Maluku Divers' Resort Accommodation

September 2007 saw the first lucky divers reside in the newly refurbished Maluku Divers Resort Accommodation, situated in a quiet waterfront resort two hundred yards from the dive centre facility. The new, twin or double rooms are all en-suite, with new air conditioning units, hot water showers and brand new, thick comfortable beds, custom made to order and shipped across from Bali.

Nestled in two hectares of ocean front land, the quiet resort offers the most comfortable accommodations to be found in Ambon. With balconies with direct ocean views, it's a perfect place for quiet contemplation and relaxation between dives. The resort offers the opportunity for both privacy and a communal atmosphere, with the large restaurant and editing area, a pretty beach and seating areas scattered along the sheltered palm encrusted coastline.

Divers are chauffeured between the resort and the dive centre, using traditional becak transport, similar to Thai rickshaws, a pretty ride through the quiet village where the dive centre is situated.

The open air restaurant also houses an editing area, with ample bench space for divers to dismantle equipment and prepare for the macro or wideangle dives of the following day.

As with the backpacker dive centre rooms, the Maluku Divers Resort Accommodation packages come with full board, the menu courtesy of the local chef, who prepares a delightful array of Indonesian style dishes, as well as the occasional bbq, with fresh tuna, mackerel or snapper purchased that morning from local fishermen. Trade mark local snacks and local delicacies ensure that all divers enjoy a healthy, nutrious diet for the length of their stay.

Soft drinks and the occasional cold Bintang can be purchased from the Maluku Divers office.

With the development of this comfortable accommodation, Maluku Divers have developed the first waterfront accommodation with private bathrooms on Ambon island, further pushing the opportunities for a more discerning diver to visit and enjoy the spectacular diving of Maluku.
