Where to Stay in Madang (North Coast of Mainland)
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Madang (North Coast of Mainland)
Accommodation Overview
Madang offers a good range of stays, from the dive-focused Jais Aben Resort with its house reef to the larger Madang Resort Hotel and mid-range options such as Kalibobo Village and Coastwatchers Hotel. Most properties are a short boat ride from Planet Rock, Magic Passage, and Hansa Bay, and include gear storage and early breakfasts. A stay of five to seven days is enough to sample the pinnacles, walls, wrecks, and muck, and the calm conditions make it a great choice for newer divers.
