LOCATION
Amanpulo is located on Pamalican Island, part of the Cuyo Archipelago in Palawan, Philippines. This remote island is surrounded by the Sulu Sea and is characterised by its pristine white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs. The island, accessible only to resort guests, offers a secluded paradise that epitomises tropical tranquillity and natural beauty.

GETTING THERE
From the United Kingdom, reaching Amanpulo involves flying to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, which is serviced by major airlines from major UK airports. From Manila, guests must take a further flight on a private charter operated by Amanpulo, which lands directly on Pamalican Island. This last leg of the journey takes approximately 70 minutes and offers breathtaking aerial views of the Philippine archipelago.

WHEN TO GO
The best time to visit Amanpulo is during the dry season, from November to May, when the weather is most favourable, with less rainfall and moderate temperatures. This period features sunny days ideal for beach activities and water sports. The wet season, from June to October, brings more rain and higher humidity, but the resort remains open, offering lush landscapes and quieter moments for those who prefer solitude.
