Welcome To The Lazy Duck
Your Sauna Retreat in Siquijor, a sanctuary of simplicity and soul. Tucked away on the mystical Island of Fire, our private resort offers Sauna & Ice baths and just two handcrafted cottages.
Who We Are | About Us
Owned by Ella Marie (Duck) and Ronan. A Filipina and an Irish man, who travelled to Siquijor on our first trip together and fell in love with the island. The hospitality of the local people and the beauty of the nature really attracted us. There are so many amazing natural sites to see. We visited the island many times and always stayed in great resorts and hotels. They all offered different things, but the one thing we missed was a relaxing recovery after a long day of activities. This is why we wanted to have a very exclusive resort with your very own sauna and ice bath. We know the benefits of contrast therapy and feeling great to attack the next day of touring.
Siquijor, often called the Island of Fire for the glow of fireflies that once lit its shores, is a tropical gem brimming with natural wonders and mystical charm. The island is blessed with turquoise waterfalls like Cambugahay and Lugnason, where travelers swing into cool jungle pools, and white‑sand beaches such as Paliton and Salagdoong, perfect for sunsets and cliff‑jumps. Inland, you’ll find the Old Enchanted Balete Tree with its natural spring, the serene Lazi Church and Convent — a National Cultural Treasure — and hidden caves like Cantabon waiting to be explored. Whether diving in marine sanctuaries, hiking Mount Bandilaan, or simply soaking in the laid‑back island vibe, Siquijor offers a rare mix of adventure, culture, and untouched beauty that leaves every visitor enchanted.
Since Siquijor is known as the Island of Fire and cold waterfall plunges, we thought we’d bring you another type of Fire and Cold Plunge but right to your doorstep. Experience the Fire & Ice experience with us after your long day of travelling. The benefits of contrast therapy for sore muscles for are well known and proven. Let us help you restore your body.

Natural Healing: The hot-cold contrast boosts circulation, eases sore muscles, and reduces inflammation.
