Lissenung Island Resort
Picture a small private island with a white sandy beach, tall palm trees, beautiful flowers, magnificent sunsets and traditional bungalows. Surrounding this beautiful adults-only hideaway are some of the most colourful reefs and some of the best fish life this planet has to offer…
Just north of Australia lies Papua New Guinea – The Land of the Unexpected. After a 1.5-hour flight from Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, you reach Kavieng. Situated only 2 degrees south of the Equator on the north-western end of the island of New Ireland, you find yourself in a small and laid-back town. Often referred to as a typical “Somerset Maugham” South Pacific island setting, you are now right between two crystal clear oceans: The South Pacific to the north and the Bismarck Sea to the south.
Lissenung Island Resort is located a 20-minute boat ride from Kavieng, the capital of New Ireland Province. The resort was started by Dietmar in early 1996 and it still remains all there is on the island. Seven ocean-front rooms (Six with private facilities) in four duplex bungalows, furnished with hardwood floors and spacious verandahs, are spread out over the island. Other than a handful of local staff, you won’t see another soul, and you can easily circumnavigate the island in about 10 – 15 minutes.
Deckchairs and a bottle of wine on the beach at sunset time are the perfect way to end an exciting day of diving. A minimum age limit of 12 years for our guests ensures a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. With a maximum of 14 guests, personal service is guaranteed and your holiday truly exclusive!
