Lovely!!!
It is a really exceptional experience to be directly at the beach and hear the waves while falling asleep! The owners are extremely helpful and kind! It was a great pleasure to stay at the Kubo!

A real taste of paradise that we will remember as a highlight of our trip to the Philippines!
This place is a real jewel as one is in a beautiful chalet right on the beach in the middle of paradise! Both the view & the 24-hour sound of the waves is very relaxing & therapeutic. Usually my wife & I are constantly busy with excursions & explorations but in this case, we spent most of our time here as it was so special!

Awesome
My second visit here, and it was as awesome as the first! The place is as tranquil and private as ever; it's like a personal zen zone.
Tita Lita and her staff were very accommodating and made sure I had all the things that I needed during my stay.
Definitely won't be my last visit!

If you want to live an experience far from the noisy city crowd and find some inner peace in the middle of the nature, you definitely found the right spot. You just have 2 very tidy bungalows (one small for single or couples and one familial one) in front of a small private beach. The short path going down to the bungalows is serpenting through the forest and offering very nice points of view, keeping you isolated from the road. Perfect to cut yourself off the civilisation for a couple of lazy days and for a very fair price !

Welcome to L’Astrolabe, an ecolodge nestled on the unspoiled island of Catanduanes, in the Philippines. Between the Pacific Ocean, tropical vegetation, and rice fields, you discover a destination still far from mass tourism.
Designed for travelers seeking calm and authenticity, L’Astrolabe welcomes couples, families, small groups, and digital nomads looking for a peaceful and inspiring natural setting.
The Tiny House offers open ocean views and a minimalist yet cozy atmosphere, surrounded by nature while ensuring a high level of comfort.
Our private beach, with crystal-clear waters and beachfront bungalows, is ideal for snorkeling, kayaking, or simply relaxing far from crowds and tourist hotspots.
The "La Rivière" bungalows, nestled between rice fields and a gentle stream with ocean views, combine comfort, privacy, private bathrooms, and easy beach access in a peaceful natural environment.
Beyond accommodation, L’Astrolabe offers an authentic local experience through Filipino cuisine, farm discovery, hidden beaches, waterfalls, and the spectacular landscapes of Catanduanes.
L’Astrolabe is more than just a place to stay — it is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience one of the Philippines’ best-preserved islands.
The name L’Astrolabe refers to two prestigious French ships that led scientific expeditions across the Pacific Ocean during the 18th and 19th centuries, echoing the great journeys of discovery.
An astrolabe is also an ancient navigation instrument, once used by sailors to determine their position at sea and chart their course.
For us, this name embodies a spirit of adventure, curiosity, and a deep connection with nature. It reflects our vision of an ecolodge in Catanduanes, in the Philippines, designed as a starting point for an authentic and immersive travel experience.
Lita, originally from the Philippines, and Benoît, from Brittany, form a couple shaped by intertwined cultures. Living in Catanduanes with our two children, we have chosen a lifestyle rooted in nature, simplicity, and balance.
Between Filipino traditions and Breton heritage, L’Astrolabe reflects our shared vision: to create an environmentally responsible ecolodge, locally rooted, and open to travelers seeking meaning, authenticity, and a deeper reconnection with nature.
