We stayed in Sorido Bay for a week and the diving fulfilled and exceeded our expectations – it was just amazing. But in addition to great diving the resort is located in a beautiful bay, villas are only a few steps from crystal clear ocean yet still very comfortable and offering any service needed to make the stay enjoyable, food was good, company of staff and other travelers was great and overall everything was handled with effortless efficiency that allowed us to really enjoy our stay in this incredible place. We also appreciated their effort in finding the right balance between tourism, nature conservation and integration with local community. A truly great experience and we are looking forward to visiting again.

Sorido Bay Resort is truly one of my favourite places in the world. This was our second visit (in January), and just like the first time, it was an absolutely magical experience. The diving is simply incredible — from vibrant reefs to insane manta dives (Blue Magic anyone?) to unforgettable black water dives (a must-try!). Beyond the underwater magic, what makes this place so special is the heart behind it. The team’s commitment to employing Papuans, supporting local communities, and conservation efforts makes every stay feel meaningful. The founder actually discovered the key dive sites, and the team continues to work really hard to try to protect the sites and preserve the reefs. Despite how remote it is, everything runs seamlessly. The rooms are always spotless, the food is consistently delicious, and the overall vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and joyful. Bonus points to everyone who made me feel extra special on my birthday — it meant so much!

Just finished a 10 day stay at Sorido Bay Resort in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Absolutely first rate. Gorgeous setting. Air-conditioned Santani bungalows are luxurious, right on the beach. Staff are incredible, attending to the guests' every whim, a level of service found in very few places. The founder/owner Max is very interesting and accomplished, the manager Jaap and head of dive operations Oscar are both superb. Best SCUBA diving on the planet, and off-island jungle excursions are awesome. A-plus experience
