Anilao, Philippines dive holidays

Solitude Acacia Resort

Solitude Acacia Resort is located on the serene coast of Mabini in Anilao, Batangas, and offers a contemporary boutique-suite experience, built around a century-old acacia tree.

The resort features 25 modern, air-conditioned rooms, which benefit from tranquil garden or poolside views, or panoramic sea view views of the Verde Island Passage. Solitude Acacia Resort’s dive centre is onsite and maintains a 2:1 diver-to-guide ratio. The resort supports underwater photographers with a spacious camera room and regular workshops focusing on macro and wide-angle techniques.

Guests can explore over 40 dive sites in Anilao, known globally for its muck diving and rich macro life—from nudibranchs and pygmy seahorses to mimic octopus.

Beyond diving, the resort offers sophisticated dining in The Acacia Restaurant, an atrium-like, glass‑walled venue serving à la carte Filipino and international dishes. A cosy Dive Bar overlooks the sea and pool, while additional amenities include a beachfront pool, laundry and babysitting services, and organised tours.

Solitude Acacia Resort is a peaceful, modern paradise just a 3-hour drive from Manila, with access to some of the best macro and critter diving in the Philippines.
