Ever thought what your honeymoon will be like? Are you hoping that you will get to spend time alone together, really alone together? Are you hoping to find an island that is beautiful, exclusive and not over crowded with holiday makers? Do you want all the amenities of home in a rustic setting? Then Amanpulo may be the perfect place for you.
Amanpulo is a great place to have a honeymoon. It is located on its own private island called Pamalican, Philippines. It is a mere 1 hour flight out from the country’s capital. In fact, all visitors are flown in directly by a private jet. How’s that for elegance and style.
The island is an absolute haven of beauty. It has gorgeous white sands, crystal clear waters and well preserved coral reefs. You can enjoy just lazing on the beach and getting a tan together. Swim in the clear waters of the cove. Since the island is exclusive it is a quiet place to be and you can pretend that there truly is no one but the two of you, most of the time.
If you prefer to enjoy some water sports, that is definitely available. With the beautiful reefs just off its shores, you’ll have a lot to explore. You can try your hand at sailing a hobiecat or windsurf. Why not go rowing? Gentlemen, flex your muscles for your wife; feel free to impress her. If you like, you can go fishing and see if you are a lucky fisherman.
The owners of Amanpulo have tried to keep the natural beauty of the island intact. Yeu can enjoy eco walks with guides to show you the way around and enjoy the lushness of life on the island. Have a picnic or two and just enjoy being together with good food.
Feeling a need to get some exercise in? How about some tennis? The resort has a professional instructor available if you’d like to improve your game. If you prefer, you can take a bicycle and explore the island some more. If you just want to stretch, on the other hand, you can attend yoga classes instead.
After you give your body a workout, there is nothing like having a massage. You can have an open air massage or you can have a special session of aromatherapy scheduled. You can pamper yourselves with a facial, manicure and pedicure to enhance your beauty even more. This is definitely a treat that the ladies will love.
Don’t think for a moment though that you have lost touch with civilization. While the casitas design is based on the native nipa hut, the interiors are pure luxury. Half of each room is occupied by the marble bathrooms. No such thing as a quick shower here. The rooms have satellite TV and CD players to keep you apace of your favorite programs.
If you are feeling sociable, there is a club house. The restaurant is also located here and you can enjoy the flavors of Asia and some continental cuisine courtesy of the excellent kitchen staff the resort hires. If you’d rather have more time alone, simply order room service so that you have more privacy. Better yet, why not make arrangements to dine on the beach. There is nothing like it.
