Emoha Dive Resort is a boutique 6-room property on the coast of Santander, southern Cebu, under French and Hong Kong management. The resort sits 2 kilometers from Liloan Port (20-minute ferry to Dumaguete) and 10 kilometers from Oslob‘s whale shark interaction site.
With a maximum of 16 guests across 4 double and 2 family rooms, the operation stays intentionally small. The house reef stretches along the beachfront with hard and soft corals and regular turtle sightings.
Rooms are finished with 5-star standard mattresses and 100% cotton bed linens, with double-glazed windows for soundproofing.
The multi-cuisine kitchen reflects the owners’ French-Asian backgrounds. Owner Lottie is known for custom requests including birthday cheesecakes.
The in-house dive shop operates from the beachfront with direct boat launch access. House reef dives require only a 2-5 minute boat ride up or down the coast.
Waterfall day trips within range: Aguinid Falls (8 levels), Tumalog Falls, Hidden Falls, Dao Falls (canyon trek), and Inambakan Falls.
Get covered with DAN Travel Insurance or DiveAssure.

Morning options include an early whale shark trip (20-minute drive to Oslob) or boat dives along the house reef. Snorkeling is available directly off the boat ramp — no boat required.
The restaurant serves meals throughout the day with French-Asian fusion as the house specialty. The outdoor lounge and pool terrace fill the hours between activities.
Transit connections make multi-destination trips easy. Liloan Port is 2 kilometers away for Dumaguete ferries, and buses to Moalboal or Cebu City run along the national road outside the front gate.
Couples and small families who want a boutique, owner-run experience with high-quality dining and immediate reef access. Works well for divers combining whale shark encounters with house reef exploration in a property that maxes out at 16 guests.
Most appreciated by guests who value 5-star room standards, multi-cuisine cooking, and personal attention from owners who wait up for midnight check-ins.
