A pioneering conservation-based resort experience

Wakatobi was founded on the principle that discerning divers would gladly visit and support a resort which offered more than the basics. Wakatobi combines a world-class diving operation delivering exceptional service to its guests with a reef conservation program which, in guaranteeing the pristine quality of the reefs for those guests, delivers sustainable income and development support to the local communities.

Pushing the boundaries

Wakatobi constantly pushes the boundaries on what constitutes a ‘dive resort’ redefining both the software and hardware of the operation in the process.
