Good to Know
Amanpulo
- Access is exclusively via Aman's own charter flight from Manila (around 75 minutes) — there is no commercial or private alternative to the island.
- The island has no cars; guests and staff move around exclusively by golf buggy.
- Book well ahead for stays around Philippine national holidays, when the limited charter seats sell out fastest.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora
- The resort is closed for a phased renovation through the property's stated 2026 timeline, reopening with a smaller, higher-spec villa count — check status before booking.
- Nearest airport is Bora Bora (BOB); the resort transfer is by private boat across the lagoon.
- Whale-watching season (August–November) is a genuine reason to time a trip around, not just a marketing line.
