“Another one of my all-time unbeatable favorites. Yes, I admit, there are quite a few of those on this site. But, I think I would say that of all the operations I’ve ever worked with, Wakatobi Resort comes as close to “perfect” as possible. The accommodation, the food (oh, my, the food!), the island, the diving operation, the incredible support that the resort gives to both the environment and the villagers on the island …. I could go on. Suffice it to say, you just can’t do better than Wakatobi.” …. Dominick Macan

Overview

This is a distinctly first-class experience. A spectacular house-reef lies just yards from the resort’s splendid white-sand beach with multiple dive sites that never fail to amaze – and, you’re in proximity to dozens of other top-notch dive sites, accessible by means of a fleet of Wakatobi’s five 60-70 foot dive boats.

Also, this is home to the spectacular Pelagian liveaboard, which means you can easily combine resort & liveaboard diving on one trip. And, it’s a perfect resort for non-divers.

This region is home to some of the very the finest coral gardens you’ll find anywhere in the world. In addition, you’ll find critters galore, representing a vast array of species and diversity.

26 Individual bungalows and villas, all with private bath, accommodate a maximum of 52 guests in remarkable luxury. The restaurant, featuring haute-cuisine, is situated in a stunning natural setting & there’s a fantastic spa facility for your leisure hours.

Thanks to the philosophy allowing divers a maximum of freedom & independence (within practical limits) you’ll enjoy extra time in the water at the hours you prefer. And, perhaps the icing on the cake in today’s environment of concern about impact of tourism and the health of our oceans, is the Wakatobi commitment to both conservation and community. Their program is long-standing & award-winning.

Diving

The list is so long that it’s difficult to know where to begin, but it’s important to note that this is a destination famous amongst photographers for incredible macro photography – which if course translates to a wealth of coral and small creatures.

You’ll see larger creatures, too, such as turtles, sting rays, eagle rays and mantas. You’ll see frogfish and soldier fish and trumpet fish. There will be bannerfish, angelfish, anemone fish, gobies, mandarin fish, lionfish, scorpion fish, cuttlefish, ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses, lobsters, crabs, shrimps – and nudibranchs galore.

And, honestly, this is the tip of the iceberg. You’ll just have to see it to believe it . . . .
