History
The hideaway opened in 2012 as the Dedon Island Resort on Siargao Island in the Philippines, created by Belgian entrepreneur Bobby Dekeyser — a former Bayern Munich goalkeeper and founder of the DEDON outdoor-furniture brand — with architecture by Daniel Pouzet. Just ten villas were hand-crafted by Filipino artisans in a 'barefoot luxury' idiom.
Renamed Nay Palad Hideaway, the resort was largely destroyed by Typhoon Odette (Rai) in December 2021 and rebuilt, reopening around 2023. Its name blends the Filipino 'nanay' and 'palad' — evoking a mother's palm — and it runs an all-inclusive, no-wallet model, holding a MICHELIN Key and membership in The Set Collection.
