Amanpulo, meaning ‘peaceful island’, is a secluded island retreat in northern Palawan, Philippines. Fringed by white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and a coral reef, Amanpulo is accessible via private plane from Manila that touches down on the island's own runway. Pamalican Island is solely dedicated to Amanpulo, instilling a return-to-nature escape. The 42 Casitas are situated on the beach or on the hillside, while the 17 Villas are on the shoreline. Palm-lined paths lead to a selection of dining options, the Aman Spa, organic farm, Sea Sports Hut, the Dive Centre, the Kite and Surf Centre, and various venues for bespoke events.
