Welcome to Minahasa Highland!

Highland Resort & Nature Tours near Tomohon, North Sulawesi

A unique resort in the Minahasa Highland that offers a cool respite from the heat of Manado

Many people associate North Sulawesi primarily with diving and snorkelling, but there is so much more to discover. A visit to Manado is incomplete without exploring the breathtaking Minahasa Highlands, which offer a wealth of attractions.

Highland Resort & Nature Tours is the perfect base for your stay, whether for a short visit or an extended getaway. Our unique resort provides a refreshing escape from the tropical heat of the city of Manado, offering a serene environment to unwind amidst the lush vegetation and vibrant birdlife of the Highlands.

Nestled in Kinilow, a quaint village positioned between Manado and Tomohon, our resort is conveniently set back from the main road, allowing guests to enjoy the tranquility away from the traffic. With stunning views of the hills and ravine, we are ideally located just 20 kilometres from Manado and a mere 5 kilometres from Tomohon.

At an elevation of 650 metres above sea level, the refreshing mountain climate of Highland Resort offers a perfect retreat for those acclimating to the tropical warmth of Indonesia. The nearby town of Tomohon boasts a variety of shops, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants, along with a vibrant traditional market that is a must-visit in the morning, showcasing an array of fruits, vegetables, spices, and household goods. Be on the lookout for the local delicacies, including skinned bats and rats.

A striking aspect of the resort’s setting is the majestic volcanoes of Lokon and Mahawu, whose volcanic soil nourishes the abundant greenery that surrounds the resort, making this region a key supplier of vegetables and flowers to Manado.

“We stayed for 3 nights and were extremely happy with everything. We especially enjoyed the organised trip to the Tangkoko National Park where we saw Tarsiers and Black macaques, the stop at the extremely delicious Lake Tondano Restaurant and we enjoyed exploring the area by ourselves with minibuses and the useful advice of the Highland Resort staff.”
