Bunaken Oasis Resort – North Sulawesi

Bunaken Oasis Resort is built on a steep hillside overlooking the mangroves on Liang Beach (don’t worry, there are gently meandering paths everywhere, so getting around the resort is easy). The major focal point of the resort is a free form infinity pool, with sun loungers and easy access to the bar, for those who want to spend time above rather than below the water. Bunaken is not a white-sand “paradise” island; it is a working island of nearly 3,000 inhabitants. It is, however, an example of “real” Indonesia and gives visitors a genuine insight into vibrant, colorful island life.
