Misool Eco Resort
Raja Ampat Islands
Misool Eco Resort is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Eco Retreats.
A stunning eco resort on a remote private island in the scuba diving paradise of Raja Ampat. This chic eco resort is fringed with powder-white beaches that are protected by stunning clear lagoons and abundant reefs. With just ten guest holiday cottages, Misool Eco Resort offers exclusive luxury diving holidays, surrounded by the world's richest reefs. There are 8 Water Cottages and 2 Deluxe Villas each stilted over the placid North Lagoon. All the furniture and fittings have been hand-crafted on site from recycled wood by their team of resident Javanese artisans and local apprentices. Each spacious cottage is equipped with air conditioning, a mini-bar and a Balinese-style en suite bathroom. They all have a private veranda on which you'll enjoy gentle tropical breezes and glorious equatorial views. The Dive Centre and beachfront restaurant are just steps away, looking out over a shallow turquoise lagoon – the perfect place to enjoy a sunset drink while watching the black tip reef sharks hunting in the bay.
When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.
