Exciting news comes from North Sulawesi: Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa, a resort dedicated to divers, was named the best dive resort in Asia for 2025.
The award ceremony for Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa took place in Hong Kong in mid-October 2025, as part of the prestigious World Travel Awards 2025 celebrations. In this category, two Indonesian resorts made the Top 10 in Asia: Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa and Lembeh Resort. Both resorts are located in North Sulawesi. This prestigious award puts Indonesia ahead of other top nominees from the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Situated in the luxury segment, Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort & Spa provides a luxurious five-star diving experience while minimizing its ecological footprint. The resort offers 12 large, traditionally built villas, including one two-bedroom family villa and one villa near the Long House. Their mission is to provide premium diving experiences, particularly in the protected area of Bunaken National Park.
