Wakatobi Dive Resort
Wakatobi Dive resort in Indonesia is a world-class eco-resort. This lovely resort is located in an incredibly varied and exciting marine environment in the south-eastern part of Sulawesi. Here you will find a perfect symphony of colors, shapes and corals that are world class. Cool, strange and odd creatures await you among the elongated and teeming with life, unspoilt and protected reefs. This very convivial resort offers to many a getaway where comfort and service are surpassed only by outstanding diving and stunning sunsets. The level of service here is truly top notch. The staff always go the extra mile with their legendary attention to detail.
Wakatobi is a multiple award-winning diving resort. It is an oasis in a world filled with stress and must. To avoid crowding and stress here at the resort, only a few dozen guests can be here at a time. In this secluded and unspoiled environment, you live on a small island in bungalows or villas. They are tastefully decorated and there are a few different options to choose from. All villas naturally have their own toilet and shower and they all have their own terrace with sun loungers outside. The villas are cooled by the sea's pleasant breezes, fans and air conditioning. Wakatobi is simply a taste of paradise and like an ear seasoned with fantastic diving.
The restaurant
In Wakatobi's own restaurant, a talented team of both Indonesian and international chefs perform culinary magic. They mainly use local ingredients and the chefs prepare a mix of local and international delicacies. Here you enjoy delicious food together with fine wines and spirits from all over the world. On the menu you will find many delicious dishes. This makes it easy to recharge after a full day of diving. The team in the kitchen will also be happy to help you meet your special diet needs. If you want vegetarian food or have any allergies, just let them know in advance and they will make sure you get at least as good food as everyone else.
The entire resort is built by local craftsmen and designed in traditional Indonesian style. Here, the entire area is part of the diving resort, which means that everyone cares about service, environment and quality. One of the most popular parts of the resort is the Jetty Dropoff Bar. It is built as a lounge and here they serve cocktails at sunset. Travelers from all over the world sit down here to chat under the starry sky.
To get to Wakatobi, you must have an overnight stay in Bali on the way there to catch their private plane. We recommend two nights on the way there and at least one night on the way home. It's to make sure you get luggage and more. Feel free to combine with days in Bali as well. There is a lot to experience there.
