Good beach resort in PNG? Or West Papua?Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea | ||
We'll be with a tour group in PNG for 12 days in August. We have about 4 days after the tour finishes to chill out somewhere and we'd like it to be on a GREAT beach. Maybe somewhere close to a good dive site... Does anyone have any suggestions in PNG, West Papua, Indonesia, or perhaps another nearby island? Looking for quiet, nice accommodations, and good food. Thanks. | ||
If all you have is 4 days, it should be reasonably close to wherever your tour ends. | 1 | |
We can finish in either Tari or Port Morsbey. | 2 | |

Can't imagine they will leave you in Tari. It is the end of the road. Easiest from POM is Loloata Island a short boat trip from POM. That said, the best beaches are in New Ireland or Bougainville. New Ireland from POM is your best bet but 4 days here goes fast! Good Luck! | 4 | |
Was in Wewak (Sundaun province) lately, where nearby islands Kairiru and Mushu blew my mind. Kairiru is a tropic paradise but not too much for swimming as well as too basic for diving. Mushu offers you great swimming and beaches without sandflies!!! Contact there Mathew Mando at rainubeach.lodge@gmail.com for more info. | 5 | |
