The property

Aman on a private island

Amanpulo occupies all of Pamalican — a small island surrounded by a coral reef that you can circumnavigate by boat in under an hour. Guests fly in on Aman's own aircraft from Manila, which sets the tone immediately. Casitas are set along the beach or up on the ridge, each with a buggy, and the density is very low. The reef is in genuinely good condition and the turtle nesting programme is active.
