Vivere Azure Resort, Batangas

Vivere Azure Resort - A hillside 5-star retreat with infinity pool, marine sanctuary access, and locally-sourced interiors

Perched on a lush hillside overlooking Anilao’s coastline, Vivere Azure Resort offers 13 uniquely named suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, private verandas, and views of the sea or mountainside greenery. The 732 ft², 839.5 ft², and 1001 ft² suites feature air conditioning, free WiFi, and free bottled water. Guests can dine at the on-site restaurant serving home-cooked meals, with buffet dinners for groups of 15 or more, or enjoy cocktails by the infinity pool facing Maricaban islands. A marine sanctuary accessible via kayak or snorkel lies a few meters from the shore, where dolphins may occasionally be spotted. Vivere Azure is 62 miles from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, with landmarks like Dive Solana (0.3 miles) and Mt. Gulugod Baboy (2 miles) nearby.
