Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa occupies a unique position overlooking one of the world’s most important marine environments. Designed as a boutique property, the resort offers privacy, space, and a level of tranquillity that larger destinations cannot replicate. With just twelve cottages, the atmosphere remains peaceful and uncrowded. The architecture draws on traditional Indonesian design principles, using natural materials and elevated structures that complement the landscape while maximising views across the gardens and pool to the ocean.
The layout of the resort has been carefully planned to support both relaxation and diving. The infinity pool provides a central point for rest and recovery. The restaurant and bar offer panoramic views across the marine park. The private jetty ensures easy access to our dive boats and the surrounding reef system.
The limited number of cottages allows the resort to maintain a consistently high level of service, privacy, and operational precision. This deliberate restraint defines the character of Bunaken Oasis.
It is not designed for volume.
It is designed for excellence.
While Bunaken is famous for its diving, there’s much more to explore. Join a guided snorkelling excursion, paddleboard or kayak through mangroves, or take a cultural trip to nearby islands. Bird watching, cookery lessons and marine education talks are just some of the enriching experiences available to you during your stay.
Our open-air restaurant celebrates local flavours with a refined twist. Savour dishes from the daily à la carte menu featuring freshly caught seafood, homegrown produce from our on-site organic garden, and international lassics reimagined with an Indonesian touch. From breakfast through to candlelit dinners, every meal is a sensory journey enhanced by breathtaking views of the ocean.

Watch how these massive groups of fish swim in perfect harmony above the coral reef. They use a special organ called a lateral line to feel water pressure and avoid bumping into each other. This amazing teamwork helps them navigate the busy ocean safely.

Unlike common dorid nudibranchs that carry a visible, feathery rosette of gills on their backs, Armina species have concealed gills tucked underneath the sides of their mantle skirt. This streamlined build prevents sand and sediment from damaging their delicate respiratory organs while digging.
