Amban Beach House – Your Base for adventure in West Papua Amban Beach House sits right on the Pacific coast, in the local village of Amban—just 5 km outside of Manokwari. As the first guesthouse in this area, we offer direct access to the beach and unbeatable ocean views from your doorstep. The beachfront location makes us a favorite among surfers, especially between October and April, when Amban’s waves are at their best. In the calmer months, the beach becomes ideal for surf lessons, swimming, snorkeling, or paddleboarding. On-site, you’ll also find the Travel Papua tour office, making it easy to arrange a range of local activities all over Papua and in the area such as: Birdwatching trips to the Arfak Mountains Snorkeling and diving around nearby Mansinam Island Surf tours to nearby breaks and hidden beaches Korowai adventures and cultural trips to the Baliem Valley Whale sharks in Nabire and Kaimana Island Hopping in Raja Ampat and much more Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and common areas, and a few local cafés are within walking distance for coffee, snacks, or meeting local residents. Amban Beach House welcomes surfers, nature lovers, couples, families, and solo travelers looking for an active stay near Manokwari. Whether you're here for a short visit or an extended getaway, our team is ready to help you discover the best of Papua.
We love welcoming guests to Papua and helping them experience the real beauty of this island—its waves, nature, and people. Our team enjoys surfing, hiking, and sharing local stories.
Amban Beach House is located in Amban Village, a coastal community just 10–15 minutes from downtown Manokwari. The area has become known after we built our guesthouse, for its surf culture, and during the weekend and outside wave season local tourism enjoying the sunset at Amban Beach. Our guesthouse is surrounded by a small network of local houses, family-run kiosks where you can buy snacks, fruits, or basic essentials. Within walking distance, you'll find: A few local cafés where you can grab coffee and tasting the local cuisine Small shops (kios) for snacks, drinks, and daily items Friendly neighbors and kids often playing football on the beach at sunset The beach itself is a quiet stretch mostly used by local tourists and surfers. Amban offers the best of both worlds: an escape right by the beach, yet still close enough to Manokwari town for access to supermarkets, the cinema in the mall. restaurants, and local markets.
