About Aiyanar Beach & Dive Resort
Fascinating critters, sweeping sea views and good company-welcome to Aiyanar Beach & Dive Resort. Set on the Anilao coastline, this stylish retreat combines rewarding macro diving with comfortable rooms and inviting spaces to unwind. It's a top choice for friends and small dive groups looking to explore together.
Getting here is straightforward. Fly into Manila and continue by road, with no domestic flight or island ferry required. You save the additional airfare and avoid another flight check-in with your dive bags, making Anilao an appealing option for a standalone holiday or part of a longer Philippines adventure.
Underwater, Anilao rewards those who take their time and look closely. Search sandy slopes and colourful reefs for nudibranchs, frogfish and other fascinating small marine life with the dive team. Photographers have a dedicated camera room for preparing equipment between dives, while the variety of sites gives everyone plenty to discover. There is even an in house photo pro, Dennis Corpuz, to help you capture those picture perfect moments.
Anilao has a huge reputation for the incredible and other worldly blackwater diving. Be sure to try at least one during your stay and prepare to see the underwater world as you have never encountered it - it's like diving in space!
Back ashore, choose from 24 rooms across three categories. Deluxe rooms, renovated in 2025, offer sea views and private balconies. Spacious Suites provide extra comfort, while hillside Casitas are set back from the seafront and feature two queen-size beds and a shared balcony. Let us know your preferred sleeping arrangements when booking.
The sea-facing infinity pool is an inviting place to cool off or settle onto a lounger after diving. Spend a leisurely afternoon enjoying the view, or catch up with your travel companions before dinner. Meals bring everyone together in the open-air clubhouse, where freshly prepared Filipino and international dishes are served with coastal views and a cooling breeze. Share your favourite sightings over a post-dive drink, plan tomorrow's adventures and enjoy the relaxed rhythm of an Anilao diving holiday.
Diving at Aiyanar Beach & Dive Resort
Aiyanar is fast becoming a must dive destination in the Philippines, especially for underwater photographers. The sheer range of exceptional and rare macro life below the waves is outstanding. But there is more to see than just critters in Anilao. Glorious coral reefs, sandy slopes and even caves all await.
The dive team at Aiyanar resort have been hand picked to include some of the area's most knowledgeable and experienced dive guides. Many divers here are already certified but there are a range of PADI courses that can be taught on site. The resident photo pro is on hand to support photographers of all levels. Please ask about the complimentary services that can be added to your dive package.
PADI courses OW - Rescue & nitrox
Shore or boat diving options
Up to 3 boats departing each day
Dedicated camera room
Most of the marine life around Anilao falls into the macro category. And what macro there is! The nudibranch come in every shape, colour and size., but common place are rhinopia, hairy frogfish, wonderpus and blue ringed octopus. Indeed, many of the special species you might expect in a location like Lembeh can be seen here! But there are also big schools of jacks and at Manit point the currents pick up. Here reef sharks can be seen in the blue. And if you are especially lucky, a whaleshark will cruise past on the deep water currents. No 2 dives are ever the same!
