Novices will welcome the clear seas in front of the Beach Club and the gentle drop-off to deeper waters. A variety of fine dive locations open up on both sides of Pamalican Island, home to Amanpulo, and most are just a short boat ride away. Discover them with The Amanpulo Underwater Experience.

Included are five nights’ accommodation in a Beach Casita, full breakfast daily, served in the casita or in the Restaurant, one gourmet picnic lunch basket for two and a choice of one dive programme.

Tim — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:57:36 +0000

A private island, where sea and sky meet as one, where velvet white sand is caressed by the lap of crystal water, where palms bow to vermillion bougainvillea in tropically kissed vegetation, where nature’s hand streaks the sun’s iridescences on its unbridled canvas, where night skies are admired beside the crackle of a ‘tepee’ beach fire, where sleep is submerged in pristine white, where luxury is defined by its earth-given beauty, where peace embraces its island host. This place is Amanpulo, in the Philippines, a realisation of a dream.
