overview
Mimpi Resort Tulamben is a dive resort on Bali's far north-east coast, with direct access to Tulamben Beach, the shore entry for the USAT Liberty wreck, one of the most dived sites in Indonesia and the reason most guests are here. The wreck lies close in and can be reached by walking off the beach, a rare place where serious diving needs no boat.
The resort is compact and low-key: a year-round outdoor pool, sun terrace, gardens, and a spa with open-air baths fed by natural springs. The restaurant serves Asian dishes, and breakfast is unusually accommodating, continental, American, buffet, or à la carte, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Tulamben is about a three-hour drive from the airport, and the surrounding village is very quiet.

our review
You can walk to the wreck. The USAT Liberty lies close enough to shore at Tulamben that serious diving here needs no boat, and that is rare enough to organise an entire trip around.
The resort has direct beach access and is compact and low-key by design: a year-round pool, a sun terrace and a natural-spring spa, with vegan and gluten-free options at breakfast. The 8.8 from 313 guests is solid for a dive resort, where expectations tend to sit on the water rather than the room. It is about three hours from the airport. If you do not dive or snorkel, we would not send you here at all.
