About Sorido Bay Resort
Stay beside legendary Cape Kri at Sorido Bay Resort, a secluded beachfront retreat on Kri Island in the heart of Raja Ampat. Here, spacious accommodation and thoughtful personal service combine with Papua Diving's pioneering knowledge of the region, creating an exceptional base for exploring the Dampier Strait.
The diving is the main attraction. Discover reefs alive with schooling fish, look for wobbegongs and tiny pygmy seahorses, or explore nearby manta sites. Papua Diving's ratio of two divers per guide gives you personal attention and time to appreciate the extraordinary variety of marine life.
Choose from four accommodation categories, from comfortable Sentani Bungalows to the spacious Kebar Villas. Air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms and verandas overlooking the bay provide a welcoming retreat between dives. For families, the Kaimana Bungalow offers additional living space and flexible sleeping arrangements.
Sorido Bay is particularly appealing to underwater photographers. In-room camera workstations include 110V and 220V power outlets, while the Raja Ampat SEACAM Center offers specialist equipment and selected photography workshops. Visiting photographer programmes operate during particular weeks, adding further opportunities to develop your skills.
Full-board dining keeps island life relaxed, with meals, snacks, drinking water, tea and coffee included. Complimentary laundry and Wi-Fi add everyday convenience, leaving you free to concentrate on the diving and your surroundings.
Between dives, explore by kayak or paddleboard, snorkel over colourful shallows or enjoy a treatment at the Healing Hut. Wildlife walks and excursions offer another perspective on Raja Ampat's remarkable islands.
For divers seeking outstanding reef access, attentive guiding and comfort in a remote natural setting, Sorido Bay offers a distinctive Raja Ampat experience.
