WAKATOBI DIVE RESORT

We have five levels of accommodation: 4 bungalow styles including our latest addition - Premium Select Bungalows, plus the upscale Cliff Villas (described below). All 4 bungalow styles are of equal floor size and air conditioned. What sets them apart is their location and appointment level. All are available with a combination of a king-size bed and twin beds (up to three adults or two adults and two children). All bungalows are beautifully hand-crafted in wood. They are spacious and, some would say, homely. With a balcony in front as well as a couple of lounge chairs with umbrella there's space to sit back and relax. There's a desk with internet access, a mini-bar and a safe.

The Cliff Villas
Located on the northern end of the resort beach these villas are perched on the cliffs (only a few feet up really) with superb views over the ocean and sunset. With a modern design and earthy materials such as wood, glass and sandstone they are more spacious than the Bungalows and equipped for luxurious comfort and relaxation. For couples seeking the best - these are our nicest rooms.

Premium Select Bungalow
The Premium Select Bungalows are our four original Premium Bungalows (those on the north side of the jetty) that have received a complete interior makeover. They're simply gorgeous! And they have a huge front porch with comfortable lounge beds / cushions and a stunning view.

Premium Bungalow
The Premium Bungalows are of the same construction and size as the Beach Bungalows, but are located on the western beach facing the sunset. A little extra care has gone into their interior and they have small upgrades such as own marine life library, torch for walks at night and more.

Beach Bungalow
Front row with an ocean view on the south beach. See the fish jump, hear the gentle waves and listen to the birds - all while seated on the balcony or in one of the comfortable lounge chairs in front of your Bungalow. These are the units with the best breeze from the ocean and is an excellent choice for those who prefer to enjoy a holiday in the tropics without the use of air conditioning (all units have AC for those that wants it a bit cooler:)

Garden Bungalow
These very comfortable "cabanas" are located slightly behind and in-between the front-row bungalows amidst beautiful palm trees and other tropical plants. Available both on the south and west section of the Resort.
