Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa – Location

From North Sulawesi’s mainland, the resort’s transfer boat takes guests directly to the private jetty of Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort. Bunaken Island is located about three kilometres from the mainland, not far from Manado, in the middle of a protected marine park. The total transfer time from Manado Airport by car and the subsequent boat trip is around 1.5 hours. The resort is built on a steep hillside overlooking the mangroves at Liang Beach, in the heart of Bunaken Island. The resort grounds can be explored comfortably by using the gently meandering paths that extend across the resort area.

Besides exclusivity and luxury, a stay at Bunaken Oasis means experiencing the “real” Indonesia. Guests can expect an authentic insight into the vibrant, colourful island life of the approximately 3,000 inhabitants, most of whom work in agriculture, fishing or tourism.
