Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa redefines exclusivity and diving in North Sulawesi. Accommodation as well as diving operations meet the highest quality and service standards making it the place of choice for divers, snorkellers and nature lovers alike to fully enjoy Bunaken’s treasures.

Beautifully located on Liang Beach on Bunaken Island, it is located in the heart of Bunaken National Marine Park – a diver’s paradise that enchants with a great abundance of marine life, impressive walls and prosperous coral reefs due to its priviledged location right in the centre of the Coral Triangle. A spectacular infinity pool, twelve stylish cottages, a tranquil spa, its restaurant with excellent cuisine and a multi-level cocktail bar are just some of the facilities that distinguish the elegant Boutique Resort.

The resort offers a 5-star experience whilst keeping the ecological footprint at a minimum. The respect and care for the unique nature in Bunaken is already reflected in the sensitively designed infrastructure of the resort; with various initiatives and projects, the owners support a large number of local community projects. Winning at the World Travel Awards 2019 honours these efforts and the fantastic work of “Indonesia’s Leading Dive Resort”.
