Peaceful. Secluded. Natural. A stay at Murex Manado is like an escape into the jungle. Tall trees cascade over a variety of wild flowers and Koi ponds, and the only sound is that of a babbling brook heading out to the ocean. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a welcome drink from a coconut. It’s easy to settle right in.
Located approximately 30 minutes from downtown, Murex Manado is close to some of North Sulawesi’s best scuba diving. A short boat ride lands you at Bunaken National Park for excellent wall diving and lots of turtles. Guests can also search for macro critters in several spots including the black sand beach out front (house reef). But wait – Murex Manado offers guests PADI and SSI dive instruction, plus the unique opportunity to travel between resorts: Murex Bangka for great reefs and soft corals, and Critters@Lembeh (Lembeh Resort) for arguably the best macro diving in the world. This resort tour, plus exotic land excursions, provides guests a custom and complete North Sulawesi dive travel experience.
