Dive in crystal clear waters, relax on palm-fringed beaches, luxuriate in a bamboo-framed spa, watch the sunset behind spectacular mountain ranges and enjoy a complimentary bottle of bubbly, a special Valentine gift and a 90-minute massage with Dive Worldwide, which is offering couples a romantic 10-day Valentine’s break at Indonesia’s luxurious Kima Bajo Resort & Spa, North Sulawesi.

The small boutique resort of Kima Bajo located in North Sulawesi, is nestled amongst lush coconut palms and sandy beaches with a magnificent backdrop of volcanoes and teeming rainforests. Sulawesi offers year-round, world-class dive and snorkel experiences amongst a diverse range of land and sea formations, including the famous Lembeh Strait, host to myriad marine species.

Eco Divers, based at Kima Bajo Resort & Spa, is a PADI 5 Star Centre with traditionally designed, purpose built boats offering sundeck, camera rinse tanks, WC and shaded salon, escort divers to over 30 dive sites. The centre’s daily dive programme to the pristine reefs of Bunaken National Park allow for morning and afternoon dives - night dives, special trips to Lembeh Strait.

PADI courses can be arranged on request whilst non-divers can explore the cool mountain air of the surrounding Minahasa Highlands, hunt for souvenirs at Tomohon’s lively market or enjoy lunch at one of Lake Tondano’s restaurants.

For the more adventurous, try white-water rafting, horseriding and trekking in the rainforest of Tangkoko Nature Reserve, home to unique flora, birds and primates including Black Crested Macaques and the world's smallest monkey, Tarsius Spectrum. After a full day’s adventure - above and below sea level, retreat to the resort’s bamboo-framed Mayana Spa for a relaxing massage, before watching the sunset over the Sea of Sulawesi.
