohol, Cebu and Mindanao. We are already familiar with most routes so just tell us where you're coming from and we can help you get here 😊
