Lumba-Lumba Resort is sitting on the white sandy Gapang Beach, named after Gapang trees found around the beach. The beach itself is quite popular with restaurants and shops built across the beach line. The resort specializes for divers who are looking to dive around Pulau Weh. There is a great house reef right around the corner of the resort as well as turtles near the bay area. This makes the resort a good choice for snorkeling or shore dives.
Pulau Weh might be less known than other popular diving destinations in Indonesia. Such as Komodo National Park, or Lembeh Straits as one of the best muck diving in the world. This makes Pulau Weh an off-beaten diving destination which means, less group of divers.
Pulau Weh’s diving season is practically all year round. The deep waters and currents around the island sustain an unbelievable amount and variety of marine life. Which is ranging from tiny critters to big fish.
The landscapes on all sites are magnificent and diverse. The average visibility is 20+ meters, and often more than 30 meters, especially when diving deep. The water temperature is usually 28-29 degrees Celsius, with clear visibility of over 40 meters from the depths of the open ocean around Weh.
On one average dive, you can easily log a dozen of moray eels (of five or more different species), beautiful sea fans, hunting trevallies, neon rivers of fusiliers, a couple of stingrays and maybe an octopus or two.
Depending on the location, time and current, it’s quite likely to add tuna, barracuda, sharks (white tip, black tip and occasionally a grey reef or hammerhead), big groupers and giant reef rays. Quite frequently we can also see devil or eagle rays! The most colorful nudibranches, ghost-pipe fishes, tiny seahorses and squat lobsters can be spotted when going ‘macro’.
The rooms at Lumba-Lumba Resort are built specially based on a diver’ needs. They have 7 duplex cottages (some with sea view) where it is easy to relax in the hammock in the afternoon after an amazing dive. The Living Room Cottages are designed with large space, and each duplex cottage has two units which can be connected with an open balcony. It is perfect for family traveling with kids since the resort can provide extra mattresses. The cozy Living Colours Rooms are in a longhouse higher up the hill, overlooking the garden and the beach. Two rooms are equipped with private bathroom and four with shared bathrooms for guests traveling on a budget.
The resort doesn’t own a restaurant since they are focusing their services towards diving experience and stay. However, you have many restaurant options found across the Gapang Beach. Feel free to consult for an option with the front desk.
