Dive into Lembeh Resort boasts panoramic views of Lembeh Island and easy access to several muck dive sites, two of which are the house reef. Although critters are kings here, the variety of diving available is exceptional!
The owner-managed, diver dedicated resort features welcoming and comfortable rooms. The Long-House Rooms are set back amongst the sloping gardens, with simple and stylish decor and communal terrace area. The standalone Garden & Sea View Bungalows and Pool-Front Sea View Bungalows provide more privacy and are more generous in size. Each with a different view, the interiors are the same with four-poster bed, day-bed, and desk. Each also has its own private verandah, furnished with a Japanese Onsen (hot tub) to unwind at the end of the diving day. There's also one Bungalow Suite which is tucked away with garden views. This shares the amenities of the other Bungalows' but has an oversized footprint, dedicated living area, and open-air shower. All rooms are built using locally-sourced materials and are equipped with air-conditioning, en suite bathroom, ceiling fan, satellite TV, minibar, safe and water dispenser.
Facilities include an open-air restaurant serving local and international cuisine, a dedicated camera room and a bar area with communal TV. The swimming pool overlooks the ocean and Lembeh Strait, and spa treatments can be arranged upon request. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout. The resort is a 90-minute road transfer from Manado airport.
The full service dive facility operates three daily boat dives in the Lembeh Strait, famous for its muck diving on black volcanic sand. The purpose built boats return to resort after each dive, allowing divers to relax between dives, and photographers to make any necessary changes to their equipment. The small and experienced team offer a diver guide ration of 3:1.
In addition to the daily scheduled dives, it’s possible explore the house reef - home to Hairball and Aw Shucks dive sites - throughout the day. Mandarin and night dives are available to book locally.
The dive centre caters exceptionally well for photographers and a full range of PADI dive courses are available to those who would like to further their diving education. It’s possible to rent equipment and Nitrox is available.
Underwater highlights are too numerous to list, however some of the known critters that you’ll encounter here are multiple species of nudibranch, seahorse, octopus, pipefish, eels and frogfish, as well as gobies and tobies, dragonet, file fish, flamboyant cuttlefish, shrimp, bobbit worms and a whole lot more.
