Wakatobi BANDA SEA, INDONESIA
Wakatobi, a boutique resort in Indonesia’s remote Banda Sea, marks its 30th anniversary this year — three decades defined by exceptional diving, conservation leadership and warm hospitality. Widely regarded as a world-class destination for snorkelling and diving, the resort remains remarkably accessible despite its location, offering guests a seamless and highly personalised experience supported by an attentive five-to-one staff-to-guest ratio. Access is via Bali, with a private charter flight landing directly on the resort’s on- site airstrip. Accommodation includes beachfront bungalows
and villas, designed in a traditional Indonesian style using sustainable materials. Every villa is appointed with modern comforts such as air conditioning, private verandahs and outdoor showers. For guests seeking a more singular experience, Wakatobi’s newly opened Courtyard Residence represents the pinnacle of the resort’s design philosophy. Spanning more than 8,000sq ft and designed for up to eight guests, the residence offers an entirely private stay, with dedicated
butlers, a private chef, exclusive dive boats and dedicated snorkel and dive guides. The resort’s renowned house reef begins just
beyond the jetty, dropping dramatically into a vertical wall. More than 40 dive and snorkelling sites are accessible to resort guests, where shallow coral gardens transition into deep walls, allowing for long, multi-level dives. Wakatobi’s dive centre offers instruction for all ages, creating a welcoming environment for families. Small transfer boats provide easy access to different sites along the house reef, while custom-built dive boats ensure comfort and stability for excursions farther afield. Beyond the water, guests can enjoy spa
treatments, watersports, birdwatching and cultural excursions, alongside bespoke experiences tailored for special occasions such as honeymoons, anniversaries and wedding ceremonies. Dining is a highlight in its own right, with an accomplished culinary team crafting international and regional dishes while accommodating individual dietary needs. After dark, Wakatobi offers unforgettable astrophotography opportunities.
