On a coral-fringed headland overlooking Hoia Bay, this beautifully set resort, tucked away amid verdant greenery, lives and breathes diving. The views from the main building and rooms are exceptional. A series of covered boardwalks connects the 15 bungalows. Snorkelling, kayaking, birdwatching and visits to the nearby skull caves, waterfall and hot springs are all offered.
You can also visit Tawali as a day trip from Alotau (per person K120 return transport by minibus and boat; delicious lunch buffet K66).
