Amanpulo Resort Day Experience
About this tour
Amanpulo, Aman's first resort and still its most legendary, sits on Pamalican Island — a private coral cay 300 kilometres from Manila, accessible only by chartered Cessna Grand Caravan from Manila's Ninoy Aquino airport. The 40-minute flight over the Sulu Sea is itself a spectacular introduction to one of the world's most extraordinary resorts.
The day experience grants access to Amanpulo's house reef — one of the most pristine coral ecosystems in the Philippines, with sea turtles feeding daily and visibility exceeding 25 metres. After a morning snorkel guided by the resort's marine biologist, guests are escorted to a private beach casita for a gourmet lunch from the resort's multi-cuisine kitchen (sushi, Filipino, Mediterranean, all organic sourced). The afternoon is free to use the resort's non-motorised water sports (kayak, paddleboard, Hobie Cat), swim at the beach, or book a signature Aman spa treatment (60-minute hilot massage included).
The return flight departs at 5:00 PM, leaving you back in Manila in time for dinner. An experience that residents of Pamalican pay US$2,000 per night to access — available for one extraordinary day.
