Amanpulo, (peaceful island) is set on a private island all its own. Pamalican is part of the Quiniluban group, which makes up the northern half of the Cuyo Islands. It's one of nearly 1,800 islands in Palawan, the largest province in the Philippines. A low-lying coralline island, Pamalican is covered with a sandy jungle of thickets and bush and rimmed by seven square kilometers of pristine reef. At its widest point, the 5.5-kilometer tropical island is only 500 meters across.
