Palawan is no stranger to anyone who thirsts for adventure and scenic beauty. With the cliffs valleying over turquoise waters where you can still see the white sand below and a plethora of other magnetic spots, this is one of the most popular islands in our archipelagic country that has 7,106 more.

Isla Amara perfectly captures the vibe it describes itself through a combination of Filipino elements with the materials used to decorate the place with, using them strategically to give the place a minimalist concept that is very pleasing to the eyes. It has 42 guest rooms with different sizes, and you can choose the type of room that is specifically tailored to your liking.
