Amanpulo is a romantic getaway with abundant sun, sand and surf. 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 fishing. There are trained staff on hand to ensure visitors have a safe and rewarding experience.
Amanpulo (which means 'peaceful island') is set on a secluded, private island. Pamalican is part of the Quiniluban group, which makes up the northern half of the Cuyo Islands and is one of nearly 1,800 islands in Palawan, the largest province in the Philippines. A low-lying coral island, Pamalican is rimmed by seven square kilometres of pristine reef.
