Located on the south west tip of Lembeh Island. Divers Lodge Lembeh is surrounded by their own 16 hectares of lush tropical forest and mangroves, while only 1 hectare of it is used by the resort itself. You may see a wide variety of big butterflies, many species of birds like the king fisher and sea eagle, monitor lizards, and with some luck you could find the rare Tarsier primates.
The image below shows the area owned by the resort, outlined by the green lines.
Reforestation
We started building Divers Lodge Lembeh in 2002. Very soon we were able to start planting trees at this peninsula. Earlier people tried to make gardens here by the traditional slash and burn method. However the soil was not good for growing much more than some coconut palms.
At the left, the situation when we came here. The right image shows how it looks now. Unfortunately the location of the resort was not visible yet in the data of 2002. That part was completely barren when we started. But it shows on the recent image.

Beaches
The beachfront of the resort features an excellent house reef with Mandarinfish and is quite nice for snorkeling.
Please note however: The resort is not suitable for a beach holiday, due to wind and currents that often bring waste to our beach. We do our best to clean it everyday, however despite our best efforts it is still not particularly appealing for anything of a beach holiday of the sort.
Fortunately this does not affect our house reef, and during July – September the currents turn and as a result the beach is cleaner. Photo below is the beach during September.
We also have white sandy beaches on the other side of the peninsula, which you can get to with our kayaks or on foot when there is low tide.

Wildlife
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.
