Papua Paradise Resort is surrounded with pristine reefs, a myriad of tropical birds and unspoiled flora making the uninhabited island of Birie a haven for both divers and non-divers in the heart of Raja Ampat. The resort is built in traditional style and offers you an exceptional high standard of service and comfort, the ideal retreat away from civilisation where you can only hear the echoing sound of the birds and the waves lapping under the bungalows.

The 16 local architectural inspired, built on stilts waterfront bungalows made from local natural materials such as bamboo and palm leafs on the north west side of the island overlook a long stretch of the house reef with world class diving and the jungle paths around the border of the peninsula that are surrounded by magnificent untamed wilderness and enormous towering trees.

Just like the bungalows, the delightful waterfront restaurant overlooks the pristine house reef and it is the ideal place to unwind and refuel after your daily adventures on the island. The restaurant offers a range of European and Indonesian Cuisine on buffet style and this means that no effort is spared in the resort’s kitchen to ensure the highest quality levels of food are served. All locally grown produce available is purchased from villages in the surrounding islands as well as collecting it from the resort’s own vegetable garden, while some other items are purchased from the local port of Sorong. If you are a fan of bread, cakes and pasta you are in for a treat as it is all homemade and served fresh here.

Papua Paradise Divers is a PADI 5 star dive centre located on the resort’s grounds run by a very enthusiastic team of local dive guides and western instructors. To ensure you make the most out of your diving experience, the dive centre operates 4 guests to one guide standard with great emphasis on customer service and professional standards. When diving the house reef be ready for that special encounter with mandarin fish, manta rays, wobbegongs, bamboo and reef sharks and the occasional dugong.

When you are not diving or relaxing, the nearby islands and wild jungle forests are ideal to fill your day with different activities. Full day boat trips can be organised locally to the beautiful passage and hidden bay as well as Mushroom Island and a visit to manta point and bat cave. Arafi Village and a visit to the waterfall are also available and should not be missed out.
