Nay Palad Hideaway

What an exceptional experience. The team at Nay Palad is top notch. Friendly and ever helpful. They live up to the meaning of hospitality all the time. So much activities to do…your choice. They keep track of your activities and they remind you of your next itinerary. Communication is a breeze, no phones at the villa, but they have IPad to get in touch with the team. They are just a message away and quick to respond too. Very relaxing resort. I was looking for a quiet resort and found it there. Well appointed furniture and resort design. Food is excellent too, with a lot of choices for drinks/refreshment. Chef Sean is very talented and creative with the food. I really liked the concept of having your meal at different locations in the resort and I looked forward to the next dining spot, including lunch at Corregidor island. Every spot is pleasing to the eyes, not only for aesthetics but sustainability. I appreciate Nay Palad ‘s commitment to sustainability. The villa we stayed in is a zen spot. Did the massages and pampering offerings at any time I wanted to. Yoga session with Echo was rejuvenating. He focused on self love and gratitude. Felt like a spiritual retreat. I did not have to worry about anything with this Siargao visit. Even our laundry is taken care of. The team treated us as part of their family— the Filipino way, very accommodating. I enjoyed my conversations with Mart, it was personable, not business like. I felt chatting with a friend. Will definitely return to Nay Palad and would highly recommend it. To Mart and team- THANK YOU for an amazing stay and experience. I am so thrilled I ended up at Nay Palad rather than A______o. Kudos!

We have stayed at some of the best hotels in the world and travelled to many countries but Nay Palad managed to do something quite different to anywhere else….it felt like a genuine home from home for our entire 9 nights we were there, The clue is in the name ‘Hideaway’ and it lives up to its promise in every way. The welcome at the airport, with two lovely smiling people welcoming us, the cold Sampaguita towels and what felt like the entire team assembling to welcome us when we arrived at Nay Palad felt so special. The key point is that this all felt truly authentic, not forced or doing a job, rather everyone seemed genuinely interested in us from the moment we arrived. This never faltered once in 10 days. As we walked into the main building and out to the pool and bar area, I was like, ‘wow, this is breathtaking’; the beautiful Dedon furniture (we have at home) dotted around perfectly manicured and beautiful grass lawns down to the beach and around the pool. Huge oversized beds on the beach all looking out to a Pagoda from which to watch sunsets in the sea. Our villa was dreamy and anything was a quick message on Telegram away. The team managed to provide exceptional luxury and outstanding service but in such a low key and friendly way. We had a 60 or 90 minute massage every evening and my wife had a yoga session, some of which were quite spiritual every morning. She feels totally restored. Every meal was served in a new location that was in itself fun and playful. The only menu was at breakfast. Any juice was possible. Super healthy choices. Dinner was always exceptional, innovative and really tasty as well as looking beautiful. It would rank up there at the highest in London in my opinion. Such a delight to just trust the chef and his team to delight us everyday. I dubbed the bar ‘the best bar in the world’ (and I’ve certainly drank in many of them)….i mostly made my own cocktails or made them with one of the team….so laid back, it felt like my own bar. We did a bunch of activities, paddle boarding in the mangroves, sunset watching on the naked island, sea pagoda and mangrove pagoda, island tour, island hopping…we felt so looked after and loved by everyone all the time. We head home with hardly any laundry because it was all done in quick fashion and delicates all looked after well with everything laid out in our room at the end of each day, Wonderful beach walks, (walking around the little island just offshore at low tide is a must) and fabulous sunsets! Thank you to all the Nay Palad team, so Martin, Anne, Em-Em, Flo, Jake and Jake, Nielsen, Thor, Sean & the entire culinary team, CJ, Joelle, Chriz and Belen (thank you for your amazing massages for my wife) and everyone else…not one person was anything les than outstanding in every way! This place is true barefoot luxury (I literally didn’t wear any shoes for our entire stay), a real home from home and a very special hideaway. I recommend Nay Palad 100%!

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!
