Harmony Bay Resort and Dive Center

We couldn’t recommend this small resort with more enthusiasm! The English and Indonesian speaking European owners are personally involved in every aspect of the resort operation and their wonderful staff are always attentive and friendly. The eight bungalows, four in front on the beach and four offset behind the beachfront bungalows (allowing an open view of the bay) all have showers and toilets. The front bungalows feature large French doors that open to the wrap-around deck. All the bungalows have two delightful hammocks and two large cushioned chairs. The four-poster queen beds are comfortable and enclosed by mosquito nets. The small bay in front of the resort has an abundance of coral and teeming with fish. The water is warm and generally calm. The resort has a full-service dive center and can provide guests with both snorkel and SCUBA gear. The three meals and afternoon snack are generous, the food is delicious, and always more than enough. The sand is powdered coral and feels as fine as talcum powder. While mosquitoes are present in the morning and early evening, their numbers are small; we used a small amount of repellent which was completely effective. The resort will pick you up at the ferry dock in Wakai and drop you off at the end of your stay. It is included in the rate. The hosts will arrange snorkeling and diving trips and will also help arrange transportation both to and from the resort. They made our stay perfect. You can WhatsApp before booking for answers to all your questions. The quiet beauty of Harmony Bay is intoxicating.

We had a fantastic stay at Harmony Bay. The bay itself is absolutely gorgeous, the bungalows are spacious and I could spend a year chilling in the hammock on the veranda. Valentina and Rock took great care of us even though they had literally just returned from Europe and came on the same boat we did to the resort. The beach was soft and incredible and our kids loved playing on it and in the ocean. The sunset views were spectacular and we loved the shady resort area and the food. They even went out of their way to help us spot some endemic owls since they saw I was enjoying looking for birds around the property. This is a simple place, there is only electricity in the evenings and not even fans but the breeze and the jungle tend to cool down the bungalows and the chill atmosphere lets you immerse yourself in the surrounding beauty of nature. It's a wonderful place to go off the grid for a few days which is becoming increasingly harder to find in our interconnected world and the snorkeling on their coral garden is incredible. You have to swim out a way over the shallow ledge to get to the reef but when you do it's like swimming into another world full of colorful coral and fish, it's absolutely magical! Days spent reading in a hammock and snorkeling that reef will be some of the best days of your life.

Un ambiente intimo con colazione e pranzi condivisi in modo da poter comunicare con gli altri ospiti. La prima volta che facciamo un esperienza di questo tipo, di solito si siede sempre da soli in tavoli separati. Conosciuto belle persone e formato amicizie. Purtroppo io devo fare fede a mia moglie perché non parlo bene l'inglese. Quattro giorni interessanti e tranquilli. Il mare è veramente un acquario non c'è bisogno di spostarsi tanto per vedere tanti pesci di diversa varietà. La notte è molto umido quello si ma si è veramente in mezzo al nulla. La spiaggia non molto adatta ai bambini perché ricca di coralli.

Abbiamo passato qui una settimana prima di proseguire verso nord. È stata una bellissima settimana grazie a tutto lo staff di Harmony bay. Il cibo era molto buono e vario, anche soprattutto rispetto a quello che abbiamo sentito degli altri resort. Le merende erano una delizia!! Inoltre ci è piaciuto anche che si mangiasse tutti insieme alla stessa ora, è un modo carinissimo per conoscersi e magari finire a giocare a carte insieme :) Le isole togean sono più spartane rispetto ad altre isole turistiche indonesiane; la corrente c’è dalle 18 alle 22.30, non c’è acqua calda e connessione internet. Ma onestamente nessuno di questi è stato mai percepito come un problema. Inoltre c’è anche il beach volley, i kayak e soprattutto uscite per immersioni e snorkelling. Israt è un dive master (presto istruttore) impeccabile, ci ha dato qualche consiglio per migliorare e durante le immersioni eravamo sempre pochi, quindi molto seguiti!! La barriera corallina di fronte all’hotel è bellissima, anche con la bassa marea si raggiunge in 10 metri. Consiglio il bungalow più “lussuoso” per l’affaccio sul mare e le amache sul balcone (che ci sono anche in quello meno lussuoso). Il clima è davvero familiare, ci è dispiaciuto un sacco andare via, il personale è tutto incredibilmente gentile, sorridente, simpatico! Ci hanno anche aiutato con gli spostamenti successivi. Spesso giocavamo insieme a beach volley o a carte. L’aria che si respirava era davvero rilassata.

Harmony Bay liegt ca. 20 Minuten vom Fähranleger in Wakai entfernt auf der Insel Kadidiri. Das Resort liegt geschützt in einer Bucht, so dass man auch bei starkem Wellengang entspannt schnorcheln kann. Vier der sieben Bungalows haben direkte Strandlage, so dass man das Meer und den Sonnenuntergang von der Terrasse aus genießen kann. Diese Bungalows verfügen jeweils über zwei Hängematten, so dass kein Streit aufkam, wer sie benutzen darf. Die Angestellten waren der Hammer....super leckeres frisches Essen, gleich dreimal am Tag, immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen und auch die Anlage wurde von ihnen top in Schuss gehalten. Die Ausflüge zum Jellyfish Lake und zu den Riffs, als auch die Tauchgänge mit Meikel waren unvergesslich. Wir werden ganz sicher wiederkommen! Terima kasih!

That first view at Harmony Bay when you cross the corner with the boat ❤️. This is paradise. We stayed 3 nights at the cabin close to the beach (recommended!). The hospitality of the whole team is warm and family-like. The food is just amazing. There is no warm water, no mobile or wifi connection and electricity runs from 6pm to 10pm. There is a big table for breakfast, lunch, dinner - ideal to share travel experiences with the other guests. The resort also has a diving center. We had a really great dive master on our trips, fluent in English and showing us all the underwater beauties. And the jelly-fish lake is closeby! Ideal for a 3-5 nights stay. Don’t hesitate, this is a jewel in Togean Islands
