Our Neighbour Village

Feel free to take a short walk along the beach and visit our shy but lovely neighbours. You might even recognize one face or the other, as many of the villagers work for our resort.
Arborek Village
The village of Arborek is fast rising as a pioneer among the 18 beautiful villages in West Papua that have embarked on developing local regulations for community-based marine conservation, For this, the village of Arborek has gained an outstanding reputation among both the local authority and international community. With the assistance of the national and local government, from research centers, and non-government organizations, the local people have succeeded in formulating local regulations, naming their conservation region the Mambarayup and Indip.
On our daily diving we frequently visit Arborek and spend our surface interval there. After having enjoyed the lush marine life in front of Arborek’s jetty on a dive or while snorkeling, you should definitely take a stroll in this beautiful village.
