DAYEA is a luxury resort currently taking shape on a hilltop in El Nido, Palawan, just 500 meters from town, yet deliberately set apart from its pace.

From the beginning, DAYEA is being built to feel alive, human, and intentional. For us, luxury is defined by what is felt - the calm, care, and coherence, shaped by countless gestures guests may never notice but always experience.

Inspired by Dayea, a goddess in Philippine mythology who guards hidden truths, expresses power in silence, and is the key to unraveling life’s mysteries, DAYEA is built on the belief that meaningful experiences unfold quietly. Every choice, from architecture and operations to the way the team works together, is made with intention, turning a bold vision into a living, breathing guest experience.

The resort is set to open in early 2028.

As DAYEA takes form, we are assembling a founding team guided by shared values:
 • to challenge ideas with kindness,
 • to collaborate as though the outcome belongs to all of us,
 • to care with genuine respect for our guests, for one another, and for the environment, and
 • to remain deeply grounded in a sense of community.

We believe the world is better when luxury honors people, place, and purpose. 

If this way of building resonates with you, you will understand what DAYEA stands for.
