How NADINE LUSTRE Found Love & Built A Life In Siargao! | Karen Davila

Nadine Lustre and her boyfriend, French-Filipino entrepreneur Christophe “Chris” Bariou, have embraced a slower, nature-centered lifestyle in Siargao. Away from the fast pace of city life, the couple spends much of their time immersed in the island’s surf culture, sustainability, and local community while growing their shared business ventures. Their home base is Maison Bukana, an eco-conscious luxury villa in Malinao that blends French design with the natural beauty of Siargao’s mangroves and coastline. Together, they also co-founded Ver De Siargao, a fully plant-based vegan restaurant that reflects their passion for healthy living, sustainability, and mindful dining.
