Designed by acclaimed architect Daniel Pouzet, Nay Palad Hideaway draws inspiration from traditional Filipino craftsmanship and the island’s natural environment. The architecture features flowing, open-air spaces that invite the cool ocean breeze while blending harmoniously with the landscape. Each villa showcases organic materials, from bamboo to handcrafted furniture made by local artisans.

At Nay Palad Hideaway, sustainability is woven into every aspect of the resort, from its solar-powered energy to fresh produce cultivated from the resort’s organic gardens or sourced from the local community. The resort’s ethos of barefoot luxury ensures that guests indulge in comfort while keeping sustainability at the forefront.

For culinary enthusiasts, Nay Palad Hideaway offers an extraordinary dining experience.
