Discover the New Kebar Villas & Kumawa Bungalow at Sorido Bay Resort

The Kebar Villas are our newest beachfront rooms. They give you the same direct ocean access as every other bungalow at the resort, but they're specially designed for two people who want extra privacy and a quiet spot right by the water.

Each villa gives you 120 square metres of room and a private 40 square metre front terrace, along with a king bed and traditional Papuan-style architecture throughout.

Step onto your terrace and the beach and house reef are right there. The extra space is built for slowing down between dives: room to spread out gear, relax after a day on the water, or watch the water without leaving your terrace. 

With only two Kebar Villas available, this is a quiet, spacious way for couples to spend their days on Kri Island. 

The Kumawa Bungalow was previously one of the Kaimana Bungalows, now fully refreshed and renamed. It gives you an 85 square metre room, a 25 square metre front terrace, and a 19 square metre outdoor shower, with space for up to three people.

Its outdoor shower connects directly to the indoor bathroom, a detail that makes rinsing off after swimming, snorkelling, diving, or a beach walk far more convenient, open to the sky above you. Right now, the Kumawa Bungalow is the only room at Sorido Bay Resort with this feature.

Both the Kebar Villas and the Kumawa Bungalow are built in traditional Papuan architectural style, using techniques and materials consistent with the rest of Sorido Bay Resort. Each accommodation is paired with a wastewater garden, where bathroom wastewater is processed responsibly before it reaches the surrounding house reef.

This is not new for us. Young zebra sharks raised at the Raja Ampat Research & Conservation Centre we run on-site, grow here before they are released back into the wild: one small way we help restore shark populations across the Indo-Pacific. Every stay in the Kebar Villas or the Kumawa Bungalow helps fund that work, alongside our PADI Eco Center and Green Fins certification. The reef right outside carries a little more life because of it.

Both the Kebar Villas and the Kumawa Bungalow are complete and available now. You'll find them listed on the Sorido Bay Resort accommodation and rates pages alongside our other bungalows.

With only two Kebar Villas available, planning ahead helps secure your preferred travel dates. Sorido Bay Resort continues to offer guided diving in small groups, PADI dive courses, and access to the Raja Ampat SEACAM Center, alongside these updated places to stay.

If you book a longer stay, you can also take advantage of our non-diving activities and amenities, from kayaking and paddleboarding to the on-site spa. Whichever room you choose, the Kebar Villas and Kumawa Bungalow both add more comfort to a stay at Sorido Bay Resort, without changing what makes it Raja Ampat: healthy reefs, traditional architecture, and easy access to reefs among the most biodiverse on Earth.
