About Coral View

A dive resort in Bunaken Marine Park - North Sulawesi

a comfortable stay immersed in tranquility and peace

The Concept

Coral View was born in 2016 after an idea of Roberto and Amedeo, two Italian instructors who have long resided in Bunaken and have gathered a remarcable experience in hoteling, diving and teaching.

Still today, they own and manage since 2010 another dive resort on the island, the Raja Laut.

At Coral View our purpose is to offer the guests a comfortable stay immersed in tranquility and peace, to enjoy a place away from the chaos of the indigenous village and to take advantage of a unique and breathtaking view.

For this reason we have chosen a secluded place immersed in the lush jungle, overlooking the sea, with a wonderful swimming pool and only 4 bungalows for our customers, for a maximum occupancy of just 12 people, in order to guarantee privacy and intimacy.

The name of the resort comes after the spectacular panoramic view over the coral reef and the nearby Siladen island. The best view point in all Bunaken.
