Walindi Plantation Resort

From the first communication and email, the service provided was outstanding. I had many questions about logistics of travel and activities and all answered promptly. Was met at airport on arrival with comfortable transport to Walindi and sightseeing. The countryside is green, hilly and tropical. The resort is set on a quiet stretch of beach and very private with beautiful views of ocean and distant volcanoes. The gardens are lush with wonderful pathways to wander about. I stayed in Bungalow 10 ( was given free upgrade… what treat!) which was secluded, well appointed the great hot water shower, tea and coffee making in room and the all important ceiling fan. Incredibly, all the water in the rooms is drinkable and so good to stay hydrated. Beautiful wooden raised balcony at front to look over the trees and bay. Definitely a place to relax and read a book. Food was all delicious and varied to all tastes with lots of choices. Some of the best snorkeling that I have done in many years with coral, many invertebrates and fish galore! The boat team perfectly organized for safe and highly enjoyable time. Finally too the forest close to Walindi above the plantation is magnificent once beyond the village vegetable gardens. Many plants new to me, especially tree ferns. This native forest is alive with birds and saw many hornbills! Fantastic stay and highly recommended for lovers of nature above and below the sea. Leave enough time to travel by air and make ongoing connections given the remote location. Would definitely go back for longer,

Beautiful resort with awesome morning sunrise views. Everyone was very friendly with good service. The bungalow was clean and had tea and coffee available in it. Every dinner had multiple choices of meat and veggies. Scuba diving was great!

Over more than 40 years, the Benjamin family and their team have created a wonderfully unique paradise at Walindi in Kimbe Bay. We had a brilliant stay, diving was amazing, island visits spectacular and trips to Kimbe market and the hot springs were exciting! The diving team looking after us were professional, knowledgable and fun and every dive showed something new. The resort team from Food and Beverage to reception to housekeeping did an awesome job and really looked after us. Thank you for a wonderful holiday in spectacular West New Britain!

Walindi is a wonderful set up for divers. The staff and the management are super helpful & friendly, always obliging and wanting to make the diver’s experience top notch. Of course the diving was absolutely super and the dive crew were first class in their approach to briefing & safety. The accommodation was terrific and the food fantastic. Highly recommend.

If you're looking for an unforgettable place to escape and relax in PNG, Walindi Plantation Resort is the perfect destination. Located on the shores of Kimbe Bay, this intimate resort offers world-class snorkeling, breathtaking scenery, and warm hospitality that makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive to check in. My wife and I stayed in the bungalows which are spacious, comfortable, and surrounded by lush rainforest gardens, offering a true tropical paradise. The staff are incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The food is fresh and delicious, with a variety of dishes to enjoy. The central resort area including the pool, sundeck, bar and lounge is the perfect place to unwind and soak in the beauty of Kimbe Bay. Our highlight was the day trip to the incredibly beautiful crystal clear waters of the hot river, although the snorkeling along the hanging gardens was simply spectacular. Walindi Plantation Resort is a must-visit. This resort delivers an experience you'll remember forever. We would definitely return!
