We were recommended baliku from our accommodation as we were interested in a few dives. They were super helpful and gave us the info we needed. They picked us up from our resort and as we’d not dived for a while Iju was great in suggesting a couple of shore dives to ease us in. The dives were great, especially the second one near the Japanese ship wreck. Can’t believe how many fish we saw, octopus, turtles, sea snakes and all sorts. It was so good we booked to go back for another 2 dives one of which was a boat then drift dive. Iju was very patient and easy going and talked us through everything before the dives.
Theres also have a great little restaurant opposite near the shop wreck which was lovely for lunch after the dives finished.
Would highly recommend them

Firstly, we stayed at the Baliku Hotel only for diving. And we spent five unforgettable days in it. Wonderful cool and spacious apartments, beautiful pool, great food. By the way, some tourists from other hotels go to Baliku to eat. Nearby there is a good beach (though not sand, but pebbles) you can sunbathe, swim and dive to the sunken Japanese fishing wreck. Many colorful fish under the sea . By the way, I studied diving with a professional instructor Matt from Australia. He is also an underwater photographer, very interestingly talking about the underwater world. His beautiful Instagram is @scubarista.

Arini, Tajus and all of the staff at Baliku looked after us like family during our stay.

We were a large group - 10 people for 9 nights, but everything about our stay at Baliku was fantastic. The accomodation is beautiful, thoughtfully laid out and with a great private terrace/daybed area to each room. The coast/bay views are stunning and the resort is beautifully landscaped with a fantastic pool area as well.

The restaurant had a great and varied menu - were ate breakfast at the resort each day, lunch and dinner most days and still had not tried even half of the available dishes. The cocktails were equally delicious!

The staff really were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble, from helping us arrange hire of a scooter, to excursions and other restaurant bookings, massages and the like.Thanks also to Niko the dive master at the resort, who (literally!) held my hand through a first try at scuba during our stay.

We had a fantastic time at Baliku and I couldn't recommend them highly enough!
