About

About Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh

Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh is a serene tropical retreat, perfect for escaping into your own world of diving and relaxation. Located in the middle of the island, this resort sits in a quiet cove surrounded by palm trees, creating the ideal environment for recharging your batteries. This superb location also provides instant access to the amazing muck diving of the Lembeh Strait, with the most sought after dive sites no more than 15 minutes away by boat.

The first Thalassa Dive Centre opened in North Sulawesi more than two decades ago, eventually growing into the Thalassa Dive and Wellbeing Resort Manado in 2013. Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh is the latest offering from Thalassa, and guests can benefit from the owner’s extensive experience in North Sulawesi - bringing the strait’s many delights right to the doorstep. Adventurous guests can also combine both resorts into a single trip, transferring from one to the other within an hour to explore everything this diverse part of Indonesia has to offer.

Explore the resort

Accommodation at Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh comes in the form of twin or double bed bungalows, and slightly smaller single deluxe rooms for solo travellers. All rooms are air-conditioned and offer tranquil sea views from the terrace, providing a cosy place to retreat to after each exciting adventure. Once the day’s diving is done, guests can hang-out beside the pool with a cocktail or other refreshing beverage and simply soak in the spectacular ocean view. And, once evening descends, the resort’s revamped restaurant and cafe offer traditional Indonesian dishes and tasty oven-baked pizzas made in-house by talented chefs.

Additional facilities such as free Wi-Fi, an onsite gift shop and a library of games and books ensure guests can make the most of every minute here. And, Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh can easily arrange excursions to the Sulawesi mainland such as visits to local villages, and treks through the Tangkoko jungle in search of black macaques, cuscus, and the world’s smallest primates, tarsiers.

Diving from Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh

Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh offers a valet-style diving service, ensuring your gear is brought to the boat and set up for you before each dive. The guides and crew are adept at working with all sorts of divers, including young children, recreational divers, pro photographers, and wheelchair users. Their reputation for being patient, calm, and taking zero safety shortcuts has helped earn this resort PADI 5-Star dive centre status, meaning any course taken here provides a strong foundation for future underwater adventures.

The dive centre comes fully-stocked with wetsuits, BCD's, masks, fins and snorkels suitable for all sizes, while the shaded boats come with emergency oxygen, first aid kits, safe tank storage, and rinse tanks for cameras and computers. Up to three dives are offered each day, as well as a night dive, and tea, coffee, water and snacks are offered during every trip. Guests can choose between 12 and 15-litre tanks with DIN or Int connections and nitrox can be provided depending on availability. An air-conditioned camera room equipped with charging stations and workbenches provides a space for guests to work on their photography equipment between dives.


Top tips

  • This resort offers a babysitting service so that parents can enjoy a dive knowing that their child is 100% safe.
  • Combine your trip to Thalassa Dive Resort Lembeh with a stay at its sister resort in Manado to experience the very best of North Sulawesi.

Conservation

As a PADI AWARE resort, education is one of Thalassa Dive Resort’s core values. The resort has played an active part in the creation of a new school in a nearby village which helps children start a career as dive guides or hospitality staff. Together with the Kehidupan Anda Foundation in the Netherlands, Thalassa sponsors a large part of the diving school in particular, which has become quite successful. Guests are invited to visit the school as one of their excursions, offering a glance into the daily village life of North Sulawesi school kids. Thalassa Dive Resort also organises beach clean-ups and marine lectures to help guests and staff get involved in ‘giving back’.
