Manado makes up one of the 32 provinces of Indonesia and lies at the heart of this stretched out island nation. Manado is a tropical paradise, filled with verdant jungle, rapid rivers and of course the mind blowing marine life and lush corals that makes the region so unmissable for divers. Hidden away amid the coconut groves of Wori Bay, the Kima Bajo resort is the gateway to this gem of a destination with views overlooking the Sea of Sulawesi to one side or the hillside and a dormant volcano to the other.

The Kima Bajo resort promises luxurious relaxation, escapism and excitement. And it delivers every time. An intimate and secluded resort with a boutique feel, there are 19 villas, each with outdoor bath and shower set into the stone floor, 12 spacious long house suites, 20 cottage villas and the extra special grand villa with its own private pool and annex. All have air con, safe, mini bar and wifi. The Nibong restaurant is the place to head whatever time of the day, serving local and international cuisine. The Mayana Spa is a retreat into nature or just lie back poolside and enjoy the sinking sunset over the beach.

On site are the impressive and knowledgeable Eco Divers. With over 30 years experience to their names, this professional team know every inch of the astounding sites that lie just moments away. With access to the Buaken National Park by custom built dive boat, in less that half an hour you can dive into a thriving protected water wonderland that rivals anything else on the planet.

Just came back from an amazing honeymoon at Kima Bajo, and we could not have asked for more. The diving was amazing and it was very easy to find a lot of interesting things to see in the water. The staff and the guides were great and everything felt really professional. We are definitely planning on going back one day. When you go, dont miss out on the dusk and night dives! Martin Nordin
