Whatever adventure you chose, end the afternoon at the "Point Bar" and prepare to experience the evening; enjoy the best cocktails in the World; and, listen to some soothing sounds. El Galleon beach resort hotels' cottages on Small La laguna Beach afford the peace and tranquillity of private rooms, nestled amongst palm trees, with the crystal clear waters of the Philippine Sea only a stone throw away.
All of our rooms are facing the sea and are divided between two buildings. One is in front of the diving area and one just above the pool. Rooms feature showers with hot and cold running water — a luxury new to Anilao! The room doors are glass windows that provide a beautiful view of the ocean.
Indulge in daily buffet meals carefully prepared by the chef. Should you crave something beyond the buffet offering, an à la carte menu is available with special requests depending on availability.
Diving is easy here at the Bahura Resort and Spa. A few steps from the beach will lead you to our own house reef. Sea grasses give way to coral bommies filled with crinoids and ornamental fish. A sloping reef of hard corals down to about 23 meters give way to a sandy area filled with soft corals.
Offering massage and other body treatments to vacationing divers or their non-diving companions, the spa complements the other activities available at the property. These include kayaking, pedal boats, banana boats, hobie cats, snorkeling tours, dolphin watching ,atv rides, caving and rappelling, marketday shopping.
We are justly proud of our resort, 2 hotel buildings and 8 villas are located on a well kept 5 hectare beachside coconut plantation. It is easily reachable by a short flight to Dumaguete from Manila or by van and ferry by Cebu City. Come see for yourself why Bahura is now the destination of choice for divers and their families.
More than just a beautiful resort, Amarela showcases local art and culture in meticulous detail. It highlights antique and traditional furniture, artifacts and handicrafts, old hardwood doors and floors, as well as an outstanding collection of sculpture and paintings.
