Sorido Bay Resort

Sorido Bay Resort in PapuaOur "Sorido Bay Resort" is newly built and and opened early November this year. The resort allows our guests to experience Western style comforts in a traditional Papuan setting. Located on a beautiful deep lagoon and white sand beach on Kri Island, the dive resort is central to the most spectacular dive sites in the Raja Ampat.

Our house reef is "Cape Kri" where Dr. G. Allen recorded 283 different species of fish during ONE dive. This made this not only the fish richest dive site known to science, but also the richest house reef anywhere!

The resort has been build to offer all western comforts combining modern and traditional Papuan building methods.

Sorido Bay Resort in PapuaWe have worked on finding a balance between traditional and modern, while always having in mind to create the ideal dive resort.

The resort has now ready: one main building with a lobby, office, restaurant, kitchen, storage rooms, library/computer-internet room/souvenir shop. We have also realized the first "Sentani" and "Kaimana" bungalows. The main building has a spacious dinning area with splendid view over the bay and in the attached library we supply internet access.

We plan to build nine bungalows in 3 models. These models are:
"Sentani" which is 65m2.
"Kaimana" which is 90m2.
"Wairundi" which is 84m2.

Each bungalow is decorated/furnished in a special Papuan style using museum quality artifacts. All luxury is available, Air-conditioning, hot showers, television, refrigerator etc.

All bungalows are spacious and build on the seashore, a guaranty for a stunning view over the bay area.

Great attention is given to the smallest detail. The resort is VERY photographer friendly. Each building has a 60 x 330 cm table especially for camera work with good light. The tables are supplied with 110V and 220V build-in electricity outlets.

The camera tables have each a build-in sink and running water.

The whole resort is build by divers for divers. On the jetty we have fresh water showers + a camera dedicated area (power 220V & 110V and running fresh water). Every bungalow has a back entrance with a back yard (privacy) with a place to hang wet suits and the like. Once inside on your left is a 3.3 meter camera - video gear table. Two steps further is a large bathroom area with all western comforts. This lay-out ensures the roomy bedrooms to stay sand free (specially your bed!!!). To reduce the sand problem and enable comfortable walking all resort buildings are connected by a 2 meter wide walkway which is lit by night.

The resort has 24h energy supply from 2 generator units, telephone and internet connection.

Sorido Bay Resort in PapuaNext to the resort we are building a Research and Conservation Center as PAPUA DIVING is committed to conservation and takes it seriously! Guest are welcome to visit the premises and will be informed about projects we are working on.

We also had part of our team landscaping the area, clearing underbrush, however maintaining most of the original trees and bushes. Because of this, the buildings are integrated in nature and partly hidden by lush vegetation. The area is literally carpeted with ground orchids and there are lots of birds (some even nesting!) within the resort grounds.

While we strived to create a resort that is second to none, one of the best facts remains that our house reef is "Cape Kri" where Dr. G. Allen set his 283 fish species on a single dive record in 2001. No other resort can beat that!!! Ever! Also several of our other TOP dive sites are just literally minutes away (Mike's Point 10 min, Chicken Reef 5 min, Sardines reef 8 min, etc.)

When staying with us you will have it all, beautiful top side location, unbeatable diving, TOP accommodation including a restaurant with a choice of 3 menu's daily.

The diving at Sorido bay resort is custom made. Our experience guides will taylor make each dive.
