Maldives, the "pearl of the Indian Ocean", has a blue sky and white clouds, coconut groves, and clear and white water.
Undoubtedly, the Maldives is a paradise located in the Indian Ocean, it symbolizes romance and dreamy islands, it is a paradise for island control, and it is also a must go to far away places on many people's wish lists.
This is a hotel-controlled paradise. Six Senses, One & Only, White Horse Estate, Soneva Jani... Almost every luxury brand you can think of has its home here, and many luxury resort brands have been founded in Madai.
At the same time, the Maldives is also the culmination of the "one island, one hotel, one island and one paradise", such resorts usually prohibit non-resort tourists from going to the island, giving tourists a safer and more private holiday experience.
One Island One Hotel is carried forward by Madai, but it is by no means exclusive to Madai. In Xiaozan's mind, there is a luxury resort in Southeast Asia that is comparable to the first echelon of luxury hotels in Madai, which is Amanpulo in the northwest of Palawan Island in the Philippines, which is also the only "one island, one hotel" Aman in the world.
It seems that the Philippines is one of the most underrated travel destinations in Southeast Asia. When it comes to vacation in the Philippines, only Boracay and Bohol are slightly "out of the loop", in fact, the Philippines sits on excellent island resources, the scenery is comparable to Madai, Palau, Fiji, but it is easier to reach than these destinations.
There are more than 7,000 large and small islands in the Philippines, which are dotted in the blue waves of the western Pacific Ocean, some of them are volcanic islands, some are lagoon islands, some are coral islands, they are colorful and beautiful.
Palawan, where Amanproro is located, is undoubtedly a pearl among the many islands. Palawan is not just an isolated island, but a chain of 1,796 large and small islands, the main island of which has an irregular coastline of 1,959 kilometers.
As the most environmentally intact place in the Philippine archipelago, Palawan was listed as a national wildlife sanctuary as early as 1976 AD. The dense forests and diverse ecosystems that have been preserved have also earned it a great reputation.
In the mouths of travelers, it is a "maritime utopia", the "pearl of the Western Pacific", a "paradise for the diving world", and "the last ecological virgin land of the Philippines".
To experience the luxury of Palawan, Zanado highly recommends Raffles Philippines Makati Philippines 7 Days 6 Nights Hidden Luxury, 7 Days 6 Nights Itinerary Arrangement 4 Nights Amampuro, 2 Nights Raffles Manila Makati with International Roundtrip Business Class Airfare and Manila Airport Private Jet Transfer to and from Amanpro Resort.
Amanpro Resort
Tens
Located on the extremely private island of Pamarikán, northwest of Palawan, Amanpro Resort is a fascinating sea isolated from the rest of the world.
Here, the blue Sulu water, fine white sand, colorful coral reefs, lush rainforest... Along the 6.5 km long winding coast, you'll enjoy the hidden pleasures of a private island.
Miles of white sand gently surrounded by rippling waters, once a family-run coconut plantation, now shaded by a wide range of cottages and villas perched on forest covers, perched on hillsides or along a 6.5-kilometre stretch of beach, each spacious lodge presents their island home from the inside out, complete with an island explorer.
The resort has 42 beachfront, treetop, mountain huts and spacious villas. Modeled after a Native Filipino stilt house with a double-roofed farmhouse, the bungalows have an open interior layout with a sand path leading to the beach, where you can watch the emerald waters of the Sulu Sea from the hill huts, or the serenity of the lush rainforest pavilion on the side of the treetop cottage.
The spacious wooden observation deck, clean-washed stone walls and hammocks hidden in the shade of trees all reflect the island's traditional elements, and this combination of Western lifestyle and oriental artifacts creates a unique Filipino aesthetic.
The resort's five restaurants feature Filipino, Japanese, Mediterranean and international cuisine, fresh seafood caught in the nearby seas, as well as nutritious raw vegetables and herbs from local gardens. From club restaurants to beach clubs to private pavilions, you can dine where you like or enjoy a leisurely barbecue directly on the romantic beach.
