Built like a house by the sea, Balai is perched atop a rocky slope in San Teodoro Mabini, Batangas. Architecturally designed with vast open spaces, it offers sweeping views of the sea. Scattered around are groves of trees, left to grow in their natural habitat, frame the view from each of the decks of the nipa and bamboo cottages.

Relaxing comes so easily that one almost forgets that Balai is just minutes aways from some of Batangas’ most colorful dive spots. Open everyday all year round, Balai offers SCUBA diving and other sports equipment to guests who are about to discover the wonders of another world under the sea.

All of Balai’s rooms offer sweeping views of the sea. Ghost Trees frame the view from each of the decks of the nipa and bamboo cottages.
