Nay Palad Hideaway

We had the most wonderful stay at Nay Palad. The service was very warm and exceeded our expectations as every request was fulfilled instantly. The villas were beautifully designed, making us feel relaxed and at home. The all-inclusive concept meant that we did not have to worry about anything: from the day’s activities to the food, the entire team took care of everything from the moment we arrived until our departure. I would also like to commend the Nay Palad team for making sure our stay was nothing short of memorable. We will definitely be back.

As soon as you arrive in Nay Palad Hideaway you will feel totally relax and disconnected. The team is fully determined to ensure you have the best experience ever. As a full inclusive hotel you never need to think about money when ordering food, having a massage or going on a boat trip, the inclusions are limitless and definitely worth it. The villas are surrounded by luxurious vegetation, you will wake up with the sound of the tropical birds and the waves on the beach. All are very spacious with the best amenities. The chef is preparing the best international and local cuisine you could desire, every day is a new discovery of taste and flavours, and of course with great wine pairing! The activities are great for couples and families, the team makes sure you are alone when discovering the island by car or exploring the nearby islands by boat, they will organise the best picnic you will ever experience! This is so worth a trip!

It’s been just five days since we left Nay Palad, and I cannot stop thinking about the dreamy paradise trip spent with family members there. We all were wowed and awed! I’ve had the privilege of staying at some exquisite hotel properties from four seasons to park Hyatt to el Nido resorts. Nay Palad is in a class of its own, barefoot luxury they call it. Yes, lean in to it! Love is in the attention to details, from the cold towels and coconut juice welcome at the airport and jeepney ride traversing siargao to the hideaway. To Trisha’s passing out folding fans to each guest and guiding from baggage claim, to resort, to our villas. To the staff’s lined up welcome at entrance. Wow factor in the warmth of staff. I even met RJ who I had been corresponding with via email weeks leading up to the trip. She was up front with lined up at entrance with the rest of the staff! Flo and Trisha were the utmost professionals keeping track of tides, weather, massages, meals, outings, spa appointments, meals, and individual requests (and somehow always provided an atmosphere of calm, ease, and flawlessly relaxed orchestration. Oh, If you like snacks…dried mango and cookies and cold drinks we’re always available in the villas. I Had fun finding the nay palad logo stamped on everything… it felt like a wink at every move of the eye at this gorgeous property. The architectural design and tropical dreamscapes are quite the experience at this hideaway. You want quiet and privacy, you’ll get it. Staff were always just an iPad text away. In terms of the dining experiences, wow! Our family meals were memorable! We wanted a complex set of Filipino cuisine. We got it all and then some. (The breads!! The coconut flat bread the native deserts!) Delicious food and amazing service for every sit down meal. Nay Palad has a cadre of amazing professionals from Angel and Rue and the chefs serving and preparing exquisite meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To the massage therapists Ruby, Ira, and Joy. To the housekeeping staff that made the beautiful breathtaking rooms and sexy turndown of the billowing kulambo nets at night. To edmar serving warmth and delicious cocktails at sunset. To captain David and the boatmen who took us out canoeing and SUP in the mangroves and island hopping and snorkeling in the lovely boat! hosts Vince and Mart for welcoming us. It’s the community of people of this dreamy resort that make it unmatched. It was a once in a lifetime splurge, but honestly… I can’t wait to return to the beautiful mangroves, breathtaking beaches and luxurious villas. Maybe in my dreams. However, I’ll keep their Spotify playlist on repeat and relive Nay Palad daily (yes the playlists in the villa create a vibe!) Island paradise found here! Maraming salamat po, Nay Palad family. Can’t wait to come home again.

There is nothing like it. It isn't a boutique hotel or a luxury resort. It is so much more than that. The privacy, the warmth, the thoughtful care of all guests and their experiences is a notch above anything I've experienced anywhere before. It feels incredibly personal, relaxed, and kick back. I think they have created something truly exceptional here. They notion of "all inclusive" at a resort of this caliber seems to good to be true but it is! EVERYTHING is included. For us, that meant 2 to 3 surf trips, a land excursion to northern beaches with the most incredble picnic lunches, island hopping on their incredible boat, multiple massages, and incredibly special meals, etc... it is SO WORTH IT! There is a level of privacy here that is incredible and unique. You will not feel the other guests. Not in an unfriendly or haughty way, just in a way that lends itself to truly unwinding and relaxing. The incredible staff really curates an amazing experience for you each day.

We’ve stayed at many 5-star resorts around the world, but this one truly stands out. The service and attention to detail were unmatched, making our stay effortless from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly handled—excursions, dining, massages, and activities were all tailored to our preferences. The food was incredible, with every meal carefully prepared by a talented chef and team. One of our favorite touches was having dinner in a different, beautifully arranged location each night. The island hopping tour was a highlight. The crew was amazing, taking care of everything and even setting up a fantastic picnic for us. A big thank you to the guest experience and food and beverage teams, especially Mark and Noemi, who were wonderful. The Hideaway is a true hidden gem in the Philippines, and we can’t wait to come back!
