There’s no shortage of resorts
in Anilao, but here are five
we especially recommend
AiyanarBeach&DiveResort
Aiyanar epitomises the new
generation of stylish resorts that
make staying ashore just as
pleasurable as going on a dive.
Sitio Looc, Brgy. Bagalangit,
Mabini, Batangas. Tel: +63 917

BambuVilla Resort
With spacious grounds, a pool
and in-house spa, you’d hardly
think this was a dive resort.
Thankfully, the capable Fun
Dive Asia group is headquartered
on site to make that clear.

Lilom
Not a dive resort per se but a
“
dive-friendly” resort, Lilom is a
boutique pad with style to spare.
Planet Dive
A friendly resort popular among
dive groups, head here if you’re
in a group, or looking to join one.

Clockwise from
top left: Anilao’s
reefs have
both hard and
soft coral; the
recommended
diving season is
October through
May, when the
sun is generally
out and the waters
are clear; many
resorts like Lilom
are designed with
lounging decks
that look out to
sea; (inset) find
