Reto Müller & Jing Tabangay Kitesurfing in Cuyo Island Palawan

Very peaceful ambiance, a sand beach lined with palm trees and beautiful cottages built at the foot of a small hill covered with trees.

The wind blows on shore slightly from the left, permitting long rides inside the bay or going over the reef into the waves.

Mediocre kiteboarders / windsurfers find ideal conditions to practice the water start in chest deep crystal clear water.

Quijano Retreat provides storage facilities for kitesurfers and windsurfers, regardless whether they rent a cottage with us or stay in a hotel in Cuyo town and visit Quijano beach just during the day.

Going from Quijano beach in Magsaysay to Cuyo town is a 20 minutes ride by motorbike through a lush green landscape with lots of smiling people.
