4 Nights (5 Days)
November – May
5* Hotel
You can still feel the weight of the silk and lace, the ghost-ache of greeting a hundred guests, and the frantic hum of a wedding playlist that hasn’t quite left your head.
Then, the plane door opens at Pamalican.
The first thing you notice is the air. It smells like crushed sea salt and wild frangipani, warm and thick enough to feel like a silk sheet against your skin. The second thing is the silence. Not an empty silence, but a living one: the rhythmic, low-frequency hush of the Sulu Sea meeting white sand that drifts like fine silk under your feet.
At Amanpulo, the world stops asking for your time. Your villa is a sanctuary of honey-colored wood and cool stone, where the only schedule is the tide. There are no lobbies, no plastic wristbands, and no " Honeymooner Table No. 4" in a crowded dining room.
This is what you earned. Take it.

Day 1
Arrival in Manila and Private charter flight to Pamalican Island, stay at Amanpulo Beach House
Your charter takes off from Manila and flies seventy minutes over turquoise water. You land on Pamalican Island where your club car drives you straight to your villa; no lobby, no check-in desk. Your villa has an infinity pool, an open bedroom facing the ocean, and a butler who introduces himself then disappears.
Lunch at the Clubhouse overlooks the beach. Grilled fish, mango salad, coconut rice. You eat slowly because there's nowhere to be. First swim in your pool. Late afternoon, drive around the island by club car. Sunset drinks at Kawayan Bar, a floating bamboo platform where you drink coconut cocktails with your feet in the lagoon. Dinner on the beach: grilled fish, crispy pork, mango sticky rice. You eat with your hands and talk about the wedding.
Overnight: Amanpulo
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 2
Water Sports morning & Leisurely afternoon w/ Couples spa treatment & Dinner at Nama
After breakfast, your guide takes you out to the reef by boat. The water is so clear you can see deep down to where sea turtles glide past parrotfish and coral in impossible colors. When you return to shore, try the water sports: paddleboarding, kayaking, Hobie cat sailing. Once you've worked up an appetite, head to the Beach Club for lunch. Expect fresh, grilled octopus, sea bass, maybe even a cold rosé. After lunch, make your way to the hilltop pavilions for your couples spa treatment. Hot stone massage with calamansi oil, herbal steam, cold plunge.
As evening approaches, board a traditional boat for a sunset cruise around nearby islets. When you return, dinner awaits at Nama with fresh sashimi, miso-glazed cod, wagyu beef, hand-pressed sushi. After dinner, walk down to the beach for stargazing. The Milky Way stretches across the entire sky.
Overnight: Amanpulo
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 3
Island adventure and Lagoon Evening
Breakfast at the Clubhouse starts your day before you set out cycling around the island at a leisurely pace. Here, discover hidden paths and bird species that call this place home. Once you're ready, head to the resort's PADI dive center for a scuba diving excursion to pristine reefs just ten minutes away, or continue snorkeling and kayaking if you prefer to stay closer to shore.
Lunch arrives as a picnic on a sandbar or at a secluded beach spot arranged just for you. After lunch, return to your villa for pool time and rest. If you’re up for it, enjoy tennis on the resort's court or a gentle yoga session before heading out for a sunset sail.
Dinner’s at the Lagoon Club, tucked away in a quiet corner of the island. The menu features microgreens from the island's organic farm, prepared by dedicated chefs who understand what this moment means. After dinner, finish the evening with cocktails at Kawayan Bar or a quiet night in your villa.
Overnight: Amanpulo
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 4
Wellness Day and Private Beach Evening
Start with a late breakfast in your villa or at the Clubhouse, no rush. Spend the morning lounging on your sun deck while reading or swimming. When you're ready, begin with a yoga or meditation session before heading to the spa for another couples treatment. Massage, body scrub, rituals designed specifically for the two of you. After a light lunch at the Lagoon Club or Clubhouse, enjoy more time at your private pool or beach. Take a walk along the shore or cycle familiar paths. Try stand-up paddleboarding or snorkel near the shoreline if the mood strikes.
As evening arrives, your private beachside BBQ dinner takes center stage. Choose from Filipino barbecue menus featuring heritage recipes or the celebrated lechon rooted in Philippine culinary tradition. A private chef prepares everything while you watch. After dinner, take a night swim or simply lie on the beach under the stars.
Overnight: Amanpulo
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 5
Departure
Wake up early for an optional sunrise walk along the beach to soak in the final moments of the island. Breakfast leisurely at the Clubhouse or in your villa. Pack at your own pace, fitting in a final swim or short visit to the spa.
When you're ready, your transfer brings you to the private flight back to Manila. The island stays behind, but the quiet follows you home.

The Antidote to the Wedding
Most honeymoons are just "vacations with a white dress in the suitcase." They are packed with logistics, crowds, and the performance of being happy. But after the months of noise it took to get here, you don’t need a performance, you need a sanctuary.
Amanpulo is one of the few places left on earth where "private" isn't a marketing buzzword; it is the law of the island. With only 42 villas spread across 89 acres, you are more likely to encounter a nesting sea turtle than another guest. This is the place where you finally stop being "The Happy Couple" for the cameras and start being you again.
The island operates on a different frequency. Time dissolves. You’ll forget which day of the week it is, and eventually, you’ll forget the stress of the world you left behind. All that remains is the heat of the sun, the salt on your skin, and the person sitting across from you.

-
Can you visit Pamalican Island without staying at Amanpulo?
No. Pamalican Island is a private island, and Amanpulo is the only resort on the island. Access is limited to registered guests with confirmed stays.

The best time to visit Pamalican Island is during the dry season from November to May. February to April often offers the calmest seas and clearest weather, ideal for snorkelling and boat excursions.
-
Can you walk around Pamalican Island?
Yes. Pamalican Island is small enough to explore on foot or by bicycle. Most guests also use the resort’s club cars to move comfortably around the island.
-
Is snorkelling good around Pamalican Island?

-
Do guests get a golf buggy or club car?
Yes. Each casita typically comes with a personal club car, and villas usually include dedicated vehicles, so you can explore the island at your own pace.
-
Is Manila worth visiting before a honeymoon at Amanpulo?
Yes, for the right couple and the right timing. Manila can be a smart one-night stop for a smooth buffer before the island, plus a chance for great dining, heritage sights, and a relaxed start to your honeymoon. If you prefer to arrive and disconnect immediately, we can keep Manila purely as an overnight transit.
-
How many nights in Manila do you recommend before Pamalican Island?
Most couples choose 1 night in Manila before Amanpulo for a stress-free connection and to avoid risk from late international arrivals. Choose 2 nights if you want a more leisurely start with dining, a heritage visit, and time to reset from jet lag.
-
Which part of Manila is best to stay in before flying to Amanpulo?
For convenience, many travellers stay in Makati or Bonifacio Global City (BGC) for easy logistics, strong hotel options, and excellent restaurants. If you want to be closest to the airport, an airport-area hotel can work well for a short overnight buffer.
-
Can we go straight from the airport to the Amanpulo flight?
Sometimes, yes, if your international arrival and the Amanpulo flight schedule align and you have comfortable buffer time. In many cases, a one-night Manila stop is the safest option for a stress-free honeymoon start, especially if your long-haul flight arrives late or is at risk of delays.
-

Yes. Revigorate has an office in Manila and can plan a seamless stopover around your flight timings. We work with your budget to create a tailor-made itinerary, including the right hotel, private transfers, dining reservations, and a simple, low-effort city plan before your island flight.
