Sangalaki is truly a conservation island and as such all of the buildings at Sangalaki Dive Lodge are in keeping with this philosophy; simple and unobtrusive. 24 hour power is available on demand, but we prefer not to over-pollute the atmosphere with our generators unless specifically requested. Fresh water on the island is in limited supply. We will therefore ask for your understanding and consideration for water conservation. Less than 3% of Sangalaki Island has been built on, leaving the tropical rainforest to its’ natural inhabitants and visiting guests.
The dining hall houses the eating and relaxing areas, bar, sun terrace, dive boutique and TV/reading room. Our Chef is Angora, an Indonesian National who has extensive experience of working throughout Europe. His dishes can therefore be tailor-made to your personal taste buds! However, the meals are adequate and simple, so please don’t expect 5-star cuisine.
Scattered along the beach are 10 attractive individual sea view beach chalets. They are spacious and separated from each other by a comfortable distance for privacy. Each attractively decorated chalet is built on stilts about 3 ft. (1M) above the sand to allow passage for the turtles that nest on the beach every night. There are 4 ‘Euro’ chalets with air-conditioning and 6 ‘Borneo’ chalets with fan only, each with their own verandas, twin/double beds, and a private bathroom with hot water showers.
The island of Sangalaki and its’ surrounding reefs are protected as an Indonesian Marine Park. Without the destructive effects of explosives and cyanide fishing, Sangalaki has remained a pristine example of an untouched tropical marine ecosystem. In a world where every resort claims to be situated in a "diver’s paradise", Sangalaki truly deserves the honor.
Sangalaki is the prime nesting site for green sea turtles in South East Asia and home to exotic marine life that you've probably only seen in National Geographic. You'll see cuttlefish, blue ribbon eels, frogfish, turtles, manta rays, sharks, dozens of species of nudibranchs, hundreds of species of hard and soft corals, schools of brightly colored fusaliers and zillions of colorful reef fishes.
At the dive center there are rinse tanks for gear, one exclusively for Camera/Video equipment and an outside drying area.
