Nyande Raja Ampat

Our stay at Nyande Dive Resort was absolute perfection and exceeded all of our expectations. The bungalows are stunning and blend seamlessly into nature, with great snorkeling right at the end of the jetty. The level of comfort here is outstanding —having hot water, 24/7 electricity, and Wi-Fi available all day was a fantastic bonus! ​A massive thank you to Andy and Esni, as well as the entire staff, for being incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. The food was consistently delicious. As for the diving, it was top-tier: high-quality equipment and guides who know the sites inside out. They take safety seriously while keeping every dive fun and relaxed. ​We were genuinely sad to leave and are already hoping to come back one day. Cherry on top? There were puppies around during our stay!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Everything was perfect. Nyande is an excellent choice when staying in Raja Ampat. Our room sunrise/sunset and two rays came with a private bathroom and 24hr hot shower, even though you need to cross the jetty over the sand, the facilities were very clean, and the room was serviced daily. We spent 10 days and 9 nights here and almost didn’t want to leave. The resort runs its own dive center with well-maintained equipment. The dive masters and dive arrangements were incredibly thoughtful.

Amazing stay at Nyande. For such a remote place, the homestay is really well thought out, everything is comfortable and you never feel like you’re missing anything. The staff are lovely and the food is a quality you really don’t expect out there, excellent at every single meal. The activities are superb. The scenery is stunning and the marine life is just insane, every outing was mind-blowing. Esni and Andy organised everything perfectly from start to finish, nothing to complain about. The only thing I’d add is maybe offering some land-based activities too, like nature walks to go and spot the birds of paradise. That would round out the experience nicely. Other than that, I’d recommend it without hesitation.

Home reef is super beautiful, swim in it straight from your room. They did their best to cook without nuts/peanuts.

At breakfast, there was dog hair all over the floor. At night, you could hear and see the rats running around in your room. The food was not as good as at the other homestay.
