Alor Tanapi

Alor Tanapi Dive Resort is located in Sebanjar, West Alor, on the Bird’s Head Peninsula, North of Alor Kecil. The position gives easy access to a long list of dive sites. Alor is one of the strongest dive destinations in eastern Indonesia.

The Resort

The resort has 3 rooms, each with an ocean view, a desk, a wardrobe, a large balcony and Western-style fittings.

Meals are cooked fresh and draw on local Alor cooking.

As a founding member of Aliansi Bahari Alor, a marine association dedicated to promoting sustainable marine tourism, the resort actively contributes to the preservation of the Alor Marine Protected Area. One of the notable initiatives is the focus on minimizing non-organic waste.

The alliance brings together organisations and individuals working towards a sustainable model for marine tourism. Alor Tanapi and its partners work to protect the reefs the whole business depends on.
