Philippine’s Palawan Island and Amanpulo

Philippine’s Palawan claimed top spot based on over 76,000 votes in Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards for 2014 and ranked as #1, The Most Beautiful Island in the World in 2015. Philippine’s Palawan Island was also once named as the best islands in the world by National Geographic Traveler. Let me explain why so many travellers voted the little Philippines outcrop of Palawan as the most exotic island on Earth!

Palawan is a slice of heaven, an island that boasts crystal clear water, incredible beaches. Palawan Island is also UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a silver of an island that teems with exotic wildlife, quaint fishing villages and home to some of the best locations for snorkeling and diving.

Luckily, getting Philippine’s Palawan Island is not too difficult by air. Due to increasing access to Amanpulo, Phillippine Airlines has now launched direct flights between London and Manila five times a week.

This quote explains how I felt when I first visited Amanpulo, which is situated in the north of the Philippiine province of Palawan. In order to explore different sides of the Philippines, Amanpulo offers a variety of activities that capture the beauty of this island.

Amanpulo ranked #1 The World’s Best Top Overseas Holiday Hotels by Conde Nast Traveller. Since Philippine is considered the perfect location for snorkeling and diving, Amanpulo offers exiting and fun activities for everyone.

I really liked Amanpulo’s scuba diving program, which was two-hour introduction program. I highly recommend to anyone who is willing to try. This program included a short safety briefing, a shallow-water session and one open water dive. I was able to see a variety of completely different fish, sharks, coral and much more. Including myself, it was the perfect program for beginners to enjoy their first dive in safety.

My second favorite was Amanpulo’s turtle hatching program. Every year from March until October, females come up to the beach at night to lay their eggs. To assist in protecting this endangered species, Amanpulo staff monitors the laying process. Whenever baby turtles are hatching, Amanpulo’s guests are invited to watch the release of the baby turtles into the sea (Kids love this too!)

Also the hotel provided snorkeling kits so I could swim and meet all those beautiful fish and giant turtles! (If you are lucky, you might even see a turtle swimming around the colorful coral reefs!)

Amanpulo is also a perfect location for family vacation. Amanpulo offers arts and crafts at the Kids Club and provides exciting activities for children as well, such as pizza making, herb planting, tree planting, and so much more.

Overall, Amanpulo was inarguably the most beautiful island resort. You must visit Amanpulo and Philippine’s Palawan Island if you have not been here or want to travel somewhere extraordinary beautiful.
