Expected re-opening: May 2022
Located in remote Raja Ampat, Indonesia, Misool resort island is a true tropical hideaway. This is eco diving in the heart of Raja at one of the world's most exclusive resorts. This hand built resort island is fringed with powder-white beaches and pristine coral reefs. With a maximum capacity of just 40 guests and a staff-to-guest ratio of 4 to 1, Misool offers exclusive adventure holidays and transformative experiences in pristine nature.

Misool was built entirely of reclaimed tropical hardwoods, milled on site. There are simply 3 room grades, but each option has been meticulously designed for comfort, privacy, and sustainability. All of the rooms feature Balinese-style open air bathrooms, air-conditioning, fresh hot and cold showers, mini-bars stocked with treats from around the archipelago, and handcrafted furniture and fittings.

The eight rustically luxurious Water Cottages are built on stilts over the North Lagoon, just steps from the Dive Centre and restaurant. Fancy an upgrade? Pick from one of the our larger North Lagoon Villas. Each is indivually named and crafted to fit into the island's environment. On a powder-white beach, you'll find seven South Beach Villas overlooking a blue water swimming hole. This beach is reached by a short but steep walk over the hill. Alternatively, a Water Taxi is reachable by radio and available at all times except very low tide.

Enjoy your meals at the restaurant on the beach overlooking the North Lagoon. The airy, round-roofed structure is tucked under the coconut palms, offering a perfect respite from the mid-day heat. The restaurant's terrace is the ideal place to enjoy a sunset cocktail or a bottle of wine while watching the baby sharks. The menu offers a broad range of Asian and Western cuisine, with a focus on fresh, local, and organic fare. As standard your package includes four meals per day, plus afternoon tea on the terrace, with freshly baked treats like lemon and cardamom biscotti or island-fresh banana fritters with shaved white chocolate. There is also a selection of imported beer, imported wine, and champagne available.

Raja Ampat is a mecca for divers, famed and one of a handful of wishlist destinations that truly deserves its hallowed name. But if you are just taking some time out of the water, or don't dive, there is plenty to do at Misool resort. The on land experiences are as much a part of the resort's ethos as the diving. The Spa boasts a range of massage and beauty treatments and feature Misool's signature range of natural products, most of which are created fresh each morning in their kitchen. Spend time with a loved one on a romantic beach castaway experience, or visit a local village. Try stand up paddle boarding, release baby Turtles or try your hand at an Indonesian cooking class. Misool is much more than just diving!

Misool is a child friendly resort. Ask your travel consultant about travelling with children to this special location.

It's time to dive the Misool Private Marine Reserve. All of the sites are protected by their own 300,00 acre/1,220 sq km Misool Marine Reserve. That means that an area twice the of Singapore is a dedicated conservation area, and free from all fishing.

You can expect a diverse selection of underwater experiences, including a busy manta cleaning station, coral covered walls, reef flats, swim throughs, gentle sea mounts, drift dives, vast hard-coral gardens, placid lagoons, and current-raked pinnacles. Visibility is variable but generally 25+ meters, with temperatures around 26-28 degrees Celsius (78-82 degrees Fahrenheit).

If you haven't seen it already, we recommend the 'Shallow Seas' episode of the BBC series 'Life.' Peter Schoons and his team spent 6 weeks filming on the House Reef to capture the sequence of Anemone fish tending their brood!

The 3D underwater footage of the recent IMAX film 'Journey to the South Pacific' was filmed on Misool Eco Resort's incredible dive sites.
