Welcome to ALOR TANAPI Dive Resort Indonesia
SELAMAT DATANG di ALOR TANAPI Dive Resort Indonesia!
OPENED 1ST MAY 2023
DIVING SEASON 2024: 20 MARCH – 20 DECEMBER 2024
Alor Tanapi is a newly built dive resort opened in 2023 located on the island of Alor in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
Our resort with just 6 bungalows offers an intimate haven for divers seeking unforgettable experiences. With pristine waters and a rich marine ecosystem, Alor has long been hailed as a hidden gem in the diving world.
The resort is situated approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the main town of Kalabahi. After several years of scuba diving all around Indonesia, we decided to settle in Alor as we feel it offers an exceptional variety of dive sites. With its unique combination of coral reefs, pelagics and muck diving, Alor has something for everyone.
The Resort
Our Alor dive resort offers comfortable accommodation, freshly prepared meals, high-quality diving facilities and equipment, ensuring couples and small groups can experience a complete dive vacation in a remote setting. The resort itself is located on a hill in Sebanjar, on the Bird’s Head Peninsula, overlooking Pantar, Pura and Ternate islands. Strategically located between the main road and the Pantar Strait, we are able to offer a number of land tours in addition to having direct access to over 40 different world-class dive sites within 30-45 minutes by speedboat.
Diving in Alor
Located in the heart of the coral triangle, Alor diving is renowned for its great visibility, stunning coral reefs, pelagic encounters and small bizarre critter hunting in the muck sites. From the resort, you can dive Alor and explore its underwater beauty. There are more than 40 dive sites within a 30-minute radius by boat that can be reached from the resort. It is also possible to do day trips to some dive sites located in Beang Abang which offer some great muck diving, a highlight for underwater macro photographers. We recommend a minimum stay of one to two weeks to be able to cover the range of dive sites.
Location
Alor Tanapi Dive Resort is located in the Northwest of Alor island, the largest island in the Alor archipelago, on the Bird’s head peninsula. From the airport, it takes approximately one hour’s drive to reach the resort, and from the resort to the main town of Kalabahi, it is a 40-minute drive. We are strategically located within the Pantar Strait with easy access by boat to both coral and muck dive sites, while at the same time our road access allows guests plenty of freedom and flexibility to explore Alor’s landscape and culture.
