Dabirahe Dive, Spa and Leisure Resort  

A 4-star villa on the edge of Bitung, just off the bay and about 7 km from the city center. Roughly an eight-minute drive to Tangkoko Nature Reserve and within easy reach of Mount Tongkoko and Bitung Port — a solid base for diving and wildlife trips.

Small, laid-back resort with 23 air-conditioned rooms that open onto private balconies. Rooms come with refrigerators, LCD TVs and iPod docking stations; bathrooms feature shower/tub combos and hair dryers. The property pairs a spa/massage room with an on-site diving club for adventure-and-relaxation stays. Accessible facilities include an elevator.

Outdoor pool, massage/spa services and a diving club set the tone. Expect barbecue areas and grills, a tour assistance desk, shuttle/transfer services, roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge), free parking and car rental options. Staff speak English; there’s laundry, dry cleaning, luggage storage, private check-in/out and a safe-deposit box — wake up to sea-breeze mornings before a dive.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected for work or planning excursions.

An on-site restaurant serves satisfying meals and continental breakfast is available for a fee. Barbecue facilities add a casual option for evenings and group grilling.
