City life has its charm—fast-paced schedules, exciting nightlife, buzzing streets—but let’s face it: sometimes, you just need to unplug. When the pressure of work, traffic, and deadlines start to take a toll on your well-being, it’s time for a reset. For those in Metro Manila craving a change of scenery, Fatwave Surf Resort in Surftown, La Union is your ultimate weekend sanctuary.

Whether you're looking for tranquility, soft sands, surf-friendly waves, or unforgettable sunsets, Fatwave hits the sweet spot for that perfect weekend getaway.
One of the biggest barriers for most people in Metro Manila is time. Long-distance travel isn't always possible when you only have a weekend off. That’s what makes La Union a top pick—it’s accessible but feels like a tropical dream.

There’s no denying the magic of waking up to the sound of the waves. Fatwave Surf Resort is located right on the beach, offering instant access to the ocean. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or someone who just wants to lounge under a palm tree with a book, this beachfront haven caters to all moods.
Enjoy early morning walks on the sand, lazy afternoons with a drink in hand, and unforgettable sunsets that paint the sky in orange, pink, and gold. It’s the visual and emotional detox you didn’t know you needed.
The moment you step into Fatwave, you’ll feel the shift. The interiors are a delightful mix of tropical, boho-chic design—think natural textures, lively hues, and local-inspired details. Every corner of the resort is designed to make you feel relaxed, from the open-air dining spots to the cozy rooms overlooking the beach.
This isn’t a rushed tourist spot; it’s a place that invites you to slow down, breathe, and be present. With the perfect balance of nature and comfort, Fatwave creates a calm energy that truly allows you to disconnect from the noise of Manila.
Planning a solo escape to recharge? Traveling with your significant other? Organizing a barkada trip to make memories? Fatwave Surf Resort is built to accommodate every kind of weekend traveler.
Whatever your reason for escaping the city, Fatwave makes sure you do it in comfort and style.
Ask any Fatwave guest, and they’ll tell you—the sunsets here are next-level. There’s something about the horizon in Surftown that delivers golden hour perfection, night after night. Watching the sun dip into the sea is a form of therapy in itself, and at Fatwave, you get front-row seats.
Grab a drink from the bar, sink into a beanbag chair on the sand, and let the colors work their magic. It’s one of the best reminders of how beautiful slowing down can be.
Surftown is known for its waves, and Fatwave proudly sits in the heart of the action. If you’re into surfing—or want to try it for the first time—there are plenty of instructors and boards for rent nearby. Morning and sunset sessions are particularly popular.
But Fatwave isn’t just for surfers. There’s so much more to enjoy:
What’s a beach escape without good food? The in-house Fatwave Kitchen serves up a delicious range of meals, from comforting Filipino classics to fresh seafood and international plates.
Enjoy breakfast by the sea, grab smoothies after a surf, or sit down for a romantic dinner with candlelight and crashing waves in the background. The resort also offers cocktails and cold brews to complement your beach vibe perfectly.
