“As a relatively new, small and remote property, it’s a humbling honor to be awarded the ‘World’s Best Boutique Hotel’ and to be in such impressive company,” said Gregor Nassief, proprietor of Secret Bay. “This distinction is shared with the exceptional and dedicated Secret Bay staff, the property’s conceptual architect, Fruto Vivas, our amazing 3,000+ guests who have welcomed us into their lives over the past five years, and my wife, Sandra, whose unending support made a world of difference.”

Having just added our newest treehouse-style residences, the Ylang Ylang Villas, making a total of eight residences, Secret Bay is more committed than ever to its values of sustainability and community, and delivering an extraordinary guest experience. We are truly humbled and honored by this award.
