How do you make a trip? Snorkel through the breathtaking walls of Bunaken Marine Park in North Sulawesi even better? Of course, add in the beautiful coral gardens and exciting critters at nearby Bangka Island! Combining these two great destinations just got a whole lot easier with Siladen Resort—Located in the heart of Bunaken — join forces with a one-of-a-kind boutique resort on Bangka Island called Coral eyes.
Coral Eye began in 2009 when four passionate marine biologists established a “marine outpost” in the heart of the Coral Triangle, on Bangka Island – “where universities and students could exchange ideas and develop their projects on tropical marine environments.” After the establishment of the dive center, Coral Eye also began to welcome tourists and now this activity offers visitors a unique opportunity to interact with scientists and students doing scientific research on the ocean.

Siladen Resort joins forces with Coral Eye, Bangka Island, North Sulawesi
Siladen Resort & Spa very pleased to introduce to you our favorite diving resort partner in Bangka Island, Coral eyes. Ana Fonseca, Miguel Ribeiro and Daniele Marianelli of Siladen Resort have teamed up with Marco Segre, CEO and Founder of Coral Eye, to invest in this stunning resort project.
Daniele met Marco when he went to Indonesia to do his thesis in Marine Biology. He lives on Siladen Island, and is a fellow Italian, naturally becoming friends with Daniele. Over the years, when Marco realized he wanted to follow his dream by building the Eye of Coral on Bangka, Daniele became Marco’s patron. When the pandemic hit, they turned to each other for advice and support, which only helped strengthen their friendship.
So it’s only natural for them to take it one step further to become a business partner as common stockholders of Coral Eye. With this partnership, together with Miguel and Ana, they are committed to investing in improving Coral Eye’s facilities and guest services, while preserving the unique identity of the resort.
For those who want to spend time in Bangka, diving and snorkeling on the beautiful soft coral slopes of this area, we highly recommend Coral Eye.
