Amanpulo
Experience castaway life on the private paradise island of Pamalican
Accessible only by private plane, Amanpulo is around an hour from Manila, yet feels a world away from anywhere, blissfully marooned in the middle of the sea. Ringed by miles of white sands that dip into turquoise waters, its emerald-green hinterland shelters Casitas and Villas built into the forest canopy, perched on the hillside, or set along the 6.5km beach. The calm, clear seas in front of the Beach Club are ideal for divers looking to explore the coral reef beginning just 300 metres from the shore, teeming with rich marine life.
Whether it is sailing or scuba diving, windsurfing or simply frolicking in the water, Amanpulo offers an abundance of aquatic activities off the beaches surrounding the Pamalican Island, all available to novices and experts alike. On land, tennis courts and bicycles are complemented by nature walks, which take in the lush indigenous plants as well as the dozens of bird species that make seasonal homes on the island and the nesting sites of green and hawksbill sea turtles. At night, an astronomical refracting telescope helps get up close to the stars
Until 21 December 2021
Guests staying four nights or more can take advantage of complimentary flights to and from the private island of Pamalican. Amanpulo’s space and seclusion makes it as suited to families as to couples, and children up to 11 years old may share their parents’ casita at no additional cost.
Away from the world, Amanpulo lies blissfully marooned in turquoise waters, its airy casitas emerging from swaying palms. Ringed by 6.5 kilometres of coral sands, the luxury Palawan hotel invites all-day lounging with spa treatments; others might prefer to hike the island, pound the tennis courts, or dive the reefs that lie just offshore
