Sorido Bay Resort

Raja Ampat Islands


Sorido offers top diving standards along with Western-style comforts, such as air-con, camera workstations and hot showers in spacious, well-equipped beachfront bungalows. The tucked-away location fronting a divine beach is superb, and the operators are good stewards of the environment.

Owner Max Ammer pioneered diving in Raja Ampat after he stumbled upon the potential while searching the area for crashed WWII aircraft. From that you will probably quite rightly deduce that he’s a real character who’ll add much to your stay.

At research time he was looking to purchase the resort's first solar-powered dive boat (and later, a whole fleet of these). He was also negotiating with village elders on Kri to lease more land and keep it pristine, preventing more homestays from popping up.
