Nomads in Paradise 2026 ran on Siargao Island in the Philippines from Friday, Oct 16 to Sunday, Oct 25. Khun Camp was on site for all ten days as the on-site media team, filming the festival and writing a recap for each day.
The first three days: opening party, fitness and the water
The festival opened on Oct 16 with an Opening Party by the water, where Human Bingo got everyone talking. Oct 17 was the fitness day, with a yoga class at a local studio and a Hyrox-style session at a local gym. Oct 18 was island hopping: boats out of General Luna to a small island, a white-sand beach and lunch on banana leaves.
Four conference days
From Oct 19 to 22 the programme moved to Isola Del Sole Villas and Resort. Monday was about AI and building a business. Tuesday was about the person doing the work: travel, work-life balance, health and money. Wednesday was practical, with content, investing and working across cultures. Thursday had the last run of talks, then an afternoon of Unconferences led by the participants. Each day ended socially: karaoke, a trivia and dance night, an open networking meetup and a networking dinner.
Every topic from those four days is listed in the conference topics guide.
Wellness, beach and the close
Oct 23 was Wellness Day: beach yoga, Reiki, a Filipino sports day, a beach cleanup, a breathwork and ice bath session, sound healing and a pool party. Oct 24 was a beach day with optional island trips, a paddle tournament, a biohacking night and a foam party. Oct 25 offered one more island trip, then the Closing Party on a rooftop, the official close of the festival.
Watch it
The crew cut five films from the festival, each a few minutes long. They are on the Siargao hub, with the day-by-day recaps.
