Located on a volcanic bluff overlooking the clear protected waters of Milne Bay and accessible only by boat, Tawali Resort offers travelers a unique location to relax and enjoy the wonders of the South Pacific.

Tawali, which in the local language means "reef" is aptly named as it sits atop a beautiful reef teaming with life. Come explore the abundant marine life, or kayak the tropical coast dotted with villages. Learn about the flora and fauna of New Guinea with guided hikes to skull caves and waterfalls. Or just relax on Tawali`s spacious observation deck nestled in the thick jungle foliage 120 feet above a beautiful coral reef. Research and read in the library which houses hundreds of books on marine life, birds and rainforests. Learn what it really means to step back in time where the worries of the world fade and the magic of nature unfolds.

Tawali is a unique resort built entirely by the local population with no use of power tools with all carvings and woodwork done entirely by hand. Covered walkways lead away from the main building and observation deck to guest bungalows which are all deluxe accommodations. The five guest buildings are set around the top of a bluff overlooking the bay and forests. Each building houses two rooms or bungalows and even though the rooms share a common wall all bungalows are completely private even on the individual balconies.

Bungalows are very roomy with a lot of attention to detail in woodwork, including a rosewood desk area and closets. All bungalows have individual solar powered hot water and are air conditioned with beautiful bathrooms and private decks. At the most Tawali will accommodate twenty divers with ease, which makes your vacation a very intimate experience.
