A secluded haven you won’t want to leave

Wakatobi exists for one reason: to offer guests an encounter with one of the world’s last genuinely healthy reef systems, in a setting where the hospitality is as remarkable as the diving. Whether you are underwater or above it, the experience is unhurried, attentive, and unlike anything most guests have found elsewhere.

It’s not uncommon for there to be tears on the last day. Our guests simply don’t want to leave — and many don’t stay gone for long.

Location

Wakatobi sits in the heart of the Coral Triangle in southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia — one of the most biodiverse marine regions on earth, and among the least disturbed. The remoteness is part of what protects it. Away from boat traffic, coastal development, and the pressures that have degraded reefs elsewhere, Wakatobi’s waters have remained what reefs everywhere once were.

Accommodation

You will find that Wakatobi’s remoteness and its comfort are not in tension. Our accommodations are thoughtfully appointed and restful — a place to return to after a day on the reef that feels as considered as everything else here.

Dining

Our guests tell us the food here is exceptional — and mealtimes in our Oceanfront Restaurant are as eagerly anticipated as the dives. The menu changes daily with fresh local ingredients, and our team has spent years learning exactly what guests love.

Wakatobi Spa

Take time to restore at Wakatobi’s spa, where East and West come together in a blend of Indonesian and European traditions.

Other amenities

Additional amenities in the resort to enhance your trip – our boutique & gift shop, the library, media room and the longhouse lounge.

We had high expectations of coming to Wakatobi, it far exceeded our expectations in every way – it couldn’t be more perfect. The reef or biodiversity of marine lives, the attention to details of each staff. It is idealic place on earth when everyone knows your name.
