Set on a private island amid pristine ecosystems, this secluded tropical paradise has powder white sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, cockatoos, parrots, baby sharks, and turtles. Surrounded by a 1,200 sq km No-Take Zone (former shark-finning camp), cottages are built on stilts over the water while villas are nestled either on the beach or on the edge of the lagoon. The access to Misool requires a boat transfer from Sorong Airport. Transfers between the airport and the private island are included in the package rates, by private speed boat and at fixed date.
Departure from Sorong at about 09:00 on scheduled transfer dates, arriving at Misool about 5 hours later.

Your Hosts & The Team
“Misool Eco Resort is the refuge we are all seeking when we try to find our way off the beaten path. It's a triumph of dreamers. Once you're here you will feel that it's a love story too, a story about individuals committed to a faraway place so special that no obstacle was insurmountable. Secret Retreats properties are linked by this same dream”
Andrew and Marit Miners – Saving the World’s Richest Reefs
As the visionaries behind Misool, Andrew and Marit Miners have successfully turned a former shark finning camp into a sanctuary for baby sharks averaging a 250% increase in fish biomass over a five-year period. Dedicated to promoting ethical, eco-friendly tourism and conserving the local environment, Misool is built from reclaimed hardwood, provides sustainable local employment opportunities, and fiercely protects its 300,000-acre / 1,220-square-kilometre Marine Reserve which boasts some of the world’s most biodiverse reefs. In 2005, Andrew and Marit started their first ‘No-Take Zone’ policy where all fishing, cyanide fishing, bombing, shark finning, and harvesting of turtle eggs and shellfish were prohibited, allowing for marine biodiversity to flourish and remain protected for generations to come. Currently the total Marine Protected Area surrounding the dive resort is twice the size of Singapore and patrolled by Misool’s own Ranger Patrol, which is financed by its sister nonprofit, Misool Foundation.Andrew and Marit’s dream of sharing their passion for nature by creating an eco resort refuge at the edge of the world – where divers and non-divers alike can reconnect with nature while directly contributing financially toward preserving the world’s richest reefs – is a great success story that proves what’s possible when you have passion and determination.
