Welcome to BIRDNEST
Perched where the lush tropical rainforest meets the vibrant Celebes Sea, BIRDNEST is more than a boutique resort—it is a curated escape for the soul. Located in the heart of Manado, North Sulawesi of Indonesia. We offer a pleasant, intimate base for those who find beauty through a lens or beneath the waves.
A private compound on the coast of Manado, North Sulawesi invites you into an elegant contemporary space that is bright and airy by day, and intriguing by night, lit up with romantic, shimmering lights.
Immerse yourself in a natural serene beauty of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.

Our 5 villas are designed to be your private sanctuary. Blending rustic “nest-like” warmth with modern bohemian luxury, each space invites the outside in.
• The Bedroom: Earthy tones, natural textures, and premium linens designed for deep post-adventure rest.
