THE ULTIMATE RESORT & DIVE EXPERIENCE

Wakatobi was created with the vision to deliver the ultimate dive experience and was established following an extensive search to identify the perfect location for a dive resort in terms of geography, climate, oceanic topography and marine biodiversity. To ensure its future, one of the world’s largest privately protected marine reserves was created . That gives you some idea of the extent to which they will go and the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the Wakatobi experience.

Having identified the premier location, they developed a resort that, despite its remote position, offers a plenitude of facilities and comforts to make a dive trip, and all that surrounds it, an experience that you will cherish.

Wakatobi is a 5-star luxury dive resort in southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia. In a tranquil island setting far from crowds and cities, with no other divers for at least 100 miles, Wakatobi seamlessly blends five-star amenities and civilized comforts with a pristine natural environment; a pairing that has secured its reputation as one of the world’s finest resorts.

The property includes 28 exquisite seaside villas and bungalows tucked into a lush landscape to create a tranquil refuge where “barefoot luxury” combines with exceptional diving and snorkeling.  The resort maintains a four-to-one staff-to-guest ratio to ensure the highest level of personal service.

 

 

 

 

 

Arrive & Dive in the same day!  Getting here is quick and hassle free. You, and all of your belongings, arrive in time for lunch and afternoon diving. Guests are served by direct two-and-a-half hour private charter flights from Bali to the resort’s own airstrip every Monday and Friday.

Mind Blowing Diving – World-class diving is at your doorstep. From shore or by boat, you have exclusive access to miles of pristine reefs, where diverse and dramatic undersea landscapes harbor the highest level of marine biodiversity on the planet.

Beyond Diving – While the underwater realm is magnificent, there are equally memorable experiences awaiting you above the waves. On offer are a wide and engaging range of non-diving activities, from kayaking and paddle boarding to village tours, nature walks, culture and cooking workshops, or our newest offering, kite boarding.

Wakatobi’s Dive Yacht Pelagian combines the five-star service, fine dining and creature comforts of a luxury yacht with exclusive access to an exciting range of Indonesia’s best dive sites. With just ten guests served by a crew of 12, Pelagian delivers the highest levels of personal attention, both in and out of the water.
