Anilao Beach Club: A Weekend Well-Spent In Batangas
Our experience at Anilao Beach Club
We went to Anilao Beach Club for our annual summer outing. When we arrived at
the resort, we noticed that it was just a small property but it was beautiful
nonetheless. The cottages look cozy and airy, although they were
airconditioned.
 |
| Cottages |
Although the resort is small, it does not look cramped. There is enough space
to move around comfortably. There are even long tables outside so it's a great
area for bonding with friends at night. We even had a game of Pinoy Henyo here
as well as a few drinks.
 |
| The beach |
The summer sun was shining brightly when we stayed here, not that we were
expecting it to rain. But it just felt different, the sunshine that is, when
you are at the beach. The colors everywhere looked amplified, the water
glistening over the horizon, and the sky is at its bluest.
When we had settled our bags in our designated rooms, we quickly changed into
our swimming attire and swam on the beach. The resort offers simple, in fact,
basic amenities but we had a wonderful time here. We slept comfortably during
the night and we enjoyed our activities during the day.
What to do at Anilao Beach Club
You might be thinking that Anilao Beach Club might just be another boring
resort in Batangas. Well, it's not boring at all. In fact, there are a lot of
things that you can do here. Some of these are the following:
1. Beach bum
There's nothing more ideal than spending your day at the beach doing nothing.
Well, you can listen to the waves, feel the strong sea breeze, and wade in
seawater.
Anyway, why just wade when you can swim? Go ahead and indulge, the
water in Anila Beach Club is enticing.
2. Go island-hopping
Island hopping is one of our favorite things to do when we are in Batangas.
We inquired at the reception area if boat operators offer island-hopping and
we were lucky that it was. So we arranged for a tour of the nearby
beaches.
 |
| Island-hopping |
It was not really an island-hopping tour per se but the boatmen can take you
for a ride in the open waters for an hour or so, a quick dip included. You
can bring your own snorkeling gear or you can rent from the boat
operator.
3. Go for a dive
If you are an avid diver, you can arrange for a diving trip. After all,
Batangas is known as the home to some of the best dive sites in the country.
 |
| Diving |
The waters surrounding Batangas host a thriving habitat of colorful corals,
fishes, and other marine creatures.
4. Play beach volleyball
 |
| Beach volleyball |
Beach volleyball is available if you want a serious physical activity. You may
also opt to kayak near the shore to enjoy the view beyond the beach while
slowly paddling. Use of these facilities is free of charge if you are checked
in the resort.
5. Ride a kayak
The use of kayaks, life vests, and beach shoes is free. As such, you can
enjoy kayaking on the beach as much as you want.
 |
| Kayaks |
Don't venture too far out
into the sea though as there are no lifeguards on duty at all times.
Dining at Anilao Beach Club
Don't worry about your food at Anilao Beach Club because you can arrange to
have your meals prepared by the resort’s restaurant.
 |
| Sizzling and grilled seafood |
You can expect fresh
seafood and beef on the menu since both of these items are abundant in the
province of Batangas.
 |
| Bulalo |
We had Anilao Beach Club's grilled fresh catch, sizzling tuna belly, and
steaming bowls of bulalo. The food is hearty and delicious, so it's worth
buying it here than going outside. In fact, we did not see any nearby
restaurants except for small neighborhood stores selling halo-halo and basic
things.
How to go to Anilao Beach Club
Via Private Vehicle
If you are bringing a private vehicle, take the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX)
from Magallanes or Alabang, Muntinlupa then exit to Diversion Road in
Balagtas, Batangas.
Drive straight to Bolbok, Batangas, and make a right under Bolbok flyover,
proceeding to Bauan town. Drive all the way to Maghinao Bridge then make a
left going to the town of Mabini.
Drive all the way until you see the statue of Mabini (new tourism triangle),
then make a right going to Anilao.
Via Public Transportation
If you are taking public transportation, you may take any bus bound for
Batangas City Pier. You may alight at the Batangas Grand Terminal and then
take a jeepney going to Mabini in Anilao.
Ask the driver to drop you off at the Anilao Public Market. From there, you
may take a tricycle going to the Anilao Beach Club.
Epilogue
We just stayed overnight at Anilao Beach Club but we felt like it was a
well-spent weekend. Aside from our activities at the resort, we went around
the neighborhood and bought halo-halo and snacks from the stores.
It was nice talking to the residents who were all eager to tell us stories
when they found out that we were just vacationing.
