Sip cocktails and unwind on the balcony of the Terrace Bar and enjoy the social buzz and regular evening entertainment. Or take the short stroll to the vibrant town of Sabang for a great selection of bars and nightlife.

As well as the serenity and enviable location, Scandi Divers’ exceptional draw is its close proximity to over forty world-class dive sites.
