Located about 80km away from Manila is Subic. The coastal town offers an easy escape from the city and is favored by those who prefer road trips instead of plane rides. Subic is known for its gorgeous beaches, countless adventures for both adults and children, and fast-growing shopping and dining options at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, making it a good spot for a weekend getaway near Manila.
Subic is also a sanctuary for nature and wildlife. Closely interact with creatures of both land and sea at some of its most famous attractions, including the Zoobic Safari, Ocean Adventure, and the Tree Top Adventure Subic.
Plunge into Subic’s water sports and activities. Try snorkeling, go wreck diving, or go on a day tour at the Inflatable Island. You can also try nearby Zambales tours so you can visit nearby Zambales tourist spots.
In this guide, I list at least 10 best resorts to book in Subic (and Olongapo City), Zambales.
Covering 11 hectares, Whiterock's spacious grounds make it a destination for teambuilding activities and company outings, not to mention properly distanced for The New Normal. A 300-meter beachfront and the Zambales mountains make an unforgettable backdrop for the thrills, spills, and Subic’s best sunset view.
Camayan Beach Resort’s rooms and suites are simple yet homey, bringing you the rest and relaxation any traveler looks for in a vacation. For a one-night stay, a superior room, which can accommodate up to five guests, includes two queen-sized beds, a 50” flat-screen television, and complimentary coffee and tea.
The resort is popular for its staff’s warmth and hospitality. Guests can avail themselves of the resort’s 24-hour reception services and daily housekeeping. While relatively smaller in size compared to the other accommodations on our list, Wild Orchid still provides you the full holiday experience with their large, air-conditioned rooms and complete set of amenities.
The Subic Bay Yacht Club is an adventure in its own right. It treats you to a picturesque view of the marina, and each suite comes with its own balcony for you to take in the stunning vista of the sea. Enjoy their vast selection of facilities, including outdoor pools, the fitness center, table tennis and badminton areas, and a bowling alley.
The hotel rooms are rejuvenating with an ample amount of light, a balcony that gives you a fine view of the sea and the surrounding landscapes, and white and orange interiors that are just as easy on the eyes. Standard, Deluxe, and Executive Rooms are available for 2-4 adults, all-inclusive of a flat-screen television, toiletries, and complimentary tea and coffee.
