Weda Reef & Rainforest Resort
Halmahera, Indonesia
Lodge
Dive Resort
Weda Resort was in 2015 selected by Scuba Diver Australasia as one of the top sixteen Eco Resorts of their region. There are some must see endemic birds on this small island, such as Moluccan Cuckoo, Halmahera Flowerpecker and Halmahera Boobook.
Our environmentally friendly technologies include:
Solar water heaters, providing hot showers in the resort
Ultra low emission outboard engines for the dive boats
Solar power and batteries, which provide much of our 24-hour electricity
Wind turbine for top-up electricity
Making drinking water with filters and UV technology
Sagu (starch extracted from the pith of Sago palm stems) is a major staple food for the people of Halmahera; we built all six bungalows from the leftovers of the palm trees:
The roofs are made of dried pinnated Sago palm leafs, plaited by the local people
Dried sago palm ribs (gaba-gaba) form the walls
Together with the tiled floors the bungalows offer a perfect blend of traditional techniques and modern comfort, cool houses even during hot tropical afternoons. For your comfort we also installed ceiling fans, for some extra breeze.
