STEP INTO THE OCEANARIUM
At I’Msignia Beachfront Resort on Puka Beach, Boracay, the Oceanarium is where the destination reveals its soul. Walk through corridors of living water where rays glide overhead and shoals turn in unison, settle into a table as marine life drifts past like a slow film, and gather at a bar lit only by the blue. Watch performers move through the deep, meet creatures up close, and feel the hush that falls when the ocean surrounds you on every side. This is not a place to observe from a distance — it is a world to step into, meant to be felt long after you leave. Open to resort guests and day pass visitors, for the curious, the romantic, and everyone who has ever wondered what lies beneath.
At the emotional center of I’Msignia lies the Oceanarium — a living world of light, movement, and wonder around which the entire destination is arranged. This is not an aquarium to be studied. It is meant to be felt. Dine beneath the sea in elegant, low-lit rooms where the ocean drifts by like slow cinema. Gather for cocktails at the intimate, blue-lit Jellyfish Bar as drifting marine life softens every conversation. Wander viewing galleries designed like the halls of a private museum, and linger in lounges built for the unhurried. Watch mermaid performances shimmer through the blue, encounter sea lions up close, and discover interactive marine moments — from snorkeling to animal encounters — that turn spectators into participants. Whether it is a family pressed close to the glass, a couple finding romance in the hush and the light, or a dinner guests will describe for years, every visit brings you closer to the wonders of the ocean. Discovery as atmosphere, entertainment, and spectacle — entirely I’Msignia’s own.

WHERE SPECTATORS BECOME PARTICIPANTS
These are not lessons — they are lifestyle entertainment. The kind of spectacle guests return for again and again, and talk about long after they have gone home.
Mermaid Performances
Watch as performers shimmer through the blue in choreographed underwater spectacles — grace, wonder, and a touch of the mythical, staged live within the Oceanarium's main tank.
Scuba Diving Experience
Go beneath the surface yourself — a guided scuba encounter inside the Oceanarium's marine habitats, surrounded by the same ocean life you once watched from behind the glass.
Fish Spa
A gentle, restorative novelty — lower your feet into a living spa and let hundreds of tiny fish do what no treatment quite replicates. Relaxing, playful, and unlike anything else on the island.
Snorkeling
Take to the water and explore the marine world at your own pace — a hands-on encounter with the sea that extends the Oceanarium experience beyond the glass.
The Aviary
Step into a lush, open-air habitat of Lories and lorikeets — a quieter discovery tucked within the wider I'Msignia world, and a favourite with families and nature lovers alike.
A WORLD BENEATH, A WORLD BEYOND
Five distinct zones within one living marine world — each designed not to be studied, but to surround you in the wonder of the ocean.
The Main Tank
The heart of the Oceanarium — a vast, luminous marine habitat where the ocean becomes atmosphere, not exhibit. The living backdrop against which every other experience is set.
The Shark Pool
A dedicated habitat for one of the ocean’s most commanding inhabitants — face to face, separated only by glass.
Underwater Viewing Gallery
Galleries designed like the halls of a private museum — wander through as marine life unfolds around you at every turn.
360° Viewing Gallery
Step into the center of the ocean — a panoramic gallery that surrounds you on all sides with the living sea.
The Lagoon
A tranquil transition between worlds — open-air waters that bridge the shoreline and the deeper marine habitats within.
The Jellyfish Bar
An intimate, 18-seat bar glowing beneath drifting jellyfish — cocktails, blue light, and a mood found nowhere else on the island.

The Oceanarium is the emotional centerpiece of I’Msignia — a living marine world of luminous habitats, underwater dining, live performances, and interactive encounters. It is not a traditional aquarium to be studied, but an immersive destination designed to be felt.
The Oceanarium features the Main Tank and its marine habitats, the Shark Pool, an Underwater Viewing Gallery, a 360° Viewing Gallery, the Lagoon, live mermaid performances, fur seal encounters, scuba diving experiences, a fish spa, snorkeling, and the Aviary.
Three distinct dining and drink destinations sit within the Oceanarium: Aqua Dining, offering coursed meals beside luminous marine habitats for up to 64 guests; the 360° Viewing Gallery with seating for 32; and the Jellyfish Bar, an intimate 18-seat bar glowing beneath drifting jellyfish. The Underwater Restaurant & Bar accommodates up to 154 guests with dining and cocktails set against the living ocean.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for Aqua Dining and the Jellyfish Bar, as seating is limited and demand is high. [CONTENT NEEDED — confirm reservation process and booking channels
