Misool Eco Resort

Misool Eco Resort

There’s an exciting development happening in a remote corner of Indonesia: the Misool Eco Resort. Andrew Miners is constructing a new dive resort on Batbitim Island in the southern Raja Ampat islands, part of Indonesia’s Papua province.

The only other non-liveaboard dive resort I know of is Papua Diving’s operation on Kri, a little to the north (check out the Video and Trip reports for more details from our visit last year).

Having seen some of the operations and maintenance challenges of existing in such a remote location (e.g. desalination plant, outboard motors), there’s no underestimating the ambition of this venture.

The plan is to be open a year from now in Autumn 2007: can’t wait to see how it turns out.
