Go BackSurfing | Relaxed | Creative
La Union has evolved into a trendy coastal hub where surfers, artists and wellness seekers converge. It offers a distinctly youthful vibe, with beachfront cafés, murals and boutique resorts. For planners, it’s a destination perfect for informal gatherings, creative workshops, and weddings that thrive on sea breezes and sunset views.
Thunderbird Resorts & Casinos provides the most comprehensive facilities, with Mediterranean‑inspired architecture, ocean‑view ballrooms and terraces that host both corporate events and destination weddings. Its infinity pool and manicured gardens make for striking photos and versatile event layouts. For smaller gatherings, Kahuna Beach Resort and Spa offers rustic‑chic villas and open decks, ideal for art retreats, team‑building or intimate vow renewals.
Planners often include surf lessons at San Juan Surf Resort as part of incentive packages, turning a corporate getaway into an adventurous bonding experience. Yoga sessions on the sand, bonfire dinners with acoustic music, and sunset cocktails on palm‑fringed decks make La Union’s event offerings feel effortlessly creative. Local dining features fresh seafood, Ilocos empanadas and locally brewed craft coffee, ensuring guests are nourished in both body and spirit.
La Union’s accessibility by road from Manila allows short, flexible schedules, while its vibrant coastal culture makes events here feel rejuvenating and memorable.
