Dive Solana

Around Manila


The refurbished Solana is a good choice for those seeking some R&R, with its swimming pool, swim-out pontoon and all-inclusive packages. All of the cottages are well appointed and ocean facing. As well as scuba diving, staff can arrange snorkelling, kayaking and island-hopping. It’s 10km south of the Anilao village turn-off.
