Dolong is a busy fishing village, and the only settlement on the island. It's served by public boats from Malenge (12,000Rp, one hour). You'll find peace and paradise once you get to your resort.



Sifa Cottage is a remote but beautifully situated place with big, rustic wood cottages that grace a flat, coconut-palm-covered white beach that extends to aqua blue. The house reef here is the best in the Togeans, so it's perfect for snorkellers. There's a dive centre here too (fun dives €27). Rates drop in the low season. Lia Beach, built on eco-principles with a back-to-nature vibe, was set to open late 2015.
