Walindi Plantation Resort

Beach and Island Escapes
Coast and Islands, Papua New Guinea

Walindi Plantation Resort nestles on the shores of Kimbe Bay just metres from the ocean. The owners of this welcoming resort have been introducing visitors to the regions world-class diving for over 25 years.

Twelve detached, thatched bungalows are scattered amidst the rainforest gardens along the small black sand beach. Eight smaller plantation house rooms are set slightly back and have shared verandas. The open-air restaurant, bar and deck make the most of the sea views and the small pool is a lovely spot to read a book.

The family who run Walindi are excellent hosts and the dive set up is extremely professional.
