Papua Paradise Eco ResortBirie Island


Papua Paradise Resort is located in Raja Ampat, on the jungle-covered island of Birie. It is surrounded with pristine reefs, unspoiled flora and beautiful white sandy beaches. Boat transfers between Sorong and Birie Island take about 2 hours one way, subject to weather and sea conditions. The resort offers one daily boat transfer from/to Sorong.

The owners have a great focus on supporting the conservation of Raja Ampat’s spectacular underwater and rainforest realm, while also helping and creating real benefits for the local communities.
Accommodation
On the north-west side of the island, there are a total of 26 over-water bungalows: 16 Superior and 10 Deluxe Overwater Bungalows. As you arrive on the jetty facing to the beach, the Superior Bungalows are on the left side, and the Deluxe Bungalows on the right side.

Each 85sqm Deluxe Bungalow has its own spacious veranda and sundeck with sunbeds, on which guests can enjoy the slight breeze and the sunset. The Superior Bungalows are 70sqm in size. Each bungalow is traditionally decorated with solid wood furniture, maintaining the local style and atmosphere.
Deluxe Bungalows feature a king size bed, a special snug corner for reading or relaxing, a semi-opened bathroom with hot and cold fresh water shower, large dressing space with wardrobe, mini-bar and ceiling fan. Superior Bungalows have a queen size bed, pedestal fan, private ensuite bathroom with hot and cold water shower and a large sunset veranda with sun beds and hammock.

All bungalows feature an ocean view desk, safety deposit box, cupboard, wardrobe and mosquito net. Each bungalow has 24 hours electricity (220V, CEE European plugs). Air-conditioning is naturally done by the slight ocean breeze. Please note that there is no direct access to the sea from the bungalows; the safest way to get into the water would be from the ends of the two main jetties at the front and back of the resort.
