Metita Beach & Dive Resort

What Metita Beach & Dive Resort does

Metita Beach & Dive Resort is a boutique eco-dive resort located on Metita Island, just off the southern tip of Morotai Island in North Halmahera, Indonesia. The resort operates air-conditioned beach and garden family cottages built with local materials, alongside a saltwater swimming pool, restaurant and lounge, boutique, and massage services. Its core commercial offering centres on diving through Gangga Divers, which operates the only PADI 5 Star Dive Centre in the Morotai/Halmahera region, providing daily dive excursions, full PADI certification courses, equipment rental, and two purpose-built dive boats accessing 70+ discovered sites within the Coral Triangle. Additional revenue streams include snorkeling activities, guided land tours (island hopping, waterfall hikes, WWII and cultural sites), food and beverage, and spa services.

The resort was constructed between 2020 and 2022 following the establishment of the Morotai Marine Park in June 2020, which protects the surrounding waters. The property is owned and operated under the Lotus Hotels & Resorts group, a 20+ year Indonesian hospitality operator managing dive resorts including Gangga Island, Papua Paradise, and Malaillo Liveaboard. Marketing relies on direct-to-consumer booking via the resort's website, TripAdvisor presence, expert endorsements from dive professionals, and trade show participation (BOOT Show 2022). Pricing is quote-based for accommodation, with published dive packages at €225 (5 dives) and €420 (10 dives), and equipment rental charged daily. The customer base comprises individual leisure travelers, dive enthusiasts, eco-tourists, families, and cultural/heritage travelers, distributed across global source markets with no single dominant customer segment.
