Description

Amara is a premier master-planned community nestled by the sea and undulating hills, accentuated by the eternal warmth of a century-old lighthouse. One of only 24 lighthouse communities in the world, Amara provides the ideal resort-inspired residential enclave where residents can nurture relationships with family, neighbors, and friends.

Amara is located in Barangay Carmen, Liloan, Cebu, approximately three kilometers southeast of the Liloan municipal town proper and around 18 km north of Cebu City.

Amara is a 20-minute drive away from Cebu's city proper through the newly opened Cansaga bridge. From Cebu City, Amara can also be accessed through the northern coastal highway. From the highway, travel to the site is possible from two points, namely;

From the Crossing at Barangay Yati, Liloan that proceeds to the southeast towards Tayud and then turning northeast towards Barangay Catarman

From Liloan proper near Liloan Catholic Church, passing through a cemented road that traverses southeast towards Barangay Catarman

Key Fact

English is an official language and widely spoken — making the Philippines the easiest Asian country for American expats to navigate daily life. Private healthcare is excellent and affordable, but infrastructure outside Manila can be underdeveloped.

Next steps for moving to Philippines

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
