Siladen Resort & Spa - Bunaken

Boutique dive resort inside Bunaken National Marine Park on a private 2000 ft white sand beach

Diving & Marine Experiences

Siladen Resort & Spa operates a PADI 5-star dive center with a professional team that sets up, cleans, and dries all gear daily. Guests dive with a dedicated guide-often one guide per two divers-who uses underwater whiteboards and points out critters like nudibranchs, orangutan crabs, and seahorses. The resort offers blackwater night dives, trips to Bangka Island, and a dedicated camera room for underwater photographers, with rentals including Olympus cameras and lights.

Accommodations

The resort's beachfront villas sit 66 ft from the sea and include a private terrace, hammock, and semi-open bathrooms with rain showers. Luxury Villa Beach Front units feature a plunge pool, bean bags, and a double daybed with canopy and mosquito net. Two-bedroom family villas offer a shared living room, balcony, direct beach access, and space for up to four guests.

Dining

Beringin Tree Restaurant serves Indonesian, Asian fusion, Italian, and international cuisines, with meals often presented as buffets or a la carte on the beach under the trees. Guests can book a private five-course romantic dinner on the sand, prepared by the chef and served by name-calling staff. The bar offers cocktails, and there is a station with tea, coffee, fruit, and cakes available throughout the day.

Wellness & Activities

The on-site spa provides traditional Indonesian and Balinese massages, facials, and pedicures in a tranquil garden setting. Twice-weekly yoga classes are held in the tree house lounge overlooking the ocean, and weekly marine presentations cover topics like nudibranchs and turtle conservation. The resort also has an outdoor saltwater pool with a waterfall, a sunbathing area with loungers, and free kayaks and paddleboards for guests.
