I assume that you mean rewritten URL when you say Friendly URL? Please 
paste your rewrite rule for that location.

But in general I think that you should remove the rewrite rule for that 
location, and add the following:

Assuming that you mean a secret directory rather than page, add alias or 
root directive, e.g.

location ~* ^/secret-page/ {
   
   allow 1.1.1.1;
   deny all;

   alias       /path/to/physical/secret-dir/;
}


If it really is a single page then try:

location = /secret-page/ {

   allow 1.1.1.1;
   deny all;

   try_files 	/path/to/physical/file
}
