Nay Palad Hideaway

Nay Palad Hideaway is an all-inclusive resort of just nine villas on a private stretch of beach on Siargao Island, in the southern Philippines. Villas range from one-bedroom hideaways tucked into the gardens to a four-bedroom villa with a treehouse and private pool. All the accommodation is handcrafted from local materials, some of it dating back to the resort's origins as a maker of outdoor furniture, including hanging day beds, carved wooden headboards, and woven coconut-leaf detailing. Each has a front glass wall that opens the room to the garden, an indoor-outdoor shower, and an aromatherapy burner with essential oils.

Surf Siargao's famous breaks or take a lesson, kayak or paddleboard out to the mangroves, and join a cooking class using local ingredients. Book a traditional Filipino hilot massage at the spa's cluster of thatch-roofed treatment huts, hidden in the forest and lit by lanterns after dark. In the evening, watch a film on the outdoor screen strung between two coconut palms by the pool.
