Construction of houses in the village of Saleman was very unique. Wooden houses are established residents above the water. Construction of houses was later adopted by Ora Beach Resort, an exotic specialty on the island of Ora. It must be great fun, have a house with a blue sea as the garden.

Besides the beauty of the sea, Saleman also has another unique tourism potential. Such as "Air Belanda" (“Dutch Water” <in English>), the name given by local people to a small river that leads into the Gulf Saleman. In colonial times, Air Belanda was being used as base of the  Dutch defense. In "Air Belanda" visitors also can watch thousands of Lusiala - a type of bird - flying out of the karst cliffs by late afternoon.
