Mabini is a 1st class municipality in the Province of Batangas, Philippines. It is located on the Calumpang Peninisula between Batangas Bay to the east and Balayan Bay to the west. It is named after Apolinario Mabini, a Filipino revolutionary hero.
Anilao is popular with budget divers and snorkelers. There are several diving centers where trips can be arranged to diving spots in Balayan Bay near Cape Bagalangit and near Sombrero and Maricaban Islands.
Although the beach at Anilao is not recommended for swimming, thatched bamboo rafts can be rented with tables and benches at the Anilao Beach Resort and other resorts.
BISA BAYSIDE
VISTAMAR Beach Resort and Hotel Vistamar is a 2 hectare resort complex situated in Anilao, Mabini Batangas. It is the biggest resort facility in the area and can accommodate up to 3,000 guests. It offers a wide range of services and facilities aimed at providing guests with a quality service and convenience.
Carfel-Vistamar Incorporated traces its beginnings in 1981 when Carfel Seaventure Phils. was established. It started as a sister company of Carfel Shell Export which was then among the top shell exporters of seashells and handicrafts in Asia, supplying shell shops and shell collectors worldwide with specimen shells as well as rare collectibles. Carfel Seaventure Phils. was one of the country’s pioneer dive companies that offered dive tours, SCUBA instruction, equipment sales and rentals. In 1991, the company ventured into the resort industry and established Vistamar Beach Resort & Hotel in Anilao, Batangas, Philippines. Strategically nestled between sea and lush mountain, its modern 4-building hotel has 96 rooms that provide comfortable rest and leisure for up to 500 hotel guests. The sprawling 3 hectare resort can hold up to 3,000 day trip guests at any one time, making it the biggest picnic destination in the area. The beauty that this place is known for lies not above the water, but underwater. When you visit this place for the first time and plan to go swimming, at least bring a dive mask or rent one. You would be glad you did. It would also be important to note that this place called Anilao, which has been known to be a worldclass dive destination, is actually just a barangay of Mabini town of Batangas. The dives sites and resorts are actually scattered all over the several barangays of Mabini (Solo, Bagalangit, San Tedoro,etc) and across to the island of Maricaban. Anilao is the name that caught up in the diving community because, years ago, Anilao was the only jump-off point to the dive sites.
One of the very few beach like along Mabini. This place is not that impressive so I won’t recommend it unless you have a really tight budget and do not intend to stay overnight nor rent rooms. Though, It's still nice to just sit, relax, sip a cup of coffee and watch the sunset.
