Nay Palad Hideaway is a luxury resort located on Siargao Island in the southern Philippines. The property is peppered with nine cabanas by top designers, Jean-Marie Massaud and Daniel Pouzet. Relax there or in the outdoor living room and admire the natural surroundings – the ancient mangrove forest on one side and the bath-warm ocean on the other.

The resort can only accommodate 20 people at a time and was built using local craftsmen and materials. Local natural beauty spots are worth exploring; one of the most popular is a maze of lagoons and caves that you can access via the resort’s boat. The furniture is designed by the owner, Robert Dekeyser in his unique woven style and the restaurant serves a variety of cuisine all cooked to order and sourced from the resort’s own organic farm. Local attractions are few on this secluded paradise but you can go by motorbike to a tiny town with a bustling fish market or check out the famous Cloud 9 surf break.
