Experience Beautiful Nature, Privacy & Comfortable Living at Divers Lodge Lembeh Resort
Divers Lodge Lembeh is surrounded by 16 hectares of tropical nature reserve and only 1 hectare of it, is used by the resort itself. The resort is a true butterfly paradise and over the years more and more birds made it their home. Tarsier Spectrum (very small primates), Civets and Monitor lizards are permanent residents here.

Reforestation
We started building Divers Lodge Lembeh in 2002. Very soon we were able to start planting trees at this peninsula. Earlier people tried to make gardens here by the traditional slash and burn method. However the soil was not good for growing much more than some coconut palms.
At the left, the situation when we came here. The right image shows how it looks now. Unfortunately the location of the resort was not visible yet in the data of 2002. That part was completely barren when we started. But it shows on the recent image.

Sampai jumpa (see you soon)!
We regret to inform you that we had no other option but to close our Weda Resort at Halmahera. The impact on nature from exponentially growing industrial activities has made Eco-tourism in the area unfeasible for the time being. However, our foundation will continue its educational initiatives and kindergarten programs. If you stay with us, you directly contribute to our education and conservation projects.
