Amanpulo: A Tropical Paradise of Pamalican Island

nice view of Sibu Sarawak — Pamalican Island is dedicated to Amanpulo.

Named after the Sanskrit word for peace, (Aman), and the Tagalog word for the island (Pulo), Amanpulo is a serene retreat offering the pure white sands, turquoise seas and endless blue skies for which the Philippine archipelago is famed.

The entire island of Pamalican is dedicated to Amanpulo, fringed by seven square kilometres of pristine coral reef and lapped by the tranquil Sulu Sea.

Amanpulo on Pamalican is part of the Quiniluban Group of Cuyo Islands, situated in the north of the Philippine province of Palawan.

Powdery white sand beaches encircle the whole of Pamalican Island, ideal for circumnavigating Amanpulo barefoot.

Located 288 kilometres south of Manila, Pamalican is five kilometres long and only 500 metres across at its widest point.

Amanpulo’s facilities enjoy a spacious layout complementing their natural surroundings. The resort’s casitas are situated on the beach, amongst the treetops or on the hillside overlooking the Sulu Sea.

Each has its own private buggy allowing independent travel on the island.

Set in the natural seclusion of Pamalican Island's idyllic landscape, Amanpulo's Casitas and Villas are set on the beachfront or ensconced within the forest canopy. — Set in the natural seclusion of Pamalican Island’s idyllic landscape, Amanpulo’s Casitas and Villas are set on the beachfront or ensconced within the forest canopy.
