Derek Ramsay’s Glass House in Palawan
In this beachside escape, you can dine under the stars, marvel at works of art and enjoy the perks of island life

It’s not surprising why many are falling in love with the beauty of Palawan. Beyond the islands and crystal clear water, the overall vibe is calming and it’s safe to say that you’ll always want to go back to the serenity it offers. It seems that actor Derek Ramsay and his family feel the same about the place. Not only do they own two islands, they also chose to build a beach house in the town of San Vicente in 2013.
The said project was a family affair—with Daddy Derek in charge of the structural design, while Derek worked with Mommy Medy in polishing the interiors. The glass-and-steel house is the perfect beachside home as it allows the owners and their guests to take in the view of paradise. Though Mommy Medy says that the house is a work in progress, we won’t mind staying in the place for a week or more. It’s not only furnished with designer pieces, you can take a breather, read a book, and enjoy a snack in any part of the house and still feel the soothing effect of nature as well.
