Misool Resort was built entirely of reclaimed tropical hardwoods, milled on site with our own portable sawmill.

Our accommodations have been meticulously designed for comfort, privacy, and sustainability. All of our rooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and generously distributed around the undulating karst rock formations of our private resort island. All rooms feature Balinese-style open air bathrooms, wall fans, independent air-conditioning units, fresh hot and cold showers, mini-bars stocked with treats from around the archipelago, and handcrafted furniture and fittings.

Our eight Water Cottages are built on stilts over the North Lagoon. Separated from one another by at least 10 meters (30 feet), they offer space and privacy.  In the same area, we offer four slightly larger North Lagoon Villas.  The Restaurant and The Hive are also located in the North Lagoon.

On a powder-white beach, you'll find seven South Beach Villas overlooking a blue water swimming hole, tucked under the trees of an untouched jungle. The Dive Centre, Restaurant, and North Lagoon accommodations are reached by a short but steep walk over the hill, with exceptional 270 degree views along the way. Alternatively, a Water Taxi is reachable by radio and available at all times except for low tides.


north lagoon: water cottages

The Water Cottages are built on stilts over the water. For lazy afternoons with a good book, there is a hammock built right into the veranda. The view from your veranda is framed by a traditional grass roof, offering a high degree of privacy as well as shade. Stairs lead down from your veranda to the North Lagoon, and the House Reef is just a few fin kicks away.

It's easy to imagine you are the only person on Earth in these independent cottages: the perfect place to soak up the island’s tranquillity.

Villa Utara overlooks the House Reef and the spectacular dive sites of Fiabacet beyond. Steps down into the sea give easy access to the House Reef.  This Villa features two en-suite bedrooms, a shared common area with a half bath, a loft, and a massive veranda. We especially recommend this Villa for families with older children and groups of 4 friends. Private dinners can be arranged on your veranda.  


North Lagoon:  Villas Nasnoos and Wakachom

Nasnoos_Wakachom_0963.jpg

These two separate villas are built on stilts over the House Reef. They feature a hammock built into the verandas. This is the ideal spot for early evening shark-gazing while the sun goes down.  Villas Nasnoos and Wakachom each feature a master bedroom and an indoor living area with sofa.  The sofa can be converted into another twin or double bed, and there is a partition to add privacy to the master bedroom.  These Villas also have lounge seating sunken into the veranda as well as steps down into the sea.  Perfect for 2-3 guests, or they make a great option for two small groups who wish to be housed in the same area while maintaining space and independence.
