misool eco resort, indonesia

Misool is a private island resort and conservation centre located in remote southern Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

You’ll find the island hidden deep in an archipelago of uninhabited islands, 105 miles from the nearest port, and the nearest village is 20 km away by boat.  We are surrounded by the richest reefs in the world, at the very heart of marine biodiversity. There simply are no richer reefs on earth.

“There is greater biodiversity — that is to say, a larger number and greater diversity of fish, coral, and mollusks — on these reefs than anywhere on earth. A single football field-sized patch of Misool’s reefs has nearly five times the number of coral species as the entire Caribbean Sea.”

The island and scuba diving sites are surrounded by 300,000 acre/1220 sq km Misool Marine Reserve, which was established in 2005. The resort is also inside the Raja Ampat Shark and Manta Sanctuary, which the resport spearheaded in 2010.

This resort island is a true tropical hideaway, just a stone’s throw south of the equator. With a maximum capacity of just 40 guests and a staff-to-guest ratio of 4 to 1, they offer exclusive adventure holidays and transformative experiences in pristine nature.

Your stay at Misool directly supports their numerous conservation initiatives and provides sustainable employment opportunities to local people, entirely decoupled from the extraction of marine resources.
