Buka Buka Island is an incredible piece of remote paradise, in the middle of Central Sulawesi.
After following the journey of how Thomas Despin built this resort at the door of the Togean Islands, I always wanted to go and experience living there.
I went there with my girlfriend, and it was far beyond our expectations.
This island has so much more to offer than what you can see on the pictures.
At night, a millions stars in the sky, and just as many blinking phytoplancton in the ocean.
The locals are mostly Bajau people, who happily share their unique fishing technique of speargun fishing in apnea (called "pana" here).
Thomas and his wife, Elvi, always did their best to help with any arrangement we needed to get there, and they helped make our stay an incredible island experience we will never forget.
We stayed for 2 weeks, but honestly, even 1 month wouldn't be enough.
We'll definitely come back for our next holidays!
