When we started developing Metita Beach & Dive Resort we had one major goal in mind: to create a place that offers every guest an extraordinary and unique experience – no matter if diver, snorkeler, or beach enthusiast. Every aspect should reflect our standard of quality, service and ecological approach. Metita Beach & Dive Resort is exclusively set on a small secluded island, surrounded by pristine sandy beaches and a vibrant coral reef – treasures which we feel obliged to preserve and to protect. A hidden paradise far away from many other crowded tourist destinations.
Morotai is still a grey area on many maps and lies off the beaten paths which makes it even more interesting but also vulnerable. Based on many negative examples as our encouragement we believe in sustainable tourism by avoiding plastic usage, educating locals in terms of nature conservation, building the resort with respect to the existing forest and supporting ecological fishing.
We have built Metita Beach & Dive Resort with as little impact on the nature as possible. This includes that we did not cut trees and only cleaned the undergrowth around the buildings. We have installed wastewater septic tanks and grease traps in the kitchen sinks to ensure that the water that goes in the ground is clean.
We have a desalination plant and produce our own fresh and drinking water so we don’t depend on transporting water gallons from Morotai Island. Additionally, our guests receive refillable drinking bottles to avoid the need of single use plastic bottles. To generally minimize the use of plastic we have reusable boxes for our grocery shopping so nothing has to be brought to Metita Island in plastic bags.

Location
Metita Resort is exclusively located on the small paradise island of Metita, at the southern tip of Morotai Island. Metita Beach & Dive Resort is an Eco Resort with high standards regarding environmental conservation above and under water.
Metita Island
Metita is a small island off the very southern tip of Morotai Island, North Halmahera, Maluku. The coral reef fringed island is only 900 metres long and 450 metres wide, so it is easy to walk around in about 45 minutes. With only the Metita Resort on the island, this is paradise for those who want to get away and immerse themselves in nature.
The Restaurant & Lounge
Enjoy healthy food and drinks to fuel your activities from our resort’s restaurant and lounge. Our nourishing menu features fruit, vegetables and herbs from local suppliers. Fish and meat come from local fishermen and farmers, ensuring not only that our food is the highest quality, but also that local communities benefit from the presence of the resort.
