Amarela

Top choice in Panglao Island


This classy beach getaway is run on environmentally sound principles. It's so boutique it has its own art gallery and library. Rooms with polished floorboards get plenty of sun, and most have balconies. Hammocks and deckchairs await at its lovely private beach, or relax in the superb pool surrounded by lush gardens. It's 5.5km east of Alona Beach.

Environmentally kind initiatives include water recycling and composting, and the restaurant offers a lot of organic dishes.
