Puerto Galera is one of the oldest Spanish settlements within the Philippines. As early as the 10th Century, Malaysians, Chinese and Indonesian merchants were already doing business with local traders. Puerto Galera is where they replenished their provisions and was also known as the Port of Galleons. The harbour was an excellent location for the Spanish Galleons to refuge from heavy storms and typhoons.
These days, you’ll find paradise. Puerto Galera is blessed with one of the world’s most beautiful natural harbours. Now known as the “Pearl of Mindoro”, it is world-famous for splendid beaches, coral reefs, and exquisite dive sites for new and experienced divers alike – all in a relaxed, laid-back beach atmosphere.
Puerto Galera is located on the northern peninsula of the island of Mindoro, 130km south of Manila (2.5-hour drive) and about 14 nautical miles from Batangas city (1-hour boat ride). Behind the irregular coastline with its clear water and wide sand beaches are the vast and mostly unexplored mountain ranges of central Mindoro. The terrain is rugged with sometimes dense jungle. Indigenous tribes still live scattered over the mountainsides.
Puerto Galera is a popular destination for its beautiful bays and natural harbour offering a safe anchorage, a selection of 32 beaches to visit and for its delightful scenery. Sabang Beach, including Big Lalaguna and Small Lalaguna Beach, is the main resort area for foreign tourists. At the same time, White Beach is popular amongst local (Filipino) tourists and has seen a significant development boom in recent years. Both have numerous restaurants and bars along the beachfront and an active nightlife.
The Batangas/Puerto Galera area forms the centre of the golden triangle – The Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia – renowned for their coral and fish species.
Beautifully built into the hills of Sabang Beach, Atlantis Dive Resort is quoted in many travel guidebooks and magazines as one of the most outstanding resorts of the Philippines with its award winning design. Walking into Atlantis Puerto Galera feels like discovering a treehouse oasis. Paths to each group of rooms are lushly landscaped, quiet, and offer views of trees, the pool and the sea.
Atlantis’ forty guest rooms and suites are elegantly designed to give you maximum comfort, privacy and relaxation throughout your stay. The resort features a full-service spa, so be sure you relax in luxury. Combine this with Toko’s restaurant and the 50 beachfront Bar , your perfect dive holiday starts here.
Atlantis dive centre makes the perfect base from which to explore thirty or more dive sites within ten minutes travel time. Puerto Galera is well known for its numerous scuba diving spots. The area g as designated a Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in 1973 and has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia located at the very heart of the ‘Coral Triangle’. Unlimited diving ( with up to 5 scheduled boat dives a day – four day-dives and a night dive) is available.
A true highlight is a day trip to Verde Island. Experience a 330 foot pinnacle arising from the ocean floor with some of the more spectacular diving in the Philippines. The Verde Island passage is renowned as the “center of the center of bio-diversity” in the coral triangle and Verde Island sits smack in the middle where two currents meet creating not only great visibility but stunning populations and diversity of fish life.
