Nay Palad Gmbh

What Nay Palad Gmbh does

Nay Palad GmbH is a privately held, German-domiciled (GmbH) holding entity that operates the Nay Palad Hideaway, a single-property luxury resort on Siargao Island, Philippines, through its wholly-owned Philippine operating subsidiary Cayama Inc. The resort comprises 10 villas (Garden View, Ocean View, Family, Coral, and Perlah) accommodating up to 60 guests, situated on 104 hectares bordering ancient mangrove forests and a Pacific beach. Founded by Bobby Dekeyser (former Bayern Munich professional soccer player and DEDON furniture founder) and opened in 2012 as Dedon Island Resort, the property was devastated by Typhoon Odette in December 2021, fully rebuilt, and reopened in 2023 under the Nay Palad Hideaway brand with architect Daniel Pouzet's design.

The operating model is an all-inclusive, direct-to-consumer luxury hospitality offering. Rates are structured per person per night and cover accommodation, full-board farm-to-table dining (Executive Chef Thorsten), beverages (excluding champagne and premium wines), all activities and water sports, unlimited spa treatments, yoga, and airport transfers from Siargao's Sayak Airport. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct (Cloudbeds-powered website booking, WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, email) with selective curated-network partnerships (The Set Collection, Authentic Hotels). Core customer segments are affluent couples and honeymooners, multi-generational families, world-class surfers (via exclusive TropicSurf partnership), wellness seekers, and destination wedding/celebration buyers (up to 80 guests). The resort earned the self-styled 'Birthplace of Barefoot Luxury' positioning, supported by Condé Nast Traveler Gold List 2026, Travel+Leisure World's Best Awards 2025 (No. 1 in Philippines and Southeast Asia), MICHELIN One Key, and ICRT Gold for responsible tourism. Technology is standard hospitality infrastructure (Cloudbeds, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta) with no proprietary platform or AI capabilities.
