Atmosphere Resorts brings you a unique experience within the Philippine archipelago. Sympathetically situated within an old five acre coconut plantation, eight spacious boutique style suites, four garden apartments and two penthouses nestle discreetly, enjoying the spectacular beach front location of the estate alongside the warm coastal waters of the Philippine Sea.

Negros, the black sand

For my buddy it was the first time he was diving in the Philippines. We had been one week on a live-aboard and were diving all around Cebu Island. Beautiful corals, wracks and turtles, we had seen it all. But now we were one week on the island Negros with the capital city Dumaguette. Our hotel was a luxury resort called Bahura. There we went diving on the black sand. Negros is an island created by many volcanoes, hence the black sand.
