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
Mimpi Resort Tulamben exists for one reason above all: shore access to the USAT Liberty wreck, one of the most dived sites in Indonesia, reachable by walking straight off the beach with no boat required. That single fact makes it a genuine pilgrimage spot for divers, not just another resort with a dive desk.
Away from the water, the resort keeps things simple and comfortable, a year-round pool, gardens, and a spa with open-air baths fed by the area's natural springs. Breakfast is unusually accommodating for this remote corner of Bali, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Tulamben itself is quiet and about a three-hour drive from the airport, so this is a trip built around diving, not sightseeing.
