Along with Tagaytay and Baguio, the beaches of Batangas are Manila resident's favorite weekend destination. For international tourists, Batangas is famous for its great diving areas. Batangas has two major beach areas. On its west coast, there's Nasugbu, Matabungkay and Calatagan Beach. West coast resorts featured by Philippine Hotel Reservations Service include Lago De Oro Beach Club & Restaurant (with its own water skiing facility), Matabungkay Beach Resort & Hotel, and the Golden Sunset Resort (almost a "beach Disneyland" and a paradise for families). An up and coming beach area at the southeast tip of Batangas is Laiya Beach in San Juan. Resorts at Laiya Beach include La Luz, Laiya Coco Grove, Sabangan, Kabayan and the Blue Coral Beach Resort.

Anilao, Mabini is where diving aficionados will find dive resorts, ranging from basic cottages to stylish resorts. Great budget diving options include the Dive & Trek Resort and the Anilao Outrigger Resort. More hotel-like rooms and amenities are offered by the Eagle Point Resort or the Balai Resort Anilao.

Finally, inland Batangas boasts several properties perfect for those seeking something different like The Farm which offers unique Spa vacations and healthy organic cuisine. Travelers looking for convenience and typical city hotel accommodations will find many choices as Philippine Hotel Reservations Service highly recommends business class hotels such as the Days Hotel and Hotel Pontefino in Batangas City; Microtel Inn & Suites in Sto.Tomas; or the Hotel La Corona in Lipa City.
