Resort Description

Murex Dive Resort is a family-run resort operating continuously since 1987. Rooms are comfortable and air-conditioned and located near the on-site spa, which offers massages to guests.

Three buffet meals are provided in the open-air, authentic restaurant and include international and Asian flavours using local, fresh and sustainable produce.

Guests can enjoy a range of land-based activities including highland tours, trips to view volcanic islands, a guided trek to Tangkoko National Wildlife Preserve or up a volcano or white water rafting. 

Divers are 35 minutes from protected Bunaken Marine National Park in North Sulawesi, where you'll find dramatic walls with hard corals and get the chance to see turtles, reef sharks, sea snakes, eagle rays, sting rays, dolphins, pilot whales and schools of colourful fish.
