Yenatar Resort Raja Ampat
Yenatar Resort sits on a quiet stretch of Raja Ampat, with a lagoon in front, reef within swimming distance and beaches you will have to yourself. It is built for people who want the diving without the crowd.
Accommodation
Yenatar Resort features a collection of overwater villas and beachfront bungalows, each thoughtfully designed with Papuan-inspired architecture and modern comfort.
- Overwater Villas: wide decks over the lagoon, a ladder straight down into the water, king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms and open ocean views.
- Beachfront Bungalows: on the sand, facing either the sunrise or the sunset, with nothing between you and the water.
Note: All prices are per person per night & subject to 10% government tax
Dining
The open-air restaurant serves seafood landed that day, Papuan cooking and international dishes. The menu changes daily around what is available locally. Guests can enjoy romantic private dinners on the jetty or sandbank.
