Resort Facilities
Atlantis Puerto Galera is beautifully built into the hills of Sabang Beach of Puerto Galera and has a great beachfront location; in many travel guidebooks and magazines, Atlantis is quoted as one of the most outstanding resorts of the Philippines with its award-winning (Flintstones) design.
The resort’s restaurant (Toko’s) is really special and probably the best restaurant at Sabang Beach. Toko’s will provide you with a unique dining experience using fresh local products and flavours made to an international standard. They have an ever-changing blackboard 3-course lunch and dinner menus, theme nights, plus a Mongolian Wok. You can also choose from an extensive list of cocktails and shakes or enjoy the best coffee in town.
Atlantis has a nice beach front cocktail bar, the ‘50 Bar’, where most people start their evening. Enjoy a great selection of music, meet new friends and enjoy the company of Atlantis’ dive staff while overlooking the ocean.
There is a free form private pool, filled with non-chlorinated water and sheltered by trees, and a poolside service that includes snacks and full drinks menu.
The Spa offers surprisingly affordable two hour hot stone, Japanese Shiatsu and Thai to name just a few options. They also offer facials, manicures as well as hot wax treatments for hands and feet. Unwind from a hard day’s diving and add the perfect finishing touches to your vacation.
The resort has a boutique shop for all your needs and more. Dive, equipment and accessories; sunscreen, t-shirts, swimwear, sarongs, and more such as beautiful native art.
Staying Connected
Atlantis Resort has reliable mobile phone reception and all rooms and common areas have free high-speed WiFi (provided via microwave link).

Like its sister dive centre in Dumaguete, there are 21 individual cubbyholes to store equipment with a work surface 80cm deep with a shelf running the length of the work surface for battery chargers and eight fluorescent under-shelf lights. Five air-guns and 16 sets of power sockets in both 220 and 110 volts are positioned around the room.
The facility has 42-inch HD flat-screen TV mounted on the wall with both HDMI and USB connections so guests can show off their photos and video on the big screen at the end of a day’s great diving!
Atlantis Puerto Galera also offers Fluoro Night Dives, where using a special filtered blue light and a yellow mask visor you can see first-hand the magic of fluorescence.
Dive sites
Atlantis Puerto Galera has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in South East Asia, located at the very heart of the ‘Coral Triangle’, offering everything from entry-level diving to diving in strong currents. The reefs are well protected by the local dive schools. Coral and fish life are recovering very well from earlier abuse by dynamite fishing and give a very good idea of the biodiversity of Philippines’ marine life.
Highlights are the dive sites around Verde Island with beautifully overgrown cliffs, good fish life and strong currents; and The Canyons, also with strong currents, great coral growth and an abundance of fish. Nudibranch City has an incredible variety of sea slugs and the Sabang Bay is a great place for macro photography with pygmy seahorses, frogfish, nudibranchs, scorpionfish and much more. Diving is possible all year round with good visibility most of the time and moderate currents.
