A Diver’s Dream Within All Budgets

At Divers Lodge Lembeh Resort, we’ve been making diver’s dreams come true since 2002. Our founders, Linda and Rob, along with their children Adrian and Indah, and their two pet dogs Cantik and Ganteng, live permanently at the resort. They warmly welcome you as their personal guests. Each and every bungalow and the restaurant offer a great view at the sea, forest and mountains. Our experienced guides are happy to help you to spot the most amazing critters, and our private guides and unlimited dive time guarantees you can take all the time you want. Our custom-built boats are spacious and have everything you need – towels, water, tea, coffee, snacks, and safety equipment.

Bungalows

Our bungalows are well-spaced, ensuring plenty of privacy and each with a private balcony that offers spectacular sea views of Lembeh Strait and Walenekoko Bay. The neat and spacious rooms have western-style bathrooms, excellent beds, hot showers, and free laundry service, ensuring you have a comfortable stay. Air conditioning is installed in a few of our larger bungalows, although we believe it’s unnecessary. All of our Bungalows features Wi-Fi coverage upon request via network extenders. Prices start from IDR 875,000 per night, per person, on a full board basis.

Experience Beautiful Nature, Privacy & Comfortable Living

Divers Lodge Lembeh is surrounded by 25 hectares of tropical nature reserve and only 4 percent of it, is used by the resort itself. The resort is a true butterfly paradise and over the years more and more birds made it their home. Tarsier Spectrum (very small primates), Civets and Monitor lizards are permanent residents here.

Private Boat, Always

Our boats are designed by divers and built for diving. We offer private boats for all guests, whether you come alone, with your spouse, buddy, or group of friends. You can create your own schedule, decide when and where to dive, and dive without time limits, as long as it is within the safety standards of no decompression diving.

If you meet new friends and want to share the boat and costs, we will adjust the schedule accordingly. The cost for this unique service is IDR 1,200,000 per day, per boat, in addition to the number of dives you make. Our rates are lower than any other dive resorts you will find.

Lembeh Strait is known for its unique diving spots, featuring volcanic sandy bottoms, coral gardens, walls, and even shipwrecks. Our strategic location provides easy access to over fifty dive sites, each offering a unique glimpse into the underwater world.

Distinguished for its abundance of unique macro critters. This includes an extraordinary range of nudibranchs, hairy frogfish, ghost pipefish, and rare species such as the blue-ringed octopus.

Sampai jumpa (see you soon)!

We regret to inform you that we had no other option but to close our Weda Resort at Halmahera. The impact on nature from exponentially growing industrial activities has made Eco-tourism in the area unfeasible for the time being. However, our foundation will continue its educational initiatives and kindergarten programs. If you stay with us, you directly contribute to our education and conservation projects.
