Go on a discovery:
The Bungalow Resort Dive into Lembeh in the north of Sulawesi is the ideal starting point for those who want to experience a great variety on nature and culture during their Sulawesi holiday trip without having to travel long distances. Situated on the edge of the Tangkoko National Park and at the northern 'mainland end' of the Straits of Lembeh with its world-famous 'muck' dive sites, divers, jungle fans and those seeking tranquillity will all find something to enjoy here. With a wonderful view of the Straits of Lembeh, which is part of the most biodiverse marine area on earth, the Coral Triangle, the family-run resort is the perfect starting point for exploring the endemic species of North Sulawesi, the cultural highlights of the Minahasa Highland region as well as the unique underwater world.
Your expectations:
For your Sulawesi holiday, you want to be in a place that allows you to be both far away and in the middle; far away from the hustle and bustle that crowds typically bring and in the middle of all that Mother Nature has in store. You like exploring a breathtaking underwater world as a diver or snorkeller at least as much as an exciting jungle adventure with monkeys, lizards, colourful birds and other interesting four-, six- or eight-legged creatures, and are also interested in Sulawesi's local Minahasa culture. Therefore, for your Sulawesi trip, you prefer a resort that allows you to seamlessly switch between the worlds of experience while giving you space for a private ambience. Dive into Lembeh - your holiday home on Sulawesi :-)
What you will find here: Two of the most fantastic dive sites for small creatures as a house reef, an idyllic atmosphere in the midst of breathtaking nature.
What you won't find here: A white sandy beach, entertainment outside the resort.

More than 60 dive sites can be visited with the hotel's own twin-engine fibreglass boats.

Taking pictures against a dark sand background makes a big difference.
