Matahari Tulamben: Dive into Paradise
Nestled along the tranquil shores of Tulamben, a serene village on Bali's northeastern coast, Matahari Tulamben invites you to embark on an extraordinary underwater adventure. Perched at the edge of the mesmerizing Lombok Strait, our resort is more than just a gateway to Bali's underwater wonders; it's a world of awe-inspiring marine life, dramatic shipwrecks, and unforgettable moments waiting to be discovered.
Balinese-Owned with Budget-Friendly
Dive enthusiasts, brace yourselves for an underwater realm like no other. In the crystalline waters of Tulamben, encounters with majestic mola-mola sunfish, elusive hammerhead sharks, and gentle giants like whale sharks are not uncommon. This aquatic biodiversity, combined with Tulamben's unique location, has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the world's premier dive destinations.
A Historic Charm
Adding to the allure of our village is the legendary USAT Liberty wreck, resting gracefully beneath the waves since the eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963. This sunken treasure is not just a testament to history but also an open invitation to explore the mysteries of the deep just steps away from your doorstep.
Macro Paradise Awaits
Underwater photographers and fin aficionados, rejoice! Tulamben is celebrated as a haven for macro photography, a realm where the tiniest marine wonders become the stars of your lens. Amidst vibrant corals and thriving marine life, every dive becomes a captivating photo opportunity.
Suci Place – An Artistic Dive
In 2012, our very own Matahari Tulamben Dive Center embarked on a unique project named “Suci Place.” This artistic endeavor, set just before the resort, showcases an array of captivating underwater artifacts that elevate your diving experience to an entirely new level. Stay tuned as this project continues to unveil more hidden treasures beneath the waves.

Easily accessible by boat or car, these sites promise more underwater adventures to complement your stay with us.
At Matahari Tulamben, we invite you to submerge yourself in the extraordinary, where every dive is a journey, and every moment is a memory. Come, let the underwater world of Tulamben captivate your senses, and let our resort be your gateway to this aquatic paradise.
