What's the food like?

You are visiting a remote island in Indonesia, and we want to give you a taste of Bunaken Island therefore all our cooks are from Bunaken Island and they cook local food (but not as hot as the locals like it!).

We vary our menu with main dishes of fish, chicken, eggs, meat as well as with some vegetarian dishes such as tofu and tempe. All main dishes are served with rice, vegetables and salad. We are happy to cater for any dietary requirements - just tell us when you arrive.

Sunday roast - spit-roast pig!

Pelagic fish only - we do not serve reef fish because we want to discourage the locals not to fish the reef. We therefore only buy pelagic fish from the locals (eg tuna, mackeral, barracuda and trevally), and its really fresh as they bring it straight to the resort after they have caught it!

Occasionally we get something very special - below is a picture of a black marlin that one of the locals caught, and this was with a hand-line on a small 2m-long boat!

Local catch of Black Marlin - food for the entire week!
