Worshops and Retreat:
Whether you’re an artist, a problem-solver, or an entrepreneur, we understand that rest is the foundation of meaningful creation. Without it, even our best efforts—whether preparing meals for our families or delivering impactful work and community projects—can suffer.
At Sefriya, we believe that space is essential to the creative process. That’s why we’ve created a sanctuary where you’re free to pause, breathe, and simply be. A sacred space where stillness is encouraged, and rushing feels out of place.
Community Advocacy
Sefriya draws inspiration from the quiet wisdom of nature—how the sun, the river, and the flowers exist not for themselves, but to give and sustain life around them. We believe that true beauty mirrors this pattern of generosity, which is why Sefriya is more than just a hotel and farm in Alitagtag—it is a social enterprise rooted in service. Our mission is to create a space that nurtures not only rest and reflection but also opportunity and upliftment for the local community.
In response to the challenges brought by the pandemic, Sefriya became a place of hope, employing locals based on heart and potential, not just credentials. Thirty percent of our profits are reinvested in community development projects, including our flagship Sefriya Scholarship Program, which supports students with both promise and purpose. Every stay at Sefriya helps fuel dreams, build futures, and create a deeper kind of restoration—one that extends far beyond the self.

Where can we find serenity while relaxing and indulging ourselves in nature? Or where can we find a place to chill or relax and have fun with the family? Luckily, we find all of these in a semi-private resort in Brgy Bubuyan, Mataasnakahoy, Batangas named Serenewoods Farm and Resort.
