Metita Resort is the best place to stay Malaku for visitors seeking exceptional diving off the coast of this corner of Indonesia. While exploring eastern Indonesia, a region famed for its natural beauty both on land and sea, why not pair your trip to Malaku with a visit to the Spice Islands (Banda) and the incredible Raja Ampat, you are truly spoilt in this part of Indonesia for natural beauty and wildlife, and the best way to discover the region is through a travel itinerary designed by the Asia experts, Secret Retreats, just for you. A short boat ride from the beach in front of Metita Dive Resort is the edge of the coral reef, where sandy plateaus are patrolled by schools of sharks, and divers are free to explore the reef and its incredible variety of colorful marine life. Because of its important role in World War II, Morotai Island is surrounded by the wrecks of airplanes and ships scuttled by the Allies at the end of the hostilities that today provide incredible wreck diving opportunities. Metita Beach & Dive Resort has a fully equipped dive center, including an air-conditioned camera room where photographers are given access to individual camera stations. The gently sloping reef plateau is ideal for snorkelers who want to see and enjoy the vibrant coral and see the fish, big and small, that visit the reef including tuna, humphead parrotfish, and blacktip reef sharks. A visit to the Metita Resort Spa Pavilion after a morning or afternoon above or below the water is a great way to rejuvenate. Enjoy a massage with organic oils from one of the Metita Beach Resort’s trained therapists and relax to the sounds of the forest with a refreshing cup of ginger tea. Guests looking for adventure above the waves are welcome to take a 10-minute boat ride to Morotai Island to explore pristine forests, secret caves and waterfalls, and to enjoy seeing flocks of brightly colored birds of paradise. Morotai’s history includes its role during the war and its position on the maritime Silk Route where spices were traded. The island is also crammed with history and artefacts from the Second World War. Return to Metita Beach and Dive Resort for a freshly prepared sundowner before joining other guests in the Metita Resort Restaurant and Lounge for a delicious meal created from the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
