West Papua, Indonesia, Asia
Rare underwater species, from manta rays to a kaleidoscopic array of coral, make these islands as compelling as can be for thrill-seeking divers and wildlife adventurers. Just off the northwest tip of New Guinea’s West Papua province, this Indonesian archipelago seems remote, regardless of where you call home — but the journey is worth it. Not only for a spell in one of the 20 overwater villas fashioned from driftwood and fallen branches but thanks to the dynamic foundation.
Bouteco loves: Working with private businesses and like-minded partners from the scuba-diving industry, and through donations from guests in 2018, almost $200k raised went towards Misool’s inspiring work protecting the marine environment and communities of Raja Ampat.
