Amanpulo is the sole inhabitant of Pamalikan, a small island that is part of the Cuyo Archipelago in the Sulu Sea. Although it seems impossibly remote, the resort’s twice-daily private 15-seater jet connects it to Manila in just over an hour.

The hotel looks like a stock photo in the “tropical island” category: turquoise waters, powdery beaches and swaying palm trees. The resort was specially designed so that the unspoiled wild nature of the island attracted the general attention. Also, most of the buildings are so spread out that it often feels like you have the island all to yourself even when the resort is operating at full occupancy.

You will be met by your personal assistant with a flower garland and a cold towel when you disembark on the resort’s private runway. This assistant helps with activities, dinner arrangements and other matters during your stay. As you’d expect from an Aman resort, the rest of the almost 400 staff members are just as friendly – often proactive and knowledgeable about guests’ names and preferences.

All rooms have the same size and layout, but prices vary according to their privileges: some have direct access to the beach, while others have private pools or dazzling sea views. Each comes with a golf cart to navigate the island.

For breakfast, menu items with main dishes are served. There are several restaurants to choose from for lunch and dinner: Nama serves sushi, Beach Club offers Mediterranean cuisine, and The Club House emphasizes Filipino classics.
