Amanpulo

After check-in at Amanpulo’s hanger, fly by private air charter (1 hour 10 minutes).

The resort’s Beach, Treetop and Hillside Casitas are modelled after traditional Filipino bahay kubo houses, and feature hammocks, whitewashed walls and private wooden decks; Treetop Pool Casitas also include a personal plunge pool. For the ultimate in privacy, we recommend upgrading to a One or Two Bedroom Villa to benefit from a private swimming pool, butler service and a personal chef.

The island location means there is an excellent array of watersports and marine adventures to be enjoyed here. Snorkelling is a signature activity, with a wonderful coral reef to discover just 300 metres from the beach.

On land, there’s plenty to do too – relax at the Beach Club, play a round of tennis, go for a nature walk through the island’s lush jungle. The resort’s spa was voted the Best Resort Spa in the Philippines in 2016 and offers a variety of treatments including the traditional Hilot massage.

Dining is an experience, with four restaurants and two bars to choose from. Sample local and international cuisine at The Clubhouse, incredibly fresh seafood at Beach Club, wood-fired pizzas at Picnic Grove/Windsurf Hut, or Lagoon Club’s modern grill menu. Enjoy local and imported cigars at Lobby Bar, and don’t miss the experience at the floating Kawayan Bar.
