Pamalican Island Travel Guide

Pamalican is a small island in the Cuyo archipelago, close to the main island of Palawan. The island is scenically set in the middle of a seven square-kilometer coral reef and home to an exclusive resort.

The resort is the main attraction for visitors as there is not much else to do on Pamalican. It sees visitors from all over the world; however, it is not cheap so you will need to save your pennies before arrival. The white sandy beaches are surrounded by clear warm water and the serenity will ensure that you have one of the most relaxing holidays possible.

With the exception of the beaches, there is not much to see. The resort has a choice of restaurants and bars as well as a spa, pool, entertainment and children’s facilities. Diving and snorkeling are the most popular daytime activities and the only water sports available.

If you enjoy nature, you may like to hike through the pristine forests found inland. You can hire a guide from the resort, or if you are adventurous you can try to make our own way through the undergrowth.
