One of the most endearing feature of each Villa is an outdoor “plunge pool,” with its own sun deck and lounge chairs, ideal for those intimate moments or just to enjoy a cold dip after a hot day of touring or enjoying the beach.

Each villa has a king-size bed, where a couple and small child can comfortably fit, a day bed for another family member or guest, plus all the usual resort accoutrements – and more. The “extras” include a wide-screen LCD TV, iPod docking station and a set of toiletries from the French company L’Occitane.

The latter complements the remarkably designed toilet and bath, which are located outdoors, artfully concealed from the outside world yet fully in-touch with the elements. It’s a novel way of going about one’s private business, but refreshing nevertheless – rarely has the term “rest room” seemed this appropriate.

As their names imply, the Garden Villas, which are located “inland,” away from the cliff edge, have their own private garden with flowering plants and tropical foliage, while the Ocean View Villas are perched near the edge of the cliff, giving the guest what is surely the most impressive amenity in the resort – a splendid view of the Bohol Sea and the craggy outlines of islands far off on the horizon.

It’s a scene rivaled only by the view from Amorita’s signature facility, the curving infinity pool located at the very edge of the cliff, where the unobstructed vista of azure water, white sand, verdant mountains and colorful boats all come together in a breathtaking panorama.

Adjacent to the pool is the resort’s Saffron Restaurant, named after the glorious color of the sunset, best viewed while lounging in the restaurant. Saffron boasts of innovative breads and desserts that highlight the amazing medley of flavors of Bohol products and ingredients. One must try their light-as-air Ube Mousse, Peanut Kiss Sans Rival and Turon de Bohol.

Private, air-conditioned function rooms are available for small, private meetings and break-out sessions. For larger gatherings, there’s a ballroom that can accommodate up to 150 guests.

Off to the side of the resort’s main building is a dive shop and the diving pool, where aspiring scuba divers are trained before they venture off to Bohol’s world-famous dive spots, including the Alona Beach house reef just steps away from Amorita.

For guests who want to enjoy KTV facilities while they enjoy their after-dinner drinks, a private air-conditioned room is available.

Rounding off the facilities is the forthcoming wellness spa operated by the internationally known Mandala Spa brand, which, along with 40 luxurious suites, will banner Phase 2 of Amorita’s expansion, both much-anticipated additions to the resort’s myriad guest offerings.

Finally, recognizing that the physical infrastructure is only as good as the human factor, and to this end, the resort management continuously invests in staff training and human-resource development. A key focus of these efforts is the further enhancement of the efficiency of the staff to complement their natural warmth and hospitality.

All of these thrusts are succeeding for Amorita, as evidenced by strong repeat bookings, robust word-of-mouth endorsements and glowing reviews circulating through the blogosphere.

Indeed, Amorita offers the total vacation package: unrivaled location, fabulous views, stylish amenities, striking design, and heartfelt, warm hospitality. It is a resort where life is beautiful.
