Siargao Island's terrestrial, wetland, and marine ecosystems and its neighboring islets have been designated as protected areas called Siargao Island Protected Landscape and Seascape (SIPLAS). At the southeastern tip of the island is Nay Palad Hideaway, a key player in safeguarding the mangroves, ocean, and wildlife that are exclusive to this region of the Philippines.
Nay Palad Hideaway offers a barefoot luxury experience where guests connect with nature and Siargao’s culture. Designer Daniel Pouzet envisioned a destination infused with local design, spa traditions, and seasonal cuisine, all rooted in sustainability. The resort’s mission centers on protecting marine habitats and advancing conservation, while the Dekeyser & Friends Foundation supports community projects focused on sustainability.
Protection of 104 hectares of ancient mangroves, along with coral reef rehabilitation, beach forest renewal, seagrass conservation, and safeguarding rare species within the Siargao Island Protected Landscape and Seascape (SIPLAS).
Nay Palad Hideaway supports the Dekeyser & Friends Compostela Village Project in Cebu, helping families build sustainable livelihoods through education, empowerment, and entrepreneurship.
Local sourcing is central to its ethos: the resort was built with local materials, chefs collaborate with island fishers and foragers, and spa treatments are carried out by local practitioners using traditional methods.
Nay Palad Hideaway showcases local weavers and craftsmen through its furnishings and architecture, using sustainable materials like banana leaf fibre. Its Barefoot Living philosophy —shaping design, culture, and activities—invites guests of all ages to reconnect with nature, tradition, and community.
Nay Palad Hideaway supports local businesses that offer the hospitality and quality guests expect from the resort.
The resort shop carries a range of products that are “Made with Love in Compostela,” a sustainable village project managed by the Dekeyser & Friends Foundation.
