Dining at Bunaken Oasis follows the rhythm of the day. Morning light over the sea. Afternoon calm between dives. Evenings defined by quiet conversation and warm air.
The experience is relaxed, refined, and consistent with the overall philosophy of the resort
We believe great food starts with great ingredients – and that means keeping things close to home. Much of our produce is sourced directly from local farmers, fishermen, and markets across North Sulawesi. Some is even grown on the resort in our organic fruit and vegetable garden. By working with our community and respecting the seasons, we ensure every plate is both sustainable and deeply flavourful. From line-caught pelagic fish to tropical fruits picked just that morning, the island’s bounty is always at your table.
We are happy to accommodate most allergies and dietary intolerances with advance notice, allowing our culinary team to tailor each dining experience with care.

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.
