WHAT IS SANTIAGO PROJECT BY
ALUMINAK?
The property is an Eco-Art Holistic Commune in Ilocos Sur. It is a Small Communal Platform bringing artistic, sustainable and holistic wellness for productive and creative entrepreneurship activity. It is a community-driven platform designed to inspire change with goals of personal healing and the creation of ideas and productivity.
Santiago Project will be a blueprint for other remote coliving spaces under Aluminak Sustainable properties. Santiago by Aluminak Sustainable Developments is a human-centered sanctuary that will be replicated in remote destinations that would need a boost in local economy and tourism while sustaining a hospitality/real estate business.
It provides awareness of the pressing need to return to self and nurture the experience through human connection and spirituality. The transformational property will maintain programming designed to respect and learn about the anthropological culture in the area while on a healing journey towards a path to create and prosper. Its philosophy is centered on transformative experiences to free the mind awaken the soul.

ENTER THE CIRCLE
Aluminak is not just a place—it is a pulse.
A living hearth where artists, seekers, and kin gather in sacred rhythm.
Here, creation becomes communion, and work returns to ritual.
The land speaks through the hands that tend it.
