“16 days rest & nice company”
Beautiful, peaceful & comfortable location, kind & helpful staff and good meals. Great place to just hang around and charge your battery. If you want, there are plenty of possibilities to make trips in the neighbourhood: nature, birding, snorkelling, diving, nearby village. The assistance is excellent. Just ask.

It is located in one of the most beautiful places, adjacent to one of the top diving locations in the world. The jungle, trees, plants and volcanoes add to the beauty.

“Outstanding experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
Walindi Plantation Resort is situated in a diver's paradise and is a beautifully designed, built and maintained facility. The staff are first rate and the package deals are excellent value. Great for families, couples or singles alike, there is a heap to do for everyone and you will not be disappointed with what is on offer. We hiked to see historical WWII relics, dove on beautiful reef teeming with aquatic life and hiked up a volcano which was hard work, but completely worth the experience. Diving on a largely intact WWII Zero fighter was an experience of a lifetime for a my husband. If you are not a diver, there is excellent snorkeling on offer with access to shallow reefs (our 5 year old daughter fell in love with snorkeling here). Free kayaking, off the resorts own beach, a games room and free Wi-Fi are other amenities which might tickle the fancy.
