When we chat to clients about Indonesia we always talk in terms of “world class diving”. There’s no doubt that the diving across Indonesia is (amongst) the best in the world but there’s one name that is considered even the pinnacle of this exceptional destination...

Wakatobi Dive Resort - a legendary name amongst discerning divers and snorkellers. A stay at this 5-star luxurious boutique resort gives unparalleled access to the incredible reefs of Southeast Sulawesi’s Wakatobi National Park. And a holiday that not only offers the highest quality service but an assurance that your stay actively benefits the local environment and community through the resort’s robust commitment to sustainable eco-tourism. It’s no exaggeration to say that guests simply don’t want to leave this little piece of heaven and return to the ‘real’ world.

Wakatobi Dive Resort – now available for Diverse Travel clients.
