PREVIEW
This acclaimed dive operation runs two resorts so guests can experience two iconic dive destinations in North Sulawesi - the Lembeh Strait, which delivers arguably the best muck dives in the world and Bunaken, . Both resorts are boutique in scale, catering to no more than around 30 guests. Both are serviced by excellently equipped dive boats - Lembeh offers a day liveaboard, meaning guests can really relax between dives. There are photo & video centres, semi al fresco restaurants, spa, boutique and WiFi.
STAY
Both Lembeh & Manado resorts are at the upper end of the scale in terms of facilities, each featuring private garden and ocean view cottages with AC, hot water and comfy king size beds. Eco Divers Lembeh has 12 guest rooms, plus restaurant and bar area and even a private dining room. Eco Divers Manado is particuarly inviting, accommodating guests at the luxurious Minahasa Lagoon Tours & Dive Club, which features 21 ocean and garden view cottages - a cottage can be combined via a covered walkway so families can stay together. There’s an elevated restaurant and bar looking out over the water.
PLAY
