Anilao Awari Bay Resort  

On a private stretch of Balayan Bay in Mabini, Batangas, this beachfront diving resort is about a 2–3 hour drive south of Manila and roughly 4 km from the town center. It sits steps from the famous Matu Point dive site, so divers and beach lovers are in the right place.

Chill, coastal vibes and peaceful seaside views. Rooms include new deluxe units with flat-screen TVs, whisper-quiet air-con, private bathrooms and some with balconies or terraces. Family-friendly facilities and loungers facing the bay make it easy to unwind and wake up to sea‑breeze mornings.

Swim in an infinity pool, dive pool or kiddie pool, then hit the poolside bar. Watersports include guided diving with professional crews, snorkeling, kayaking, island hopping and beach volleyball. Find on-site massages, a lounge outdoors, concierge service, laundry and free parking; transfers can be arranged.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. Concierge and transport‑booking services help with logistics, and safety deposit boxes are available.

On-site restaurant and eateries serve local cuisine and accessible meal choices, with a coffee shop for freshly brewed cups. Daily breakfast is provided and a bar plus poolside bar make evenings easy.
