The tear-drop-shaped island of Siargao remains on the bucket list of many travelers looking for their next island paradise vacation.
The island offers a vibrant party atmosphere and is known as the surfing capital of the Philippines. A convenient way to get here is via the boutique airline Sunlight Air, which offers flights from Manila or Clark Airport. These smaller planes make for a more comfortable and timely journey.
We have discovered that Siargao also offers a laid-back, luxury experience on the southeastern tip of the island. Here, you will find resorts along a well-paved road overlooking the Philippine Sea. If you just want to rest, enjoy cocktails, and watch the sunset, this is the place to be.
A barefoot paradise
One resort that stands out is Nay Palad Hideaway, the epitome of barefoot luxury. Nay Palad Hideaway (formerly known as Dedon Island Resort) is located amidst lush mangrove forests and the powdery white sands of Siargao. It is also a few minutes away from the many bars and restaurants on General Luna’s Tourism Road. Guests can be shuttled by the resort to and from any part of Siargao’s many attractions.
“Nay Palad” is a Tagalog word that translates to a mother’s palm, referencing how guests at the resort are treated as close family members. Respect and love are immediately felt upon arrival at the airport.
Guests are welcomed by the staff in native headdresses, complete with warm and bright smiles. A feeling of going barefoot suddenly overcomes you as you walk along the soft, sandy pathways of the resort, creating a true connection to one’s being and the earth.
The resort is located in the Malinao area, which is close to tropical jungles, underground caves, untouched beaches, deep-sea fishing, and the legendary surfing at Cloud 9. The staff can also assist in arranging surfing lessons for the whole family, ensuring a stress-free and customized stay for everyone. Your day at the resort starts the moment you wake up, guided by how you feel.
The team can assist guests in creating activities and excursions tailored to their wishes. Fabulous boats are ready, complete with captain and crew, to take you to any of the many secluded beaches on nearby islands. From deep-sea fishing and surfing the world-famous waves of Cloud 9 to kayaking through ancient mangroves and circumnavigating the island in a fancy jeepney, both kids and adults can also enjoy an ice cream-making session with Chef Père Massana.
The resort’s spa is ready to pamper guests with its signature massages and mani-pedis.
This vacation is truly an experience of hospitality, freedom, and beauty that can never be fully described, only shared. A stay at this resort will fill your heart with all you need to know.
Nay Palad Hideaway is all-inclusive and offers unlimited food and drinks. Guests can leave their wallets in their villas, as they won’t need them inside the resort.
Their mission statement is rooted in simplicity, authenticity, sustainability, and a deep respect for the natural beauty of the surroundings.
