About Tufi Resort
Tufi Resort is situated within its namesake town at the tip of Cape Nelson – an area of exceptional natural beauty. The cape itself is located in Oro Province, on Papua New Guinea’s northern coast, approximately 250-kilometres due east of Port Moresby. Tufi resort has been in operation for over 30 years and has established an international reputation as a premier dive getaway. Not only is it one of the only resorts in this remote region, it also comes well-equipped to help guests create unforgettable memories both above and below the water.
Nestled atop a breath-taking fjord, this beautiful boutique resort is a true hidden oasis, offering 180º panoramic views of the sea, rainforest, and mountains. Accommodation at the resort ranges from standard rooms to deluxe bungalows, all of which feature polished timber floors, ensuite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and an array of additional creature comforts. Or, for an authentic and highly immersive experience, guests can also opt to spend their nights in a local village guesthouse.
