XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

An idyllic, tropical haven for the beach lover, Amanpulo is set on its own private island surrounded by white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a coral reef. Pamalican Island is a nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles. The 40 Philippine–style casitas enjoy a variety of locations — amongst the treetops, on the beach or on the hillside overlooking the Sulu Sea.

The resort’s 30–metre swimming pool is bordered by two high bougainvillea trellises. The restaurant spills out onto a terrace, with breathtaking views to Manamoc Island across the channel. The masseuses offer a range of aromatherapy treatments in the privacy of the casita or in the open–air massage pavilion.

While some guests might prefer to laze and bask in sunshine and tranquillity, the rich marine waters and surrounding reef provide a host of adventurous options from diving and windsurfing to snorkelling and waterskiing. Amanpulo keeps a variety of boats for island hopping, fishing and lazy–day sailing.
