Just an hour’s flight southwest of Manila, Amanpulo welcomes you to the tranquil shores of Pamalican Island, where sparkling white sands and untouched reefs offer the perfect escape. For over 30 years, the resort has become an unrivalled destination for those in search of a tropical paradise, offering a full immersion into its beautiful natural surroundings. Starting October 2024, Amanpulo is excited to introduce new experiences – from culinary journeys to the Harmony by Nature retreat – all designed to immerse you even deeper into the island’s magic and leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
Culinary Journeys
Bespoke Private Dining
Secluded locations for private picnics and romantic fine dining abound on the island, whether in an oceanfront cove or high on the hillside with views across the horizon. The cliff-top setting known as Gary’s Nest is one such venue, and several secret beachfront spots are also dotted around the coastline. It’s even possible to dine on the island’s runway – a one-of-a-kind setting for an evening under the stars. Enhancing its already extensive private dining offering, the resort is pleased to introduce a new Destination Dining Guide, designed to help guests curate personalised culinary journeys with effortless ease.
Choose from a collection of unique venues across the island, before selecting from a choice of new menus, with an option to suit every occasion. Awaken the senses with a multi-course Filipino feast; dine on fresh catch-of-the-day; or taste the island’s kitchen garden with a menu of vegetarian plates. There is also the opportunity to further enhance each menu, adding indulgent favourites such as lobster and A5 Waygu beef, perfect for celebrations. All that remains is to add a personal touch with music, entertainment and flowers, creating a personalised dining experience.
Clubhouse Concept
At the heart of the island is the resort’s convivial Clubhouse which welcomes a new culinary concept for the winter season ahead. Offering Filipino cuisine alongside Clubhouse classics and steaks, enjoy indoor or poolside dining in an ambiance enriched with solid wood columns and classic Filipino decor. Open all day, the Clubhouse is perfect for a nourishing breakfast, or a romantic evening serenaded by the soft sounds of a live guitar.
Alternative Adventures
Runway Go-Karting An exhilarating new experience on the Amanpulo runway, Go-Karting offers a unique way to embrace the beauty of the island’s surrounds. Guests aged eight and above can speed towards the horizon, feeling the rush of the breeze against their skin. While only ten-minutes in length, the experience leaves senses invigorated, and energy-levels lifted – ideal for families and groups.
Amanpulo Climb
Designed to develop strength, flexibility, strategy and critical thinking, Amanpulo is pleased to introduce a new, state-of-the-art climbing wall, uniquely situated at the airport hangar. Guided by an expert, climbers of all levels and abilities can attempt a challenging ascent, with a mini climbing wall available for little ones also wishing to join the adventure. Standing at five metres tall, the wall is open daily from 9am to 6pm, with complimentary sessions available in the activity schedule on selected days.
Kawayan Bar and iBubble Experience
Amanpulo’s renowned Kawayan Bar provides a serene and secluded spot for lounging, snorkelling and sunset cocktails, all while floating in the island’s turquoise waters. Reached by a short boat trip from Amanpulo’s shores, the entirely privatised Kawayan Bar Experience is now enhanced with the use of an iBubble watercraft, adding a new dimension to underwater adventures. With its dynamic controls, the iBubble allows guests to adjust their speed and effortlessly glide through the water, perfect for observing the rich marine life that surrounds.
Island Wellness
Harmony by Nature Designed to harmonise body and mind through the healing power of sunrise and sunset, Amanpulo’s three-night Harmony by Nature retreat invites guests to reconnect with Mother Nature, promoting balance, relaxation and rejuvenation. Begin each day with Sunrise Yoga on the beach, or with a Nourishing Massage Ritual in the hilltop spa. Wind down at dusk with Sunset Canvas sessions, inspiring creativity, or a serenaded Sunset Cruise around the island. By night, Moon Yoga Meditation takes place on the sands, before Good Night Massages lull participants into a state of peaceful slumber in the comfort of their own pavilion or villa.
