The view is simply sublime from Amanpulo, set on a serene private island – in fact, the name Amanpulo means “peaceful island.” Lovebirds flock here for the remoteness and the lavish yet discreet service, hallmarks of an outstanding romantic retreat. There are 18 villas and 42 casitas (beach pool, beach, hillside, and treetop), each with a spacious wooden deck and lounge chairs as well as a raised Cebu marble bathtub. For the best views, ask for the Deluxe Hillside Casita with a full, expansive view of the ocean. Feeling active? The surrounding seas and fish-filled reef are a snorkeler’s and diver’s dream.

In the hotel’s own words

Amanpulo, meaning ‘peaceful island’, is a secluded island retreat that bestows a safe, private escape to nature. Fringed by white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and a coral reef, Amanpulo is accessible via private plane from Manila in a 70-minute flight that touches down on the island’s very own runway.

Located in the Cuyo Archipelago of northern Palawan in the Philippines, Pamalican Island is solely dedicated to Amanpulo. The island is five kilometres long, and is home to diverse flora and fauna.

Scattered across the island, all 43 Casitas fulfil the promise of a solitary hideaway. Treetop and Hillside Casitas are discreetly mounted on highland, Treetop Pool Casitas feature a luxurious plunge pool, and Deluxe Hillside Casitas offer panoramic views of the sea. The Beach Casitas gracefully take space on the beachfront.

Tucked in pockets of privacy along the beach, the 17 Villas of Amanpulo are secluded hideaway homes imbued with the generosity of space designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The one-, two- , three- , four-bedroom Villas sit on expansive estate properties with a private pool and spacious living and dining pavilions at the heart of the complex. The verdant forest surrounding the Villas imbue a sense of serene isolation. The Villa stay comes with the service of a dedicated butler and chef.

Club cars are provided for independent island exploration. Nestled on the northern hillside is the Aman Spa, offering an enriching selection of holistic wellness facilities and treatments. Palm-lined sandy paths lead to a selection of dining options with menus that highlight on freshness using ingredients from the island’s flourishing organic farm.

Adventure facilities include the Sea Sports Hut with a variety of water-sports equipment and cruising options, the Padi Dive Centre, the seasonal Kite and Surf Centre, and the West Villa Clubhouse for bespoke events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
