Portulano Resort is a boutique scuba diving resort located in Bauan, the more quiet, private side of Anilao, Balayan Bay, Batangas, the Philippines. We are at the heart of the world’s coral triangle, where you can experience the richest marine biodiversity and the most colorful reefs in the world. A 2 hour drive from Manila International Airport brings you to the resort where you have easy access to popular diving and snorkeling sites.

Portulano in Italian and Spanish mean Portolan. Medieval maps used for navigation but also considered and created as works of art.

The resort is something like that, it combines character, design, art and functionality.

Established in 2003 and officially launched in 2005, the resort is like the owner’s masterpiece, a canvas and a continuing expression found in every detail and design.

You can also say that Portulano, just like these old navigational tools is a place where you can find your bearings.
