Last night, amid the glitz and glamour of the World Travel Awards Grand Final in Bahrain, Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa was proudly crowned World’s Leading Dive Resort 2025. For divers, adventurers, and luxury travellers alike, this recognition confirms what those who have experienced it already know: here, world-class diving meets five-star comfort in one unforgettable package.

Bunaken Oasis isn’t just a resort; it’s a gateway to one of the planet’s most vibrant underwater worlds, combined with the elegance, service, and serenity of a luxury retreat.

Where the Ocean Becomes a Playground

Nestled on the pristine shores of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, Bunaken Oasis provides immediate access to the celebrated Bunaken National Marine Park. This UNESCO-protected paradise is renowned for crystal-clear waters, dramatic wall dives, and an extraordinary diversity of marine life — from reef sharks and turtles to kaleidoscopic coral gardens teeming with tropical fish.

From the moment divers descend beneath the surface, the park reveals its secrets: sheer underwater walls, vibrant coral forests, and encounters with creatures that transform every dive into a magical adventure. With on-site professional dive staff, tailored excursions, and state-of-the-art equipment, even novice divers are guided safely into a world that feels infinite.

Luxury Above Water

The resort itself complements the underwater spectacle with an equally impressive above-water experience. Every villa, suite, and bungalow is designed for comfort, style, and tranquility, combining traditional Indonesian architecture with modern luxury. Guests wake to gentle ocean breezes, soft sunlight filtering through lush palms, and the soothing sound of waves lapping the shore.

Elegant Accommodation: Spacious rooms with private terraces or balconies, contemporary interiors, and luxury amenities ensure every stay is restful and refined.

Dining Excellence: From freshly caught seafood to international gourmet cuisine, meals are a celebration of flavour and presentation, often enjoyed with panoramic views of the ocean.

Spa & Wellness: The resort’s spa provides the perfect counterpoint to adrenaline-filled dives, offering massages, holistic treatments, and spaces for total relaxation.

Tailored Diving Experiences

Bunaken Oasis excels in crafting diving experiences that cater to all levels:

Guided Wall Dives and Reefs: Explore the park’s legendary walls with expert instructors who ensure safe, unforgettable dives.

Night Dives: Witness a different side of the ocean as nocturnal species emerge, and the reef comes alive with phosphorescent wonder.

Photography & Training: Courses and photo-friendly dives help enthusiasts capture the vibrant underwater world and refine their skills.

Liveaboard Options: For those seeking extended adventures, multi-day itineraries immerse guests fully in the marine park’s wonders.

Beyond Diving — Experiences That Enchant

While diving is the star, the resort ensures that every moment above water is equally memorable. Guests can kayak through turquoise lagoons, snorkel in calm shallows, or simply lounge on pristine beaches. Sunset cocktails, private dining experiences, and cultural excursions into nearby villages provide a rounded sense of place and serenity.

Bunaken Oasis understands that a five-star dive resort is about balance: action and relaxation, adventure and indulgence, nature and luxury.
