Nabucco Island

Did you ever dream about your own "Robinson Carusoe Island"? Spending your holiday far away from civilization, noise and every-day-life? We found the paradise you've been looking for - the protected Nabucco Island offers pure nature. It's located northeast of Indonesian Kalimantan (Borneo) in the Celebes Sea, and is close to Derawan, Sangalaki, Kakaban and Maratua -all well known to divers. This is the home to one of the last populations of coconut crab, as well as many other very rare species. You can take a trip over to Maratua and observe apes, bats, and a diversity of rare bird species in their natural habitat.

The resort was set around the existing flora - not a single palm or tree was cut. Nabucco Island is the perfect coexistence of luxury and ecology. The rooms are furnished with the finest regional wood and materials, which complete the natural setting. The pristine waters here offer world class diving, where you'll see a huge variety of underwater life from macro critters to big fish, non stinging jellies and magnificent manta rays.
