DestinationsA hidden paradise of romance, mystic and excitement – that’s what one finds pervading throughout Kima Bajo Resort & Spa, a small luxurious boutique resort located in Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Pool at Kima Bajo Resort
The tranquil resort with its unique roofs of interwoven dried nibong leaves nestles on Wori Bay within the undulating grounds of a coconut plantation, offers both elegantly-designed villa-style accommodation with private outdoor showers and sunken-bath with balcony, as well as spacious “long-house” suites with stunning views of the sea with our very own private small beach cove within a bay of volcanic therapeutic black sand or lush, exotic tropical landscaped gardens of beautiful plants and flowers.
This tropical setting will allow our guests not only to enjoy the awesome dive experience, but also to be immersed totally with nature whilst experiencing some of the most breathtaking sunsets over the Sea of Sulawesi towards the Bunaken Island – an exhilarating experience that one can only describe as exquisitely beautiful and exotic.
The Nibong Restaurant & Bar, which is named after a local palm tree the nibong, a plant unique to this part of Indonesia, churns up a sumptuous selection of menus, from local Manadonese and well-known Indonesian fare to the best of international cuisines.

Diving with Eco Divers
North Sulawesi is home to countless colourful and rare marine creatures. Visit over 140 uncrowded sites teeming with more than 1000 marine species, dive in warm waters on precipitous walls, explore the best muck diving in the world and discover a huge variety of camouflaged critters.
Jim & Cary Yanny operate successful dive centres at Tasik Ria Resort and Kungkungan Bay Resort and are more than ably assisted by a dedicated, professional, multilingual team. With more than 30 years of diving experience between them, Jim and Cary are also co-owners of award-winning Emperor Divers in the Red Sea. Cary was the Executive Director of Hurghada Environmental Protection & Conservation (HEPCA), which still operates to ensure Red Sea environmental awareness.
“We aim to provide the best quality service possible so that people can enjoy this very special underwater world, whilst always making sure that divers are happy, safe and environmentally aware,” says Jim.
Eco Divers is a PADI 5 Star Gold Palm IDC Resort. Our top-quality service focuses on personal attention, safety, comfort and environmental responsibility. We understand that diving is your holiday as well as your hobby, so we aim to take care of ALL arrangements from the moment you land to the moment you leave – so you can just relax! But, even more than that, we also enjoy life and sharing some special moments with our guests. We love what we do and we hope you will come and share in our special atmosphere!
We have been diving Bunaken National Park since 2001, operating out of Tasik Ria Resort in Manado. In 2004 we added a new base at Kungkungan Bay Resort, allowing us to offer diving in the Lembeh Strait. By having dive centres in both Manado and Lembeh, we are able to provide our guests with the chance to dive two completely different, and equally wonderful, environments; the dramatic and beautiful drop-offs of Bunaken and the fascinating, critter-rich volcanic sands of Lembeh. Each resort is upscale, in an exotic location and offering clean, comfortable accommodation, good food, friendly staff and many facilities to spoil you on your holiday. Come and experience this fantastic diving combination – it is unbeatable!
Mayana Spa
Mayana Spa, perched in a garden setting with lily ponds and cascades of flowing waters, pampers our guests with the most relaxing array of spa treatments derived from a fusion of Indonesian herbs and conventional aromatherapy essential oils – rejuvenate and soothe one-self whilst watching dragonflies fleet from one lily to the next.
Other Activities
Whilst staying with us at KIMA BAJO Resort & Spa one can also explore North Sulawesi’s breathtaking natural beauty from soaking up the exotic atmosphere of the lively market towns, the lush paddy fields and cascading waterfalls surrounding Lake Tondano to adventure with the thrill of river-gorged white water rafting, hiking, horse-riding or trekking in the rainforest of Tangkoko Nature Reserve where exotic birds, monkeys and the world’s smallest primate, the Tarsius Spectrum resides or then again, one could just relax with a local coffee and a slice of delicious coconut pie at the highland flower city of Tomohon whilst having a friendly chat.
