Gangga Island Resort

The Gangga Island Resort and Spa is a great tropical beach resort located right onto the beach on the very tip of the Gangga Islands. Boasting palm shade before the beautiful lagoon of tropical flat blue and turquoise waters lapping gently onto the crystal white sands, the Gangga Island Resort and Spa is your luxury access to the very epitome of a tropical island holiday.  With only an hour journey from the international Airport in Manado followed by a short boat trip you will then find yourself in paradise in this boutique resort offering only 15 traditional bungalows with all of the modern luxuries despite their quaint traditional appearance of wood and bamboo.  With activities extending from the fruitful snorkeling in the nearby lagoons, to the use of the bars, pools and other facilities. There is plenty to do at the Gangga Island Resort and Spa before you even consider going on a trip or tour of the local area. The Gangga Island Resort and Spa offers the sort of simplistic tropical freedom that many places are now over commercializing, instead here you will find true sanctuary, a slow paced and relaxing holiday that is refreshing in every way.

The 15 bungalows are all fitted with air conditioning as well as hot and cold water and international satellite television. Indoors the décor is incredible with highly polished hardwoods and traditional fabrics used to create the luxury of a colonial hideaway with timeless class and modern features. You will also find a ceiling fan and tea and coffee making facilities as well as great bathrooms, which are en-suite to each room. The bungalows have two bedrooms each with large double beds and luxurious mosquito nettings and romantic lighting. This is the Minahasa style and you will see links to these concepts as you look around the rest of the islands and areas.

The Gangga Island Resort and Spa offers great dining with fantastic Asian dishes from Indonesia and the surrounding countries of Southeast Asia and the western and European dishes are also very popular and offer a great standard of service while you dine in the open gazebo enjoying views of the garden and the incredible coastline. The pool is superb, large and offers views looking out over the sea, its proximity to the sea can make it feel like a lagoon, which is part of the ocean due also to its shape.

Another excellent feature is the PADI registered dive centre offering course as well as guided dives around some of the world-class diving around the islands and in the Lembeh Strait. For this you can use the Gangga Island Resort and Spa dive safari boat where on an all-inclusive package including excellent food, drinks and all of the facilities required to enjoy the underwater delights close at hand. There is also a great spa, which is a great way to get out of the sun and enjoy indulging in pampering treatments of all kinds.
