👉 Quiniluban in the context of Pamalican

Pamalican Island, also spelled as Pamalikan, is a small and sandy island of the Cuyo Islands in the Sulu Sea, between Palawan and Panay, in the north part of the Palawan Province of the Philippines. The island is set in the middle of a 7-square-kilometre (2.7 sq mi) coral reef. It has a length of 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi), and measures only 500 metres (1,600 ft) at its widest point. Pamalican can be found 7 miles southwest of Quiniluban island and 3 miles northeast of Manamoc island.

The island was originally exploited as a struggling family-owned plantation. It was then purchased by Andrés Soriano Jr., a businessman. His children decided to build a resort on the island and leased the management responsibility to establish an exclusive resort. The island is private property and belongs in totality to Seven Seas Resorts and Leisure, Inc. (owned by the Sorianos). It is part of the high-end resort group, Aman Resorts, under the name Amanpulo. About 40% of the employees are from the neighbouring Manamoc island.
