From arrival it felt as though we had arrived on another planet so far removed from our everyday lives back home. The island is a pristine idyllic ring of sand and coral with a forested interior and great fun to explore. The resort Thomas and family have built here is just the right mix of modern amenities and simple beach living: comfortable beds a few meters from the water, a great communal area, well prepared, varied and tasty food, relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff. We were also the first commercial divers on the island, with new equipment arriving off of boat the morning of the day we dived. The diving was well worth it. Amazing visibility, sheer wall and sea life, big turtles, barracuda and blacktip reef sharks. Plus for what you are getting here the price is extremely good value. Thanks for having me and my son Thomas. It was one of the highlights of our 3 weeks in Sulawesi. Matt & Finn…

True to its name, the private island resort Reconnect, located a stone’s throw underneath the Togean islands in Central Sulawesi, is an ideal space to turn off and reconnect with one’s self. Bukabuka island, where this magical place is situated, is reachable in 30 minutes by boat from the mainland city of Ampana. Crystal clear water and a spectacular reef are safe and accessible directly from the resort. Mostly all bungalows are located right on the beach, offering a spectacular view even from the bed. I spent most of my time enjoying the woven hammock on the veranda of my bungalow, letting go of the urban stress in my bones and muscles while staring into the clouds and the soft waves. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the food is varied and exquisite. Electricity is available 24/7 and for those who can’t completely live off the grid, the resort is located in the only spot of the island that has good signal coming from the mainland. All in all the question is not if I will return, but simply when will I come back. I feel so lucky I found this place (or that this place found me;) …

We had an opportunity to stay at the Reconnect Island Resort for a week, and had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the coral reefs, beaches, and the beautiful sunsets. Thomas Despin, who created the resort, and his team were dedicated to making our visit totally enjoyable and provided excellent hospitality. The pure beauty of the nature on this pristine private island presents a rich atmosphere that anyone would love. And Reconnect does not simply offer a tourism experience, it also enhances the beauty of this Indonesian island by protecting it. Reconnect uses local resources, and employs local people, to provide a pleasurable experience without polluting the planet. Solar panels to save energy, a policy of using less single use plastic, composting, and protecting the coral reefs is a big part of its identity. Come to reconnect…

We stayed one week in Reconnect during our one month trip in Sulawesi. Our kids (5 and 9) loved the place and are still taking about it ! Thomas is a very caring and friendly host. The equipments were far better than the other hotel we stayed in Togian (Kadidiri). Finally, the snorkeling is also great, with an impressive underwater cliff prone to see sharks and turtles (although less turtles than in Bunaken).I highly recommend this place to any family!

We had the most incredible time at Reconnect Island Resort. A true private getaway on a pristine island with a beautiful white sand beach and turquoise clear waters with incredible corals to snorkel around and explore. The team at Reconnect are so kind and helpful and even organized a snorkeling boat trip around the island. They set up breakfast privately for us on our porch or at the end of the dock which was a perfect way to start the day. The food here was incredible and always something different. A major perk of this resort is the access to Wi-fi and 24/7 electricity which isn’t always the case in the Togean Islands. If you are planning a trip to Sulawesi, Buka Buka Island - Reconnect Resort is not to be missed!

We had an incredible stay at Reconnect Island Resort. We stayed for 4 nights in the Villa and the Glamping tent, each were beautiful and had all of the amenities you could want. This resort while being on an island (1hour boat ride from Ampana, Sulawesi) had electricity 24/7 and solid Wi-Fi. There is plenty to do during your stay including paddle boarding, snorkeling (corals are beautiful and untouched) at the house reef, go on a snorkeling trip around the private island, enjoy the white soft sand beach, stargazing at night. The food here was delicious and the portions were quite large and included yummy desserts! The staff were so friendly and overall it really is the perfect island getaway!

I stayed twice at Reconnect island resort in its beachfront villa. I liked it so much that I ended up extending up to 3 months. I loved waking up to the sound of the waves, exploring the reef and the island. The food was delicious and healthy, I even had lobsters ! The staff was really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs an authentic break in nature.

If you are a diver and want to experience the best diving in the world, this is it. The island is completely surrounded by unbelievable and colorful coral reef. We stayed a week here and were able to dive every single day. This is the true experience of traveling in Indonesia. You get to spend some time with the locals and share some beautiful moments. The staff here is absolutely caring and sweet. I’m so grateful for this experience, it was truly everything I wanted!

This place is unreal and 100% worth the trip. The perfect escape from the tourist filled places in Bali. The nature, ocean and surroundings are so beautiful and untouched. To top off this great expierence the facilities, staff and food are so great! When you come here you will not want to leave. I was also really suprised with the good Wifi signal since it’s a remote island. Had good connection the whole stay! Thomas is really helpfull and goves the greatest advice on where to explore.
