The Lembeh Resort is a wonderful, intimate boutique style hotel elegantly situated amongst the lush green tropical hills of Lembeh Island with magnificent views out over the straits. Approximately 60 minutes drive from Manado airport, followed by a 10 minute boat ride across the Lembeh Strait, the resort is encircled by opulent green gardens blending seamlessly into the landscape. This resort has swiftly become a world class diving destination within the diving community fundamentally for muck and critter diving, though in more recent years, it has also become extremely popular for macro and wide angled photography.

Lembeh Resort’s tastefully styled rooms and bungalows are strategically positioned to give views of either the ocean or tropical gardens. Guests can choose between 8 Premium Luxury Cottages, 5 Hillside Luxury Cottages, 6 Garden View Rooms, or the Cliffside Villa complete with private swimming pool, 180° views of the Lembeh Strait and private butler service. Our Premium Luxury Cottages offer modern, tropical living spaces with views over the Strait. For the convenience of groups and families, two Premium Luxury Cottages are adjoining and offer additional space. All accommodations include ensuite bathroom with hot water, hairdryer, air-conditioning, king-size bed or twin beds, dispenser for cold and hot drinking water, complimentary tea and coffee, stocked mini-bar, free Wi-Fi, and electronic safe.

Lembeh Resort is a full board resort and all stays include 3 meals per day in the ambient, open air restaurant with snacks between dives at the pool bar. Internationally-trained chefs prepare an extensive menu of gastronomic delights from Asian flavours to tastes from home using the freshest ingredients and locally-sourced produce. The restaurant will accommodate any special requests or dietary requirements.

The Lembeh Strait’s sheer abundance of biodiversity and rare critters has led to it being named the “Critter Capital of the World” where every dive reveals countless unique finds. If you want to see the weird and the wonderful, and dive on the best muck diving sites in the world then the Lembeh Strait is the place to be. Our dive center, Critters at Lembeh Resort, offers highly trained and experienced dive guides, fulltime on-site marine biologists and a photo pro who is available for consultations and advice. We have a camera room with work stations, our Backscatter authorized photo center, PADI Instructors, private guide and private boat services.

Recreational options at the resort include hours of indulgence in the resort's Spa or in the fresh water swimming pool enjoying the stunning views across the Lembeh Strait. You can also take advantage of a full range of land-based excursions on offer ranging from a short 1.5 hour tour of the local village to the full day tour of the Minahasan Highlands.

Please note that Lembeh Resort is currently undergoing work to introduce a brand new beautiful Spa building. This work is expected to be completed in December 2024; in-room Spa treatments are being offered in the meantime.
