Facilities

Lotus Gangga Island has an open-air restaurant serving European and Indonesian dishes. The full bar follows restaurant hours, with afternoon tea served at the pool bar. Once a week the resort offers a fish grill accompanied by Minahasan music.

Lotus Gangga Island’s saltwater eternity pool sits at the edge of the ocean, blurring the line between the resort and the sea beyond. Surrounded by palm trees, it’s a natural place to decompress and relax.

Named after the Manadonese word for “beautiful,” Pasung Spa offers a menu of traditional Minahasan treatments designed to restore body and mind.

Our PADI-certified dive centre offers dive courses and scuba + snorkel adventures to over thirty sites throughout North Sulawesi. From the Bangka Archipelago to Bunaken National Marine Park, our professional dive guides and instructors keep groups small for safety and personalisation.

Sustainability & Community Commitment

Protecting Gangga Island’s Nature and Cultural Heritage

Our approach to tourism is rooted in regenerative travel, shaped by how we contribute to our surrounding communities and environment. Fuelled by our vision for Desa Lestari — sustainable villages living in balance with nature — our staff works together to apply regenerative practices.

Lotus Gangga Island generates 90% of its energy from solar panels, and we have deployed Hexareefs (artificial reef structures that promote coral growth) in our surrounding waters. We minimise our use of single-use plastics and compost waste onsite.
