We offer thoughtfully designed private rooms, a nourishing daily breakfast, and a warm, Bali-inspired space to rest, surf, and enjoy slow, mindful living by the sea. Alongside nightly stays, we host retreats, creative workshops, and intimate gatherings. The name &#8220;Kahana&#8221; is inspired by the aloha spirit of Duke Kahanamoku, widely considered the father of modern surfing.<\/p>\n<h2>Where are you located?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re in Cemento, Baler, Aurora \u2014 right across the road from Cobra Reef and a mangrove sanctuary, and just a few meters from the Baler Fish Port. Diguisit Beach is under 10 minutes away. It&#8217;s quiet here, tucked between the hillside and the sea, far from Sabang&#8217;s buzz but still close to all the essentials.<\/p>\n<h2>How far are you from the beach?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re not beachfront, but the shoreline is just a few steps away, with tide pools, rocky shores, and a mangrove sanctuary right across the road \u2014 especially magical at sunrise or low tide. For sand and a swim, Diguisit Beach is under 10 minutes away by car or tricycle.<\/p>\n<h2>What rooms do you offer?<\/h2>\n<p>We have 13 private, air-conditioned rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom (hot &amp; cold shower): 5 Mini Suites (for 2), 3 Premier Suites (for 2), 1 Junior Suite (for 3), 1 Deluxe Suite (for 2\u20134), 1 Deluxe Loft (for 4\u20136), and 2 Group Suites (for 6, with bunk beds).<\/p>\n<h2>How much do rooms cost per night?<\/h2>\n<p>Nightly rates start at \u20b12,800.

By bus, take the JoyBus or Genesis Bus from Cubao to Baler Terminal, then a 15-minute tricycle ride to our door in Cemento.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get to Kahana Baler from Sabang?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a quick 10\u201315 minute tricycle ride from Sabang \u2014 just say &#8220;Kahana sa Cemento&#8221; and the locals will know where to take you.
