Welcome to Wakatobi - a destination where you can dive the world's most pristine reefs and experience
remoteness from everyday life in total comfort. Situated on a beautiful tropical island in the remote
and peaceful Wakatobi archipelago in the Banda Sea, Wakatobi Dive Resort offers what many consider to
be the best reef diving in the world.
World Class House Reef
Blessed with a house reef where you can begin your dive only 20m (60 feet) from the dive center,
Wakatobi is often described as a live aboard with a built-in beach! In addition to the spectacular
house reef, there are several dozens of easily accessible dive sites offering incredible marine
life diversity, color and natural splendor. More ....
Fine accomodations
Although one of the world's most remote resorts, Wakatobi Dive Resort offers a whole new level of comfort
and class not usually associated with a typical dive resort. Our beach villas and bungalows are spacious,
tastefully decorated and offer all of the amenities you would expect in any fine resort.

Secluded Intimate Resort

constructed with traditional methods for a small number of select guests embracing sound eco tourism principles.
The native architectural style of the main building and bungalows was hand crafted by local artisans using
traditional, manual tools. More ....
Live-a-board Adventure
In addition to our land-based resort we also own and operate the world-renowned Pelagian yacht.
The Pelagian is fully integrated into Wakatobi's award-winning marine conservation and community
development programs, it has exclusive access to the diving sites within the extended Wakatobi region.
It's now possible to combine a trip to Wakatobi with a live-a-board adventure on the Pelagian on the same
holiday! More ....
Conservation - A new approach
Wakatobi is about something more than just a great diving experience. Our mission from day one was
to establish a dive resort that gave divers a sense of well-being that they are helping contribute to
an environmentally and culturally sound conservation program. So it's not an accident that we
established the Wakatobi Collaborative Reef Conservation Program, which is now one of the world's
largest privately-funded marine protected areas.
While you are enjoying a superb diving vacation, you are helping us ensure that the marine wonders in
the area will be around for the future. More ....
