Listing Details
Surrounding Area
Diving tourism at Maratua is still very low-key, mainly because of the lengthy travel times involved in getting out to the atoll. Situated on the eastern side of the central lagoon, Nabucco Resort has been running for several years. In 2005, a new resort, Maratua Paradise, was opened on the western side, offering easy access to Maratua’s dive sites, as well as the rest of the Derawan Archipelago.
The Paradise Resorts house reef is a perfect example of what Maratua has to offer. The steady currents that flow past the atoll are perfect for the growth of corals — as a result, the steep walls are covered in colourful gorgonians and plates of hard coral. Beautiful, clear water makes a drift along this section of reef a pleasure in itself but it is the variety of life that gets divers in these waters again and again.

Other Information
The atoll of Maratua is situated 50km off Kalimantan's muddy coastline. Because there is only a small population of fishermen scattered along four villages around the atoll, the marine life in Maratua is still in excellent condition. Not many divers get a chance to explore this atoll, mainly because it is not easily accessible. There is a steady current that flows past the atoll, making it fertile grounds for corals, as can be seen in the colorful gorgonians and hard corals covering the steep walls.
Directions
- Fly in Balikpapan, Kalimantan. There are direct flights from both Jakarta and Singapore. From here, fly to Berau on Das/Kalstar.
- A resort boat will meet you at Berau and take you to Maratua.
- Also possible to travel from Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, via ferries and flights through Tawau and Tarakan or Nunukan, but this route involves an overnight stay in Tarakan or Nunukan. Then take flight from Nunukan to Berau to catch the transfer boat or direct boat transfer to resort from Tarakan jetty.
