The Story Behind Coral Eye

Four young marine biologists decided to pursue their dreams and passions and set up a marine outpost right in the heart of the Coral Triangle. When the project came to life in 2009, the original idea was to create a co-working outpost where universities and students could exchange ideas and develop their projects on tropical marine environments.
 
In 2013, following the construction of the diving center and lots of hard work, Coral Eye opened its doors to tourism as an alternative to mix science with passion and love for the sea. Through the new concept we were able to finance environmental projects, offer scholarships to students and better support local communities.

Beneath the roof of discovery

Marine Outpost

Set on the shores of Bangka Island, Coral Eye is a place to slow down, explore, and reconnect. Surrounded by vibrant reefs and untouched landscapes, the resort blends relaxed island living with thoughtful design, ocean adventures, nourishing food, and moments of quiet wellbeing.

Culinary Philosophy

We use the freshest locally sourced ingredients to create a seasonal à la carte menu that blends Indonesian flavors with Mediterranean culinary traditions. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared to offer a home-cooked feel with a refined touch.

Sustainability

Since our opening, we have been deeply committed to environmental stewardship. We prioritize sustainable practices that reduce the impact of our daily operations, from responsible waste management to rainwater collection and promoting responsible diving to protect marine life. 

  • Promoting Single Line Fishing

    We buy most of our fish from Bangka Island’s fishermen to ensure freshness, quality and sustainability.

  • Save Bangka From Illegal Mining

    We are proud to be among the founding members of the Bangka Conservation Fund (BCF).

  • Fight Against Plastic Pollution

    Since 2018, we proudly support 
    the No-Trash Triangle Initiative 
    with one of our founders.

  • Turtle Sanctuary

    In 2004, we launched a program 
    to protect the many turtles living in 
    the Bunaken Marine Park .
