Amanpulo

At Amanpulo, a private island retreat, exploration and enjoyment are centred on the Sulu Sea's turquoise seas, which are home to colourful coral reefs. Inside and exterior, each of the 42 coastal, treetop, and hillside Casitas and the large Villas are a reflection of their island home. With tables made of coconut shells, walls painted with pebbles, baths made of Cebu marble, and beds with rattan headboards, each twin-roofed Casita provides a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors.

In one of the various treatments at Amanpulo's spa, warm banana leaves and cold-pressed coconut oil provide a reviving contrast. The resort's restaurants offer simply prepared meals with Manamoc Island views that uses products cultivated in the resort's gardens. Amanpulo has a variety of water sports for beginners and specialists alike, including sailing, scuba diving, windsurfing, and just plain splashing around.
