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 Casistas and villas built intho 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 300m 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.

The sand near the Beach Club is lined with umbrellas and reclining chairs; all meals are served in its open-air pavilion and deck. A number of watercraft and windsurfing gear suitable for all abilities is available at the Sea Sports and Windsurf Huts, as well as kayaks and fishing equipment. Clear waters ensure excellent visibility, and scuba and snorkeling guides can cater to divers of all abilities, including complete beginners.
Loosely modeled after native Bahay Kubo dwellings with an open-plan, twin-roofed design, Amanpulo’s Casitas offer luxury accommodation with direct beach access via sandy footpaths, magnificent views of the turquoise sea from the hillside, or seclusion within the forest canopy. Broad wooden decks, hammocks in secluded bowers and pebble-washed walls are just some of the traditional Palawan Island elements included. Two Casitas have private plunge pools.
The 68-square-meter (731-square-foot) Beach Casitas are set along Amanpulo’s white-sand beach, with wooden sundecks and beach-side hammocks for private lounging.
