Resort Description

Portulano Dive Resort is a boutique scuba diving resort in Bauan, on the quieter side of the Philippines.

Portulan Dive Resort puts you at the heart of the coral triangle, where you can experience the richest marine biodiversity and the most colorful reefs in the world. At just a two hour drive from Manila International Airport, it's a convenient place to get to for easy access to the wonderful diving and snorkeling sites of the region.

All rooms are directly in front of the sea, giving you a bedside view of the ocean. The entire front of the room is made up of glass doors which can be fully opened, so you can enjoy the breathtaking views and sunsets from the privacy of your own terrace. There's nothing like waking up to the gentle sound of the waves.  

How to get there

Arrival 

  • Fly to Manila International Airport. 
  • The resort will arrange to pick you up and bring you via car or van to the boat pick-up point (advance notice is required). This journey will take up to three hours and from there you'll take a boat to the resort's private jetty. 
  • The boat transfers depart between 10 am and 5 pm, so if your flight lands after 12 pm noon, it is better that you stay in Manila for one night and depart the following morning.  
  • Check in time is 12:30 pm. 

Departure

  • Check out time is 12 pm. 
  • The resort will arrange your transfer back to the airport following check out (advance notice is required).
