Vivere Azure operates as a boutique resort with just thirteen suites, each designed with unique character. Originally the private weekend home of its owners, the resort retains that residential feel—the presidential suite Azure occupies what was once the owners’ parents’ bedroom. This heritage creates spaces that feel personal rather than commercial, hidden within Anilao’s hillside greenery overlooking the waters between Batangas and Balayan bays, a designated marine sanctuary.
The resort has earned recognition as Asia’s Leading Boutique Resort at the World Travel Awards and consistent TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice honors.
The thirteen suites all emphasize openness without sacrificing privacy, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and leaning verandas with sea and sunset views. Nine premiere suites in the main area near the beachfront maintain more rustic design elements from the original residence. Suite sizes range from 34 to 106 square meters. All rooms include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable, complimentary WiFi, and bathrooms with showers, toiletries, and slippers.
The infinity pool provides stunning photo opportunities, while the beach offers kayaking and snorkeling access to the marine sanctuary offshore. Swedish massage services available on-site. The restaurant serves home-cooked food emphasizing quality, with buffet dinners for larger groups (15+) and à la carte for smaller parties. Special dietary requirements accommodated with advance notice.
Parking accommodates 6 cars on-site with overflow valet nearby. Rates reflect the boutique positioning.

While Vivere Azure isn’t a dedicated dive resort, its location provides excellent access to Anilao’s underwater attractions. The marine sanctuary directly offshore offers immediate snorkeling, while the resort arranges diving excursions and island hopping to Sombrero Island and Fortales Island. Dive guides provide equipment and underwater photography services, with sea turtle encounters among the highlights.
The resort caters to guests who want diving as part of a broader vacation experience rather than intensive dive-focused itineraries. Snorkeling and kayaking through coral reefs available directly from the beachfront. The emphasis remains on relaxation and natural beauty rather than technical diving operations.
Vivere Azure appeals to travelers who want Anilao’s underwater access wrapped in boutique luxury. Couples celebrating anniversaries or honeymoons find the intimate scale, sunset views, and residential character create the right atmosphere. The thirteen-suite limit ensures exclusivity. Non-diving companions genuinely enjoy themselves here rather than merely tolerating their partner’s hobby. Expect premium rates for this positioning; those prioritizing dive frequency over ambiance will find better value elsewhere, but for a romantic Anilao getaway with diving included, Vivere Azure delivers.
