There’s something special happening at Ilaw Ilaw Villas — and we’re not talking about just sunsets and island vibes.

A few days ago, a determined traveler and content creator reached out through Airbnb. She had a humble request: a chance to stay in exchange for exposure. But what came next sparked something bigger.

She introduced herself as Tina (@ick_foryou on Instagram), a real estate assistant from Davao juggling multiple jobs to support her younger siblings. And while her message was simple, her story carried weight. She wasn’t asking for a favor — she was offering value. So, we took a chance.

She stayed. She posted. And she connected.

Tina described the villa as peaceful, cozy, and far from the usual noise — a perfect place to reset. She spoke highly of the space, the responsiveness of the housekeeping team, and yes, even Natasha, our massive but sweet island dog.

But what makes this story more interesting is what came after.

Tina is now quietly helping us grow. Her mission? Help us build our newly launched Instagram page: www.instagram.com/ilawilawvillas

In return, we’re running a mysterious campaign.

It’s called the Secret Stay Deal.

We’re not making this a press release. We’re not posting headlines.

We’re just letting a few curious people in on something worth discovering.

The stay is real. The story is honest. And the offer? Well, that’s the secret.
