PB hotel design editorial

Pamalican Island in the Sulu Sea — a private atoll ringed by one of the Philippines' most intact coral reef systems — was chosen by Aman founder Adrian Zecha and architect Ed Tuttle in 1993 as the site for Amanpulo, a resort whose central design problem was how to place forty casitas within a protected forest without the buildings ever announcing their presence from the beach. Tuttle's solution was characteristically restrained: low-pitched hip roofs clad in grey shingle rise just above the treeline, the main pavilion complex sitting parallel to the sand in a serene rhythm of repeated gabled forms that mirrors the aeriel silhouette of the island itself. At dusk, the pool pavilion glows amber against the blue hour, its reflection dissolving into the mosaic-tiled water below. Inside the casitas, Tuttle's idiom draws on a vocabulary of Philippine craft traditions filtered through his Paris-trained sensibility — dark hardwood floors burnished to a deep reddish brown, vaulted teak ceilings with recessed amber cove lighting, rattan and cane chairs around inlaid mosaic side tables, and low platform beds framed in curved mahogany headboards. The dining pavilion's folding timber-framed glass panels retract entirely to merge interior and beach, a V-truss ceiling of woven bamboo overhead directing the eye straight out to the turquoise shallows. Every material choice reinforces the same argument: that the architecture should feel earned by its landscape rather than imposed upon it.

"Our stay at Amanpulo was truly spectacular. The property is breathtaking, but what made our experience unforgettable was the exceptional Aman hospitality. A very special thank you to Marc- front office supervisor, who from day one, with his genuine smile, kindness, integrity, and outstanding professionalism, made our entire stay feel effortless and smooth. We are also so grateful to Justin and Chef Ariez at the Lagoon Club, who made our lunches special every day; Cong and Bernard, whose kindness made our Clubhouse breakfasts such a pleasure; Rodrigo, who guided us through Filipino cuisine with warmth, knowledge, and a constant smile; and sweet Jaz, who made our Mediterranean dinner at the Beach Club so memorable. Amanpulo is our third Aman experience, following Amanyara and Amanjena. Each has been unique, but they all share that extraordinary Aman hospitality that keeps us wanting to return. Thank you, Amanpulo, for another unforgettable family memory. We look forward to collecting many more beautiful Aman experiences around the world. 🤍"

"I would HIGHLY recommend. We brought our kids (ages 4-17) and everyone had a blast. Great food options for everyone and the staff (especially Raymond and Kenneth) were amazing and so attentive to the kids. While it’s hard to get to - it’s worth it! One of the best Aman experiences we’ve had!"

"Had a villa right on the beach , so private and with our own pool and buggy it was a wonderful experience. Extremely comfortable accommodation with plenty of lounging space . The beach is stunning pure white talcum sand with amazing views to their sister island. Food was very good in the three restaurants , the Japanese one being exceptional. Forgot to say the lounge at the airport and roomy private plane are a wonderful touch . Very happy to return!"
