Murex Bangka Dive Resort

Situated on a palm-fringed white sand beach, Murex Bangka offers a true Robinson Crusoe style experience. Drift away in a hammock while listening to the waves lapping on the shore, swim or snorkel in the crystal clear waters in front of the resort, explore the ocean by paddle-board or enjoy a sun-downer while watching the glowing sunset over the ocean.

Accommodation

Murex Bangka offers a choice of charming and comfortable, traditionally styled timber bungalows as well as larger duplex rooms, which have adjoining doors and are perfect for families. All rooms are oceanfront with stunning views.

Rooms have private verandas where you can sit back and relax in comfort as well as en-suite hot water bathrooms, air conditioning throughout the night, and either a king size or twin beds. Whichever room you stay in you’ll be on the beach and just steps away from the crystal clear water.

Murex Bangka is the only resort on Bangka Island able to offer hot water, en-suite showers and air conditioning. Power operates in the rooms from 5pm – 7am and additionally in the restaurant and camera room during lunch time hours.

Food
