KUNGKUNGAN BAY RESORT
The luxurious Kungkungan Bay Resort was purpose-built in 1994 and completely refurbished during 2004 (including the addition of a swimming pool and improvements to the dedicated camera workshop). The resort is almost always blessed with a mild breeze that lifts and stirs the coconut palms. The beautifully designed restaurant, glassed on all sides, perches out over the water with views of the grassy and chalk cliffs of Serena Island and the wooded ridges of Lembeh Island rising in the distance beyond. The restaurant offers international cuisine specializing in Thai, Malay, Indonesian and Mexican food as well as western-style dishes. Very extensive menus are offered and you are welcome to select whatever you like and as much as you like! Meals can be arranged at any time of the day or night! A very warm welcome and superb service from the local staff awaits the diver who seeks out this luxurious tropical hideaway adjacent to the pristine reefs of the Lembeh Strait. Kungkungan Bay Resort has been described as the finest dive resort in Indonesia, and without a doubt the local dive guides are exceptionally good. Well used to catering for keen photographers and marine biologists, their ability to find strange ‘critters’ for their guests is legendary.
Traditional House rooms have 2 queen-sized beds, air-conditioning, ceiling fans and well equipped bathrooms with shower. Rooms are L-shaped and provide the perfect choice for friends sharing accommodation. Cottage Suites are large and spacious with a sitting room and veranda, 2 queen-sized beds, air-conditioning ceiling fans and a large bathroom. Deluxe Rooms are air-conditioned and offer a modern, open style. They are exceptionally spacious with a living area, king-sized bed, large veranda and large bathroom. They make a great choice for couples who enjoy a more romantic style of accommodation! All rooms are beachfront.
Some months at the resort are designated ‘speciality months’, featuring a well-known expert underwater photographer, videographer or marine biologist.
Three single-tank boat dives are included each day. With the dive sites only 5-10 minutes from the resort, divers return to the resort between dives. The morning briefing and boat dive take place after a leisurely breakfast and you will return in time to take advantage of the superb cuisine provided by the resort kitchens. Afternoon briefings and boat dives start after lunch. Shore diving is available at any time at the discretion of the dive master, who ensures that tides and local conditions are suitable before granting permission. Night dives are available on request, at extra cost. Nitrox is available.
Stays can be of any length. Prices given below for shore based locations relate to a stay of 7 nights.
