Blue Lagoon Resort And Dive Shop

Blue lagoon resort and dive shop

Chuuk

This pioneer resort is situated on one of the most naturally beautiful peninsulas in all of Micronesia at the southwest tip of Weno Island, Chuuk, in the Federated States of Micronesia.

First built by Continental Airlines in the 1970s, the grounds are highlighted by towering coconut trees, and the sun always sets in clear view, giving visitors an amazing show.

Blue Lagoon Resort is one of those places that visitors love to return to. The rooms are newly renovated and air-conditioned with in-room Wi-Fi, and each offers a balcony view of the lagoon. Guests enjoy a tropical setting and there is snorkeling right from the shore. An added attraction is lagoon island glamping at nearby Jeep and Fonomu Islands.

The full Dining Room features a large menu offering international as well as local dishes. The grounds are well-manicured and on-site are a beauty salon, massage therapist, business center, the famous Sunset Bar, kayak and SUP rentals, and an island gift shop.

Offering coral-laden historical shipwrecks, scuba enthusiasts from around the world visit Blue Lagoon, the shipwreck capital of the world. Artifacts, beautiful corals and abundant marine life reward divers who descend the tranquil lagoon waters. The resort was purchased by the family of Hall of Fame Chuukese diver Kimiuo Aisek and continues to be family-run to this day.

BLUE LAGOON DIVE SHOP

Chuuk’s first and most experienced dive shop, Blue Lagoon Dive Shop is staffed by qualified Chuukese guides who know the wrecks extremely well.
