How Much Does Amanpulo Cost? 2026 Casita & Villa Rates, Flights and Extras
Aman's private Philippine island, priced honestly: what a casita and a villa cost, what the Manila flight adds, which months drop the rate, and what a real five-night stay adds up to.
By Biirdee Travel — Luxury Travel Concierge · Updated September 4, 2026
The Headline Numbers
As of September 2026, Amanpulo costs roughly $1,500 per night for an entry casita, rising to around $2,000 by season and position, with the one- to four-bedroom villas running from about $4,000 to $7,000+ per night and the festive weeks pricing at the top of every band. Then add the one line no other Aman carries: the resort has the whole of Pamalican Island to itself, and the only practical way in is Aman's own aircraft from Manila — a separate per-person charge of a few hundred dollars each way, quoted at booking and bookable only through the resort. Aman publishes no rate card and discounts nothing, so treat every figure on this page as a planning band drawn from published rates and our booking desk, not a quote.
What the money buys is an entire private island in the Cuyo archipelago between Palawan and Panay — five kilometres of white sand, a house reef that begins 300 meters offshore, one runway, one resort, and a buggy for every guest. For the property itself see our Amanpulo guide; for how the island prices against the rest of the brand, Aman resort prices; and for why it is the benchmark of its genre, the best private island resorts.
Key Takeaways
- Amanpulo nightly rates: casitas ~$1,500, rising to ~$2,000 by season and position; villas from ~$4,000 to ~$7,000+ for one to four bedrooms. The festive weeks price highest.
- The Manila flight is separate: Aman's own aircraft, charged per person each way — a few hundred dollars per person, quoted at booking. Budget it as a fixed line, not an optional extra; no commercial carrier serves the island.
- Hillside casitas are the usual entry point, treetop casitas are the value-with-view play and beach casitas carry the premium — every casita gets the same Aman finish, buggy and reef.
- Season is the biggest lever: November–May is prime and December–February the absolute peak, booked many months out; June–October brings meaningfully softer rates with warmer seas and typhoon-season squalls.
- Most meals, alcohol, spa, diving and boat days are extra for casita guests; villa rates include a private chef, which changes the food math for families and groups.
- Nobody sells Amanpulo for less than Aman does. The levers are timing, category discipline and multi-night offers where live.

Approximate nightly bands as of September 2026, for two guests, before the per-person Manila flight. Aman prices dynamically by date and category — use these to plan, then get a quote for your dates and confirm at booking.
| Category | Approximate nightly rate | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Hillside Casita | ~$1,500 in low season — the usual entry point | A freestanding casita on the forested slope, modeled on the Filipino bahay kubo, with a wide outlook and a short buggy ride down to the sand |
| Treetop Casita | Above the hillside entry; quoted by date | Raised into the canopy with sea views over the trees — the value-with-view play |
| Beach Casita | Carries the premium — plan on ~$2,000 in season and confirm at booking | Steps from the beach, with the house reef a few hundred metres out; the category most guests upgrade for and the first to sell out |
| One-bedroom villa | From ~$4,000 | Private pool, butler and private chef — the entry to the villa estate |
| Two- to four-bedroom villas | Above the one-bedroom, to ~$7,000+ by size and season | Estate-scale houses with pool, butler and chef; the island's multi-generational and celebration traffic lives here |
Amanpulo Prices by Season
Same casita, different month. Rate positions are relative to the annual band; exact numbers shift year to year — confirm before planning around them.
| Period | Rate position | What the island is doing |
|---|---|---|
| November | Rising — the shoulder into prime | The dry season opens and the wet-season swell drops away; the northeast monsoon — the amihan — sets in through the month and brings the kitesurfing wind to the east beach |
| December–February | Peak — the top of the band | Dry, bright and booked many months ahead; the amihan holds a steady breeze on the east side, and the Christmas–New Year fortnight prices highest of all |
| March–May | Prime, below the festive peak | Still full dry-season conditions with the festive premium gone — the sweet spot for value inside the good months |
| June–October | Floor of the band — meaningfully softer | Warmer seas, a greener island, and the southwest monsoon — typhoon season, mostly afternoon squalls this far south, though island flights do get weathered out; the same casitas at the year's lowest rates |
How to Get to Amanpulo from Manila
For all practical purposes there is one way in: Aman's own aircraft, departing from the resort's private lounge at Manila's domestic airport and landing about 75 minutes later on Pamalican's own airstrip, which is, in effect, the arrivals hall. The flights run on fixed daily schedules, weather permitting, and are bookable only through the resort — you cannot buy a seat separately, and no commercial carrier serves the island. The transfer is charged per person each way — a few hundred dollars per person — and the figure is quoted alongside your room rate at booking. For two guests it is a four-figure line on the bill, and the one number worth pinning down before you budget the rest.
The practical consequence is that Amanpulo is a two-flight trip from anywhere. Manila is served nonstop from the US West Coast, from the Gulf hubs and from most major Asian gateways — Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul are the usual connecting points for long-haul arrivals. Because the island flights leave on a schedule the international arrival has to meet, we build in a buffer: for most itineraries that means a night in Manila before the island. Our Peninsula Manila guide covers the obvious overnight, roughly 30 to 45 minutes from the airport depending on Manila traffic. Biirdee coordinates the international flights into Manila to meet the island flights.
What the Amanpulo Rate Includes — and What Costs Extra
Casita rates are close to room-only, with breakfast included on some rate plans and not on others: the casita, your buggy (the island's only traffic), the beaches, the house reef that starts a few hundred metres off the sand, the pools, and use of the hilltop Aman Spa's facilities — with non-motorised water sports typically included; confirm the inclusion list with your quote. Booked through a preferred-partner channel, the stay also carries a property credit (commonly $100 or more), upgrade priority and breakfast on channels where it is not already included, all at the identical rate; the mechanics are in how to book Aman hotels. Ask how tax is presented before you compare quotes: Philippine VAT and a service charge apply, and whether they sit inside the rate or on top of it varies by rate plan.
Everything else is extra, and it adds up faster than at a city Aman because the island is captive: meals beyond whatever breakfast your rate plan carries (the island is the only place to eat, so every meal is a resort meal), alcohol, spa treatments, diving with the marine team (from PADI courses to night dives, priced per dive), boat excursions by banca to the dive sites, and private beach barbecues set out on the sandbar. Villa guests have a private chef in the rate, which removes the largest daily variable — food and wine are billed as consumed, the cooking is not; confirm the villa dining terms at booking.
A Real Five-Night Amanpulo Budget
Illustrative totals for two guests, five nights, before international flights, before the island flight (quoted per person at booking), and before Philippine VAT and service charge, which your quote will confirm either way. Rates are approximate 2026 bands.
| Line item | July, Hillside Casita | March, Beach Casita | Festive week, one-bedroom villa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room, 5 nights | ~$7,500–8,500 | ~$10,000–11,000 | Quoted by date — festive villa nights sit at the top of the band, so plan on ~$25,000 and up for five nights and treat that as a floor |
| Manila flights, two guests round trip | A few hundred dollars per person each way, quoted at booking | A few hundred dollars per person each way, quoted at booking | A few hundred dollars per person each way, quoted at booking |
| Meals and drinks | ~$2,000–3,500 | ~$2,000–3,500 | Chef included; provisions and wine ~$1,000–2,000 |
| Reef, diving and boat days | ~$500–1,500 | ~$500–1,500 | ~$500–1,500 |
| Spa (one treatment each) | ~$500–900 | ~$500–900 | ~$500–900 |
| Approximate total, before the island flight | ~$10,500–14,500 | ~$13,000–17,000 | ~$27,000+ |
Amanpulo Packages and Offers
Searchers ask for "Amanpulo packages", and the honest answer is that Aman does not sell packages in the resort-bundle sense — no all-inclusive plans, no discounted flight-plus-room deals (the island flight is always booked with the room, but it is a charge, not a bundle), and no discounts through any channel. What exists instead are Aman's periodic official offers: stay-longer constructions such as a complimentary night, seasonal programmes with dining or spa credits, and honeymoon and celebration arrangements built around a villa.
Our Aman discounts and offers guide explains what the brand does and does not do on price. The short version: the best "package" at Amanpulo is the right month.
How to Pay Less for Amanpulo
Start with the hard truth: no channel sells Amanpulo below Aman's own rate, and any site advertising a discounted Amanpulo casita is reselling something else. Four levers actually work. Date is the biggest — the same casita in June–October prices meaningfully below the December–February peak, and the March–May window keeps dry-season conditions without the festive premium. In those green-season months, build a spare night into the return so a weather-delayed island flight cannot cost you a long-haul connection. Category discipline matters: a treetop casita has the identical service, buggy and reef as a beach casita; the upgrade buys steps to the sand, not a better Aman. Multi-night offers appear periodically; an advisor will know which are live. And the channel: a preferred-partner booking attaches a property credit and upgrade priority at the same price.
Then widen the lens. Amanpulo is a long-haul trip for almost everyone, and the two international legs are where Biirdee's negotiated and unpublished business-class fares run up to 70% below retail — savings that routinely fund the extra night from the same budget. Our Aman Southeast Asia guide budgets the whole circuit, and the cheapest Aman resorts guide shows where the brand's floor sits if the island stretches the numbers. Quotes are free, with no booking fees — start with your dates.
Amanpulo Cost FAQs
How much does Amanpulo cost per night?
As of 2026, casitas start around $1,500 per night, rising to about $2,000 by season and position (beach casitas carry the premium), and the one- to four-bedroom villas run roughly $4,000–7,000+. Add the per-person Aman flight from Manila, and budget separately for meals and activities.
What are Amanpulo rates in the festive season?
The December–February peak — and the Christmas–New Year fortnight above all — sits at the top of every band and books out many months ahead, often with minimum-stay conditions. Beach casitas and villas go first, and festive rates are quoted by date rather than published as a single number. Plan on roughly six to twelve months out for December–February dates.
How do I get to Amanpulo from Manila?
Only via Aman's own aircraft from its private lounge at Manila's domestic airport — about 75 minutes to the island's airstrip, on fixed daily schedules, weather permitting, booked through the resort with your stay. International arrivals should build in a buffer; an overnight in Manila before the island flight is what we usually recommend.
How much is the flight to Amanpulo?
It is a separate per-person charge each way — a few hundred dollars per person, quoted at booking and payable only through the resort. For two guests the round trip is a four-figure line; confirm the exact figure with your quote.
Is Amanpulo all-inclusive?
No. Casita rates cover the casita, your buggy, the beaches, reef and pools, with breakfast on some rate plans; meals beyond that, alcohol, spa, diving and boat excursions are billed separately. Villa stays include a private chef.
When is Amanpulo cheapest?
June through October — warmer seas, typhoon-season squalls in the afternoons, and meaningfully softer rates on the same casitas. Inside the dry season, March–May keeps prime conditions without the December–February peak.
Does Amanpulo offer packages?
Not in the bundle-and-discount sense — Aman holds strict rate parity and sells no all-inclusive plans. What you will find are periodic official offers (stay-longer nights, seasonal dining or spa credits) and celebration arrangements built around a villa; an advisor can tell you which are live for your dates.
