Coral Eye
Coral Eye is a small, friendly lodge on Bangka Island in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Originally founded as an outpost for marine studies, it has evolved into a welcoming hub for passionate travellers, dive enthusiasts, underwater photographers, and marine biologists. Today, it offers relaxed accommodation right by the beach, with good food, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful atmosphere.
It’s a great base for diving and snorkelling, with easy access to colourful reefs and daily guided boat trips. Even if you’re not diving, the setting is ideal for unwinding—complete with hammocks and quiet spots to soak in the views and sea breeze.
Facilities
Restaurant with large communal table or private seating, bar, spa, diving centre, jetty (providing access to a house reef).
Accommodation options include: Superior Room, Beach Villa, Garden Villa and Double Garden Villa.
Optional Activities
Diving and snorkelling on boat excursions; diving and snorkelling on the house reef; kayaking; stand-up paddleboarding.

Area Specialist
Diving at Coral Eye is possible year-round, but for the best conditions, plan your trip between April and November. Expect warm waters around 28–30°C and excellent visibility up to 30 metres in summer — though winter rains and waves can reduce clarity.

It was tiring, but we had a fantastic time and the holiday was up there with the best of them! The boats in particular were brilliant ways to travel, and it was great that each place we visited had something different to offer. The people were so lovely, and the food was great. In fact, it’s one of the few places that we’ve been to over the last few years that I really feel I’d like to revisit.
